Manifesting Miracles by Barbara E Harris is a wonderful book. A first person narrative would be really interesting to read. The near death experience is a fascinating topic. I would love to read about it.

The premise of this book intrigued me. I would love to read this as I believe miracles are real and I am interested to see the point of view presented in this book.

This seems like a positive book written with tremendous insight. It's unfortunate that you found so many erros, but it's great that there were other positives. Thanks for the great review!

What an insightful review. When I was reading your description of the book, I kept thinking, “This must be a fictional account.” But you clearly state this is a non-fiction and an account of her experiences. I think you are right that those who are skeptical should steer clear.

I am happy that the author's near death experience led to her experience with the supernatural. Great review.

I don’t usually read a lot of spiritual books, so I’ll pass on this one. Great review, though!

Today's nonfiction BOTD is a first-person narrative about connections and experiences that are both unexplained and extraordinary. Filled with prayers, poems, and stories of loss, survival, and courage, this read will most appeal to those who enjoy spiritual and inspirational messages. Thank you so much for the wonderful review! :-)

I think most of us have lived, at least once in our lives, a moment when something inexplicable, irrational happened. I suppose it depends on us through which lens we choose to look at these situations: coincidence or alignment?

Thank you for your wonderful review!

As a religious person, I firmly believe in miracles. My philosophy runs along the lines of "Divine Design." All things happen according to God's plan and timing. The review does a wonderful job of explaining what this book is about and it has just about convinced me to read the book.

This sounds like a very uplifting and inspirational read. I do believe God's hand is at work all around us and would love to understand different perspectives on the matter. Thank you for the great review, I will be giving this book a read!

Manifesting Miracles looks like an interesting read for those who are into spirituality. The author also shares her real life experiences of near death experience. It certainly piques my interest. Thanks for the detailed review.

Reading tbe review and the sample chapters, I feel strongly that I would like to read this book. I have no special attachment to Mary, other than being Jesus' mother, but it is very facinating how the author became so interested in her and felt that she was receiving messages from her. This looks like it is going to be a great book and will fill a need that I have.

Not really a fan of these topics but great review though! Near-death experiences are interesting to read for me, but I don't think this book is for me. Thanks for the review!

I am a skeptical reader. I may not find this book interesting or convincing and so I will steer clear of this book. Congrats on BOTD!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book about the author's view and belief via real-life experience as to extraordinary experiences. It might be worth a second look. Well done.
