Miracles and Other Reasonable Things: A Story of Unlearning and Relearning God Audiobook (Free)

A deeply moving and life-affirming account of wrestling with trust and God and locating miracles in the most unexpected places.

In the brief instant Sarah Bessey realized that her minivan was, inevitably, likely to hit the automobile on the road around the bright, clear day of the crash, she knew intuitively that it would have life-changing consequences. But mainly because she navigated the winding route from her existence before the incident—as a favorite author, preacher, and caring wife and mother—to her new lease of life about Miracles and Other Fair Things: A Story of Unlearning and Relearning God after, inhabiting a body that no more felt like her very own, she found that the most unpredicted result wasn’t the way this shook her body, but how it shook her deeply rooted trust, upending everything she believed she understood and held so dearly.

Weaving together theology and memoir in her brand narrative design, Sarah tells us the storyplot of the moment that transformed her body and how it ultimately transformed her life. The street of healing leads to Rome where she met the Pope (it’s complicated) and encountered the Holy Nature in the last place she anticipated. She writes about her miraculous curing, learning to live with chronic discomfort, and the methods God makes us whole in the midst of struggling. She invites us to a path of knowing God that’s filled with regular miracles, hope when confronted with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and additional completely reasonable points.

Insightful, serious, and unexpected, Wonders and Other Fair Things is certainly a wild, spirit-filled tale of what this means to live with both grief and faith, suffering and joy, even as we wrestle with God.
