All About the Miracles: A Book of Poems and Other Contemplations on God's Holy Word (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940645834)

For anyone who grew up in Sunday school, the stories of Jesus' miracles are familiar: turning water into wine, banishing a demon, healing a blind man, speaking a storm out of existence. These miracles, even in their incredulousness, may be so matter-of-factly accepted that we cease to be astonished by the depth of love to which they testify. Mayna Cosby is out to change that. In All About the Miracles, she seeks to dig deeper into the stories, focusing not just on the miracles themselves, but on the one who performed them. "We look with amazement into that magnanimous heart of Jesus," she writes, "and are awed by His radical love, depth of compassion, and His forgiveness unto salvation." All About the Miracles is a fresh take on a familiar collection of Bible stories. For the reader, Cosby's poems and other writings may just open a new window onto the miracle-maker Himself.
