A Treasury of Miracles for Teens
Page 13
Was there ever a time when a stranger offered you help, hope, or encouragement? Is it possible that person could have been an angel? Write the story and be careful to include the little details.
Have you or any of your friends or family experienced an increase in faith, and in the process witnessed a miraculous change in some aspect of life? Tell about the before and after of this person, and again, look for the amazing details that make a difference.
Remember, this collection isn’t complete until it has your story here in the back of the book. It’s a treasury—a treasure chest of stories—and nothing could be more precious than your personal account of God’s miraculous presence among us.
Grab your pen and get writing. This will be a book you’ll want to keep around. That way, when the news shouting at you from the TV is nothing but bad, you’ll have something to fall back on.
And better yet, a reason to believe.
Filled with amazing true stories for and about teens, this uplifting collection shows us that we are never alone, not even in the darkest hour— not even when life takes the most astonishing turns.
A TREASURY OF MIRACLES FOR TEENS
A terrifying abduction leaves two girls desperate to escape…a blizzard howls around a freezing young hiker…a twin in a hospital waiting room has never felt so afraid…. Where can they turn when it seems that nothing, or no one, can help? The answer is as close as a heartbeat away, for God is always there when we need His love—or a miracle.
In this extraordinary collection, inspirational author Karen Kingsbury brings together the stories of teens all across America. Each real-life tale contains proof that God cares about us 24/7 and responds to our prayers, often in surprising ways. Among them are:
Miracle on Two Battlefields. Sent to war in the Middle East, a young soldier cries out for help in the face of certain death. What happens next no one can explain…
Missing Daddy. A despairing daughter asks for a sign that her father has not left her forever… and gets a stunning response.
A Face like Jesus. Drugs have taken over the life of this sixteen-year-old. But the struggle for his soul and his future will take a dramatic turn in a place as unlikely as the local supermarket.
Heaven’s Perfect Timing. A college freshman drives home in a worsening storm. Ahead lies danger she cannot see. It would take a miracle to get her to stop in time….
These deeply moving stories show us how faith works in wondrous ways for ordinary teens. Their experiences can encourage us to keep God involved in our own lives and to experience for ourselves the power—and miraculous possibilities—of love.
