When God Gets Physical

God is spirit, but sometimes he gets physical. Tommy knows this because he begged God to heal his injured foot and a gentle touch, like the tickly prance of a butterfly dancing, moved across his infected wound and instantly healed it. In these pages, you will meet Tommy and 30 others who experienced God's presence through a physical sense, usually when they were in trouble and sought God's help. In the process, they encountered an angel, heard an audible voice, felt a floating sensation, saw a dream or vision, experienced a supernatural healing, or noticed a natural event-a shooting star, for example-or some other physical sign. In the time-honored tradition of the personal faith testimony, each story is rooted in the character and life circumstance of the witness, for it is only in the human context that God's acts have meaning. Written with an ear for the heart and an eye for the wondrous place where spirit dwells, master storyteller Carole Harris Barton's inspiring collection of true stories will awaken you to the mystery of God's presence and the extraordinary means God sometimes uses to help people navigate the uncertain and painful events of ordinary life.
