About this ebook
“Reading When God Happens is like receiving an intravenous dose of hope in a world parched by hopelessness. It will remind you not just to hope for miracles but to expect them.”—Melanie Hemry, Guideposts magazine writer and author of fifty-four books
“A powerful read.”—Dimas Salaberrios, author of Street God
“True stories like these require those who don’t believe in angels … to explain the unexplainable.”—Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist
A car flips over on the highway and bursts into flames. A father hears devastating news about his unborn child. A teenage girl follows a friend to a dangerous party.
Then God happens.
If you have ever doubted the miraculous power of God, prepare to be astonished. Here, real people share true stories of modern-day miracles—moments of divine intervention when the hand of God was briefly and beautifully revealed. Edited by bestselling authors Angela Hunt and Bill Myers, the eight stories in When God Happens include first-hand accounts of medical healing, angelic visitation, and demonic possession.
As Hunt and Myers write, these testimonies “are a reminder that the God who reached down to touch those He loved in Bible days has not changed. He has not turned His back on us or left us to our own devices. As Scripture also states, ‘[He] is the same yesterday, today, and forever.’ ”
We pray these stories inspire you to look to God for the deepest needs in your life as you discover how He has worked in the lives of others just like you.

Reviews for When God Happens
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
4/5
1 rating2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This collection of short stories is a good balance in every imaginable way: new and well-known writers, across all major types of Judeo-Christian factions, exploring the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of religion. It offers a new perspective on the life of clergy and a fun look at the life of the congregation. I especially enjoyed: A Father's Story (Andre Dubus), God's Typhoon (John Hersey), The Question of Rain (William Hoffman), Idiots First (Bernard Malamud), The Retreat (Bobbie Ann Mason), Parker's Back (Flannery O'Connor), The Pure in Heart (Peggy Payne), The Rabbi in the Attic (Eilleen Pollack), Defender of the Faith (Philip Roth), and Made in Heaven (John Updike).
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5God: Stories came as a surprise to me because, by the title, I was expecting a book of fun and somewhat irreverent short stories with God as the lovable protagonist. But this was even better. Every story shows a character's interaction and struggle with their spirituality, how it affects our mindset and our lives. Some stories are irreverent or bitter, some are uplifting, but all of them are thoughtful and well-written. I especially enjoyed Gill, Hoffman, Payne, and Pollack
