MIRACLE ON HOPE HILL

A collection of true, inspiring stories that show God's love and affirmation intervening in the lives of ordinary people. It includes stories of romance, heartache, tragedy, and celebration, but all with the common thread of "God moments" that show His love, intervention, and blessing.

Every now and then, such moments are so spectacular that we can't miss them. But far more often we miss them altogether, perhaps calling our experience a stroke of good luck or taking credit for the unexpected blessing as simply "our due." However, when we truly consider these events, we discover how ever-present God is and we begin to recognize ways in which God is affirming, leading, and demonstrating His love for us. At times His touch is one of comfort when we are hurting. It may come quietly, unexpectedly, or from the hand of someone He has moved to meet our need. Other times we may be so consumed with despair that we assume God has abandoned us. But He has not. His love is shown to us in subtle ways that we sometimes miss because we are so caught up in the complexity or misery of our circumstances.

This inspiring collection of stories is written by two authors sisters, in fact who annually speak extensively before over 50,000 people both nationally and internationally. Carol Kent, a bestselling author on her own, and Jennie Dimkoff, a storyteller, have contributed many such stories to bestselling collections. This is their first joint project to create a story collection.

Carol Kent is an international public speaker and the bestselling author of When I Lay My Isaac Down and A New Kind of Normal. She is hilariously funny, biblically sound, and heartbreakingly transparent in person and in print. Founder and president of Speak Up for Hope (a prison ministry), Speak Up With Confidence (a communications training seminar), and Speak Up Speaker Services (a speakers bureau), Carol is an expert on public speaking, writing, and on encouraging people to hold on to hope when life's circumstances turn out differently from their dreams.

Jennie Afman Dimkoff is a motivational speaker, trainer, and author, speaking widely throughout the US and Canada, as well as in South Korea and Germany. President of Storyline Ministries, Inc. and author and storyteller for Kids' Time, a children's audio story ministry, Jennie also serves on the staff of Speak Up With Confidence Seminars teaching each year.
