The Miracle: A Visionary Novel

By Michael Gurian

Book Overview

From bestselling author Michael Gurian comes a spiritual thriller
that will change the way you look at the world forever.
The car crash that killed Jeffrey, a child of prophecy, was a dreadful tragedy. But for the twelve witnesses to this terrible moment it was an incident that set off a string of spiritual awakenings and inexplicable miracles that would forever transform their lives. For Beth Carey and the others, including a serial murderer who calls himself the Light Killer, the events of that late-summer evening pulled back the veil that separates life and death. Though all witnessed the same doorway of light open over the dying boy's body, only Beth will discover the invisible world that binds all human life together. As she evolves into the "new human" forecast centuries ago by St. Teresa of Avila, and as the Light Killer confronts inner storms of human evil, forty-eight hours of miracles reveal the poignant faces of human vulnerability, and the hidden face of God.
Vivid, often breathtaking, The Miracle is part old-fashioned mystery, part new-age revelation. A fascinating and dramatic look at the subtle links between all life, it offers an answer to the greatest mystery of them all.

A Real Page-Turner!

I found "The Miracle: A Visionary Novel" to be a real page-turner. In fact, it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish - and that is no easy feat! This mystery includes a serial child-killer, the death of a "child of prophecy", and the paranormal effects of an amazing light that covered the town after this child's death. Although everyone is impacted by the light, Beth is affected the most. She begins to experience clairaudience, clairvoyance, and a heightened ability to sense/feel things in her environment. Will her new-found paranormal abilities help her catch the serial killer before he takes another victim? Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries with a paranormal element - it's one of the best I've read so far!

very creative and spiritual tale

In northern Spokane, Washington lies a wildlife refuge and the subdivision, Lucia Court, a community in the truest sense of the world. Everyone loves six years old Jeffrey Roman who is dying of cancer. He is a remarkable little boy who communicates with spirits and knows things through a sixth sense. His life is tragically cut short when a car crashes into him as he sits in his wheelchair on the sidewalk.A strong light emerges from the wreckage enveloping the whole community crossing the river to the home of Donnell Wight who is also dying from cancer. The Light affects everyone in different ways but Beth's psychic powers reemerge even stronger than anything she ever experienced, manifesting itself in ways that could only be Divine. Another person the Light touches is the serial killer known as "The Light killer". He and Beth connect in ways that shouldn't exist but there is a bond between them that makes her the ray of hope in stopping him from killing more children.This book, labeled "A Visionary Novel", attempts to define the Divine in a way that is simultaneously mystical and scientific. The author contends that mankind is evolving into homo infiniens and will one day understand the spiritual mysteries of the universe. The people touched by the Light becomes believers in something bigger than what they once comprehended. The serial killer sub-plot is used to explain why good and evil must exist in the world. This is a very creative and spiritual tale, one that explains many of the leading religious systems. Reading THE MIRACLE is an experience not to be missed.Harriet Klausner
