"Faith can't necessarily be explained no matter what religion you
are but there are examples where faith has moved mountains for
people. This book helps people to understand, from whatever
religious perspective they have, that there is someone watching
over you."

one day unconnected to the next; God Stories reveals the
golden threads that link lives and loves and give us strength to

"Here''s one thoughtful, readable and thoroughly engaging approach
to understanding the phenomenon of faith and inspiration, the
existence of which we cannot dispute, but the sources of which are
a constant wonder."
-Becky Madeira, Vice President, Pepsico
"I''m not a believer - so God Stories and spiritual
experiences I usually take as proof of people''s willingness to
believe anything, no matter how nonsensical and silly. These tales
bought to us by Jennifer Skiff are not silly. If you abstract the
religious elements you are left with people at a point in their
lives where they discover optimism and joy. There is not enough of
either in the world and we need more people to affirm 'Yes life is
worth living'. These stories do just that."
-Guy Brooke, The Earl of Warwick
"God Stories are the stuff of life and living. Reading
this book is a touching and soul penetrating experience."
-Mark Victor Hansen, Co-creator, #1 New York Times best
selling series Chicken Soup for the Soul ® and co-author,

Millionaire
"At the beginning of the twentieth century William James wrote an
important book on the varieties of religious experience. Now, a
century later, Jennifer Skiff has collected a variety of early
twenty- first century accounts of religious experience, all
helpfully organized in themes. These give us some direct insight
into the ways in which different people interpret their human
experiences, particularly unexpected and unusual experiences, and
how they do this religiously. If a miracle is defined as any
unusual or unexpected occurrence that brings a person to a
heightened awareness in time of the presence of the eternal God and
of the ultimate mystery of life, then the clear conclusion is that
''miracles do happen!'' Those whose trade is in abstract theology
will be inspired and impressed by the degree of religious
conviction that can be triggered by concrete religiously
interpreted experience."
-Peter Carnley, Co-Chair of the Anglican Roman Catholic
International Commission
"My eyes filled with tears and my heart lifted as I read God
Stories. Jennifer Skiff has presented us with a wide range of
heavenly touches, everything from quiet hugs to stunning
out-of-body experiences, and readers of all faiths will be moved.
As the praise song goes, "Our God is an awesome God!" Each page of
this beautiful book attests to that."
-Joan Wester Anderson, author of Where Angels Walk and
Angels and Wonders
"A bouquet of inspiring stories...for the believer and nonbeliever
alike."
