Healing the blind. Walking on water. Calming the storm. The shooks unpack these moments in modern language to usher you into the pain, breakthrough, desperation, and miracle of each encounter.

Weaving together the biblical narrative with contemporary real-life application, Kerry and Chris Shook arrange these New Testament miracles under four overarching descriptions of Jesus the Miracle Worker: the Healer, the Provider, the Storm Chaser, and the Life Giver.

Plus they reveal a “miracle map” that connects that moment long ago to our needs today for revelation, transformation, and restoration. Feeding thousands with a few loaves and fish. Every miracle Jesus performed was for a purpose. There was provision for that specific moment in time. But what if each miracle was also embedded with the promise of future provision…for you?   In Find Your Miracle, New York Times best-selling authors Kerry and Chris Shook take a fresh look at nine of Jesus’s most incredible times of healing and supernatural intervention.

It’s what we Believe About them that Matters. In this creative work, scot mcknight explores what the Bible says – and doesn’t say – about these majestic beings.

The Hum of Angels illuminates what the Bible says about these heavenly beings; and it helps you to understand the deepest truths about one of God’s most magnificent and yet misunderstood creations.

. And that’s deeply important because angels are still on mission today. Would you recognize an angel if You Saw One?The majority of earth’s inhabitants believe in Angels. They express god’s love, confirm His presence, and even lead humans in redemptive worship.
