What is Christmas Miracles About

Christmas Miracles is a compilation of true stories as recounted by a number of writers with varying backgrounds. The stories range from families in need receiving great blessings to families who lost a loved one over the Christmas season and how they handled the loss.

Mixed in with these are other charming tales such as the one told through the eyes of an eight year old. As she and her family were sitting down to Christmas dinner, there was a knock at the door. An old woman stood outside asking for lettuce for her rabbit and thread and needle to repair her coat. She ends up sharing their meal with them. The reader will also be drawn in by the story of a woman's miscarriage and subsequent birth of a Christmas baby.

One of the more unusual tales concerns a young woman stranded in Spain at Christmas and a convent and nuns. Another tells of an erupting volcano and God's provision as a family undertakes to care for 65 people for three weeks.
