Be The Miracle: 50 Lessons For Making The Impossible Possible (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Be the Miracle was inspirational and wonderfully well-written. I found the book while browsing the nonfiction shelf at my library, so I didn't come to it knowing who Regina Brett was or having heard about or read her first book. The book is a good mixture of inspirational stories and spiritual musings. Some things that I particularly liked about it were 1) she's from Cleveland and the stories of life in Ohio can be hard scrabble but I found them to be very reflective of what life is like for so many average Americans who live in not so glamorous places. 2) She has friends who are Catholic priests and some of their wisdom makes its way into these pages. Nowadays the Catholic church has a real image issue (and deservedly so), but there still many good men working in the church. Sometimes I thought there might have been a little bit of a pile-on with the bad luck/cancer stories in the book. But other than that, it spoke to me. While not everyone enjoys essay format books, I do, especially when they are this well written. That said, I LOVED this book. It was thought provoking and written with just the right touch of humor. I think it would rock as a discussion/study tool for a weekly bible study. (Add 2 more essays and it would last a whole year!) Better yet, make it 365, one for each day of the year, and it would be absolutley perfect.
What do You think about Be The Miracle: 50 Lessons For Making The Impossible Possible (2012)?
Another great inspiring novel I highly recommend. It really makes one think and reflect on life.
