About this audiobook
More incredible stories of God’s intervention
Some things in life have no earthly explanation. It’s just a God thing.
Miracles are not reserved for the characters in the Old and New Testaments; they happen to everyday people today, all around the world. Series creators Don Jacobson and K-LOVE Radio Network (14 million listeners) have joined together once again to produce a remarkable collection of modern-day miracles.
Stories include:
- A man who was mysteriously pulled from a broken truck as it sailed over a ravine
- A young boy who made a full recovery after being trapped under water for seven minutes
- A young girl who defied all medical prognoses and survived after her vehicle was hit by a train
- A mother, compelled to drive across town, who found her nine-year-old son stranded and alone at a busy intersection
Experiences like these are far more common than one may realize. From more than 1,000 occurrences, these more than 50 stories were chosen for their ability to amaze, encourage, and inspire all who live each day with both faith and doubt, victory and despair. Each day, the sunrise itself is a sign of God’s miraculous hand, and these stories prove that it’s only the beginning.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It’s a God Thing is full of stories about miracles, some extraordinary and some seemingly more ordinary, but in reality no less miraculous. One of the goals of the writer(s) of this book was to remind the readers that God’s guidance is all around us every day (from the introduction). I think they did an excellent job.Some of the stories may seem like mere coincidences, but what I like to call God-incidents, and I am agreeing with the author(s) here that such things could be rightly called miracles.Not every story has a completely happy ending but every story is truly edifying in its own way to some degree or another. Every story is also unique.One of the very best things about this book was the very large variety in the type of stories, all the different topics of miracles that were included. They were not all about physical healing although those were included. They were not all about financial miracles although those were included. Some other topics were healing from addictions, salvation from natural or man-made disasters, and just plain old spiritual salvation, which as the author(s) pointed out could very well be the greatest miracle of them all. There were other topics as well, almost any topic you can imagine was included.Reading this book didn’t exactly give me faith, since faith is not made from things that are seen or experienced but it gave me the desire to apply my faith to my life. That is what inspiring faith is all about. It can’t be imparted but it can be encouraged to be used. This book did that for me.If you would like encouragement to apply your faith in your life this book is for you. If you generally like miracle stories this book is for you. If you are a staunch skeptic this book probably isn’t going to change your mind. No book, no story, no testimony is likely to change your mind. Only the touch of God will do that.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from publisher through the Booklookbloggers.com book review bloggers program.
