We live in a world where the ordinary has become the status quo. For many, simply getting by from day to day feels like enough—and nothing more. We sit at home, scrolling through social media or watching TV screens filled with people doing the miraculous, accomplishing what seems impossible. For a moment, we whisper, "I wish I could do that." But then we stop. And we don't.

What if the miracle isn't the vanishing of a wound, but the unwavering courage to carry on life with the grace needed to go through life? What if you've tried everything to have your prayers answered, yet the answer never comes? What if you've given up believing that God is real and bravely live as if this were your lot in life? Michael explores with brutal honesty how to live a meaningful life amid pain and suffering, how to carry on even when there is no resolution.

Seven-year-old Emma has always felt a little different. She notices things others overlook, feels deeply, dreams boldly, and asks big questions about who she is and why she matters. But when a gentle conversation with her mom leads her to the words of Scripture, Emma begins a beautiful journey of understanding: she is fearfully and wonderfully made—crafted with purpose, loved without limits, and created in the very image of God.

No matter how dark the situation may seem, Jesus is the one who can restore and heal, bringing life and joy to those who are in need.

The people written of in the chapters were real people facing life-threatening circumstances. What he was able to accomplish in the broken lives of people in the bible he is still able to do today.

Saul knew the Law with precision. He trained under the best teachers, walked the straightest lines, and carried scripture like breath in his lungs. His mind was formed around tradition. His identity was sealed by discipline. His confidence came from believing he was right with God and from doing everything required to prove it.
