Everyday Miracles: Stories That Touch Your Heart

By Margaret Ottley Okubo

In this book, the author presents a series of short stories, each of real occurrences, which remind us that miracles , usually referred to in the Biblical era, occur even today. It is her hope that these stories will enable us to view life from a new perspective, and recognize the miracles in every obstacle we encounter. * Jimmy, whose mother willingly shared one of her guardian Angels with him, excelled miraculously at his favorite sport, soccer. * Mr. Johnson, a patient of mine, afforded me an opportunity to say I am sorry. He taught me a precious lesson in forgiveness, and in humility. * Joyce and her husband Patrick, a warm hearted and sincere couple, remind us of the folly of judging others. * Chris, the suicide survivor, is a young man, who in desperation gave up on life; he literally threw in the towel, only to discover that God had other plans for him. * Albert was a young man who often found himself on the wrong side of the law. His mother teaches us a lesson in unconditional love. * Tom, a high school student, tells of his meeting with Jesus and the lesson he learned about Love. Read the wonderful message he brings us. These, and other inspiring stories in this book, are sure to afford the reader a deeply spiritual experience.

Review by Sharon Weimer

If you are looking for cause to believe in a higher power, I strongly recommend Everyday Miracles. Truly inspirational, I found myself marveling at events in the author's life that touched my heart and soul deeply. Some stories surprising, some frightening, and some even amusing. Each one a different reason to be astounded. An intriguing book you will not be able to put down.

Michael Jordan - Author - The Heart of an addict

I found the stories in Margaret's book "Everyday Miracles" to be heartwarming, moving and inspirational. Each story shows just how much the Lord affects our daily lives. On a more personal note Margaret is one of the fellow Poets on Poetry Soup who has helped me find my way home to the Lord. She truly is as blessed a person as she is a writer. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to be enlightened on how to see the Miracles in their lives. The Heart of an Addict

A Collection of touching stories

Everday Miracles is a collection of short stories that do indeed touch the heart. Each story serves as a reminder of of how we can achieve peace and happiness if only we remembered to "do unto others..." and to appreciate the divine inspiration and intervention that appears to us each day, if only we looked for it and recognized it.

Interesting Real Life Stories

This is an excellent book of reality short stories. It's enjoyable reading with a lot to offer. Some of the chapters and stories stand out more than others. One chapter regarding assisting others is chapter fifteen. This chapter touches on the art of helping others who are less fortunate. Another great chapter is chapter twenty-six, entitled "Not Without My Children." This one will keep you on the edge of your seat. Margaret really relays her life experiences in this book, and how others have impacted her life in the process. One is able to interpret "Divine Intervention" at work in the stories. This is an excellent book to read, and the life stories are very intriguing, stimulating, relaxing, and revealing. These stories will touch your heart and I just love them! Another great book to read is "Trilogy Moments for the Mind, Body and Soul." This book introduces the new "Epulaeryu" poetic form, and it's also filled with great inspirational poems to stimulate the mind, body and soul.
