Summary
What exactly is a miracle?That's the question three women--each of whom experienced something extraordinary in her life--try to answer. Joan's son had survived a catastrophic illness. Katie had escaped a notorious serial killer. And Meb's 6-month-old daughter had suffered abuse and was now blind; she coped through the power of prayer and faith. The Miracle Chaseis the story of how they tried to discover what the great religions have to tell us about miracles, why some people are blessed with miracles, and how anyone could believe in miracles in an age of science. In the process, Joan, Katie, and Meb transform a friendship into a spiritual odyssey.
