In "Miracles and Other Reasonable Things," Sarah Bessey weaves a powerful narrative that plunges into the depths of faith, pain, and unexpected healing. Following a devastating car accident that thrust her into a journey of intense physical and spiritual recovery, Bessey, a beloved author and speaker, finds her convictions and understanding of God profoundly challenged. With raw honesty and poignant storytelling, she invites readers into her most personal experiences—from the wreckage of her body to the rebuilding of her soul in ways she never anticipated. Bessey's journey is not just one of suffering, but also of miraculous encounters and the rediscovery of hope in places most would deem unlikely. Her pilgrimage to Rome, an unexpected meeting with the Pope, and her wrestling with the Holy Spirit in the midst of chronic pain, all serve as testament to a God who works in ways beyond our understanding. "Miracles and Other Reasonable Things" is an invitation to explore a faith that embraces the contradictions of life—where miracles exist not only in the extraordinary but in the everyday moments, and holiness is found in the messiness of real life. This book is a compelling narrative that dares to ask what it means to believe in a God who is present in both our deepest grief and our greatest joys, offering a fresh perspective on the divine that is both challenging and deeply comforting.

We have to be committed to unlearning the unhelpful, broken, unredemptive, false, or incomplete God if we want to have space to relearn the goodness, the wholeness, the joy of a loving God.
