From
Book of the Moment:
"Miracle" was a story unlike any
I've read in the past and is part of a genre I've avoided up until
this point. I tend to shy away from anything focused around God
and/or religion: including but not limited to: churches, religious
zealots, books about finding God etc, etc. That being said, as soon
as I realized what the focus of this book was I wanted to throw it
away....BUT I didn't...and for that I'm actually...well, glad.
The whole don't judge a book by
its cover thing comes into play here...but rather than not judging
it by its cover, I shouldn't have judged it by its themes. Yes, the
book is a highly spiritual one, but its not overly preachy. There
were a few lines of dialogue that made me want to ..well, that's not
important, but the point is, that overall while the theme of faith
is very prevalant, its not shoving it down your throat obnoxious.
The story is that of Micah
Divine, who appears one day on a ranch. Micah is a divine being on
a mission, and over the course of his stay on the ranch, he finds
himself downright befuddled by the range of human emotions he's
experiencing. Throughout the course of his mission he meets several
people, some are characters that we come to like, others are an
embodiment of evil, but each has something to learn from Micah, and
Micah learns from them in return.
The story is about faith;
about believing in and trusting something you can't see and hear,
but you should accept anyway. The story is about love, loss and
growing as a person. It's about relationships, evil and doing the
right thing. Overall, its a story of the human spirit and the
things it can and will overcome.
The dialogue moves the story
along quickly and I have to admit I was never bored...I was never
sure what to expect when I turned the page. For a person like me,
one who doesn't like books about faith, God and religion, to
actually (dare I say it??) enjoy this book, speaks volumes
for the author's ability to touch her readers. If you're looking
for something different, or if the spiritual genre appeals to you,
I'd recommend giving "Miracle" a read.
Miracle is a great
book, a page-turner, not religious, but respectful of
religion. Delightful characters, highly entertaining.

Few authors can
claim to capture the imagination and evoke emotion like M. L. Bushman.
With Miracle, the novel, she has done it again! From the very
first page you will be hooked...This is a must own for any paranormal
thriller fan!
