of overcoming loss and doubt, and finding hope and faith. You will read about times when God, His angels and saints have interacted directly with the contributing authors in critical times of need. The reader will find stories from more than thirty writers of various faiths and ages, but all with the same goal; to share their experiences of struggle and triumph with those who need to find hope, joy, and direction for their lives. These are stories of normal people; like those you meet in the grocery store, those who cut your hair, repair your air conditioner, and teach your children. These are people who sometimes struggle to pay their bills, deal with family difficulties, and love to sleep in. They are regular people who, through God's grace, have received guidance, cures, and answered prayers. We must never think that we cannot have such experiences. We are all God's children; equal in His eyes. As you read these pages, may God's love and mercy fill you with His grace!"
