Whenever something out of the ordinary happens-a hail-Mary pass that scores the winning touchdown, an unexpected windfall of cash, a phone call from a long-lost friend, a biopsy that comes back negative-we call it a miracle. Do miracles really happen? Throughout history, people of all cultural and religious backgrounds have believed in miracles. From Constantine's vision of the Cross at Milvian Bridge to the Star of Bethlehem that heralded the rise of a new messiah, great empires and religions have flowered and faltered based on perceived miracles and visions. While skeptics might argue that miraculous happenings are nothing more or less than mere coincidence, believers say they are the work of God. In his remarkable new book, In the Realm of Miracles & Visions, best-selling author E. Randall Floyd explores the fascinating truth behind some of the most famous miracles and visions in history, including the following: Stigmata: Wounds of Passion, Weeping Madonnas & Bleeding Statues, Bilocation, the Holy Fire of Jerusalem, Laying on of Hands, the Prophecies at Fatima and Lourdes, the Spear of Destiny, the Star of Bethlehem, Signs, Wonders & Prophecies, Miraculous Survivals, Angels in Blue & Gray, the Shroud of Turin, the Gift of the Veil-Born, the Blood of Christ, Minds & Hands that Heal, Flying Priests & Nuns, Portals to the Hereafter, Crosses of Light, Speaking in Tongues: the "Language of the Angels", Healing Waters, Sacred Apparitions, Sacred Woman in Blue, Miracle at Medjugorje, Tears of Blood. In this startling and thought-provoking new book, you will discover not only how miracles and visions have affected the lives of millions of ordinary people the world over, but also how miraculous events have changed the course of history.
