Miracles: Fact or Fiction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798191790381)

What exactly is a miracle? Does every healing count? And why do some sincere, desperate prayers go unanswered?

William R. Holmes is not a pastor or a theologian. He is a layman who has carried these questions for a lifetime. In this honest and carefully written book he examines:

• What the Bible actually means by miracles-signs, wonders, and mighty works
• The full sweep of miracles from the Old Testament through the ministry of Jesus and the early church
• Credible reports of modern miracles from around the world
• Real stories from people he knows
• His own near-death experience with necrotizing fasciitis and the dramatic prayer that preceded his recovery
• The hard reality that the same friend who stood on Scripture for him later died after years of prayer for healing

Holmes refuses easy answers. He affirms that God still acts in extraordinary ways, while openly acknowledging that many faithful people never receive the miracle they long for. The result is a thoughtful, grounded exploration that takes both Scripture and lived experience seriously.

If you have ever wondered whether miracles still happen-or why they sometimes don't-this book walks with you through the evidence, the stories, and the mystery.

Miracles are real. Not everyone gets one. That tension is where this book begins.
