Before my mom could get copy, however, my little sister grabbed it and said she had been wanting to read it. Now, I knew that my little sister had contemplated suicide years ago, but I had honestly thought she had moved past that and on to a life that she was enjoying.

A few days after this musical book exchange (which I didn't even know about until later), my little sister called me with awe in her voice, "Do you know what you did?" I wasn't exactly sure what she meant. Then she went on to tell me how she had gotten to a point in her life that she believed life on earth was just a living hell and that she might as well find a way to survive it. She was berating her kids, quarreling with her four-year-old daughter, mad at world, and hurt besides. In short she had given up on ever finding God or happiness.

Then she started hearing about this book and how it was helping everyone else. After reading it, she told me, "This is what everyone who is in pain needs to hear. They need to understand this. It makes all difference in world."

At this writing she is still battling physical pain that she has had for years; however, I sincerely hope that by stepping out on that limb of faith, I have helped her find an emotional peace that I don't think she has ever had. The most amazing thing is that had it not been for tragedy of first young man, I never would have thought to give book to my sister. For going out on that limb of faith, God rescued lives I never even knew were in jeopardy.

By now, I'm sure you're wondering about title of this truly incredible book. Its name is "The Greatest Miracle in World." It's by Og Mandino. It's very short, very easy to read, and very, very powerful. If you know someone who needs a miracle in their lives, run--don't walk--to your nearest bookstore. Send it to them, give it to them, read it for yourself.

According to my sister, you need do no more than simply presenting opportunity. Don't say, "You need to read this." Just say, "I read this and enjoyed it, and I thought you might to."

What miracles does God have lined up when you read this message? I have no idea, but I took one leap of faith to send it to someone first time and saw infinitesimal results that I'm still in awe over. So basically, I'm not limiting anything God decides to do with this book and a little prompting from me anymore. Why? Because I'm here to attest: Miracles happen.
