About this ebook

The #1 bestselling author of Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther explores miracles in an inspiring response to the “New Atheists” 

Not since C. S. Lewis in 1947 has an author of Eric Metaxas’s stature undertaken a major exploration of the phenomenon of miracles. In this groundbreaking work, Metaxas examines the compatibility between faith and science and provides well-documented anecdotal evidence of actual miracles. With compelling—sometimes electrifying—evidence that there is something real to be reckoned with, Metaxas offers a timely, civil, and thoughtful answer to recent books by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris. Already a New York Times bestseller, Miracles will be welcomed by both believers and skeptics—who will find their minds opening to the possibilities.

Ratings and reviews

A truly uplifting & inspiring read by a learned, compassionate writer & a true man of Faith (& Love). Full disclosure-Eric is my Yale classmate & we're all so proud of him. But aside from that, the true life stories in 'Miracles' defy belief and serve as a beacon of hope for all in these troubled times. Eric's thematic & faith commentary on the miraculous testimonials are geared for a Christian as well as multi-faith audience, incl nonbelievers, those questioning & questing.

Eric Metaxas invites healthy skepticism while presenting a reasonable case for the existence of miracles today. I love this book, and have read it more than once!
