Summary: For those who believe in miracles
Comment: In this book, Jack Hayford intends to show us that God will work in anyone's life in a miraculous way. Mary is portrayed as a simple peasant girl who was thrown into the midst of God's plan for humankind. Similarly, any of us can choose to live such that we seek this miracle. Not one of divine impregnation in the physical sense, but an impregnation of expectancy of the work of Holy Spirit.

This book is divided into four parts: The Idea of Incarnation; The Maid and the Miracle; The Way Miracles Happen; and Learning to Grow with a Miracle. Hayford clearly believes that God works in miraculous ways and he includes several instances of this. This book is certainly not for those who discredit miracles.

An engaging book, but one that Roman Catholics will not appreciate because it portrays the humanity of Mary rather than her role as the theotokos. In particular he argues against both the immaculate conception and perpetual virginity of Mary. This is done to further his argument that Mary is similar to any one of us and we too can partake of this miracle.

As the subtitle states this book is about "receiving God's miraculous touch in your life." For those who believe this is possible this book will be an enjoyable read. Those who find this notion ridiculous will no doubt not even attempt a read. Those who are undecided may just want to give this book a chance.

Summary: A Book not just to be read at Christmas Time
Comment: As its tiltle suggests, this book is primarily centred on Mary the mother of The Lord Jesus Christ. The book comprises four parts: "The Idea of Incarnation" "The Maid and the Miracle" "The Way Miracles Happen" "Learning to Grow with a Miracle"

From reading this book, it's apparent that any attempt to suggest that Mary was, or is a Saint is very much diminished, but by the same token her humanness and her ordinariness are accentuated. The book is interspersed with personal accounts of how aspects of Mary's miracle have been applied to circumstances faced and encourages the reader by covering areas most believers have encountered.

At the back of the book, there is a section entitled "Questions for Reflection" where you can be open and honest with yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you.

Summary: Jack Hayford has another winner!
Comment: This book was so encouraging to me. I love what Pastor Hayford had to say here. The discussion centers on Mary, the mother of Jesus, and shows how God can take the ordinary things in our life and make a miracle happen. If you have felt lately that your life is mundane or going nowhere, then you need to read this book.
