Miracles for Skeptics

Encountering the Paranormal Ministry of Jesus

About this book

Are the miracle stories in the Bible actually true?
Christians and skeptics alike may doubt the veracity of Jesus's miracles. Preachers often rely on a dry, literal interpretation of his healings and wonders, or else try to tame them and explain them away rationally. Both approaches, in their obsession with historical accuracy, miss the truth behind these stories.
Frank G. Honeycutt draws out the deeper truths in the weird incidents in the Bible. In a warm, conversational style, Honeycutt reads iconic miracle stories—from the wedding at Cana to demonic exorcisms—to enrich the life of faith. Digging into these "unbelievable" stories can widen our spiritual imaginations and point to the promise of Christ's new world. Pastors seeking thoughtful    resources and any inquisitive reader will find a wealth of pastoral insight and scriptural wisdom in  Miracles for Skeptics.
