Mysteries/Miracles

This book, Expect and Experience Miracles, is drawn from one of Steve's presentations to Catholic groups in this country and abroad-one he considers the most important message he's been given to preach to all God's children. The book reflects Steve's grounding in Scripture and authentic desire to serve God by serving others. Before listening to Steve's presentation on expecting and experiencing miracles, I had a passing acquaintance with them, but really didn't consider direct divine interventions an integral part of my life. God has bigger miraculous fish to fry for really dire situations, perilous crises and truly deserving souls. I'm just a middle-aged woman with a good husband and four grown children simply trying to put one spiritual foot in front of the other on the faith journey of life. But, as Steve testifies in this book, miracles aren't just for the "saintly or holy people." Miracles are meant for me and you-and the butcher, baker and candlestick maker, the postal carrier, late night diner fry cook, the star athlete, the computer whiz and the Fortune 500 CEO, the dog-walker and the space lab astronaut. Each and every one of us on God's beautiful blue marble of a planet are recipients of God's miracles. And, as Steve tells us, some of these divine interventions are spectacular and jaw-dropping, while others are sweetly simple, but important at the moment (like making the green light when late for an important meeting). But big, small or medium in scope, each of us can expect and experience miracles if we have open hearts, faith and trust in God. Steve helps us do exactly that.

"I am simply in awe of this book. An absolutely astonishing triumph."
Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author, Bonhoeffer

The Star of Bethlehem is one of the greatest mysteries in astronomy and in the Bible. What was it? How did it prompt the Magi to set out on a long journey to Judea? How did it lead them to Jesus?

In this groundbreaking book, Colin R. Nicholl makes the compelling case that the Star of Bethlehem could only have been a great comet. Taking a fresh look at the biblical text and drawing on the latest astronomical research, this beautifully illustrated volume will introduce readers to the Bethlehem Star in all of its glory.

Father Starzynski recounts numerous episodes when he personally experienced miracles, often in totally unexpected places. His riveting stories of tiny infants facing life-threatening medical conditions, of people battling demons and disease, of his own experience overcoming depression, and more, will inspire, instruct, and provide hope for all.

Experience the miraculous testimonies from over twenty individuals and families whose lives have been touched by God through Father Starzynski's ministry, as well as helpful appendices on topics like Medjugorje, Saint Therese, and a section of prayers.

"Miracles abound in this heartfelt book. Father Stefan Starzynski takes you on a tour of miracles, big and small, and illustrates how to find them in your own life." --Raymond Arroyo, "New York Times" best-selling author of Mother Angelica and host of EWTN's "The World Over Live."
