I believe this book is inspirational. This is not really my type of genre but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your review is insightful. Thank you

As someone who has “travelled to the other side during a Near Death Experience (NDE),” she strongly believes that “there is a paradigm beyond the physical.”

You got my attention there, say no more. I'm all in! "Manifesting Miracles" by Barbara E Harris definitely has my attention now.

I often noticed life's extraordinary coincidences, but I'm rather skeptical when it comes to near-death experiences, spiritual revelations, and messages from Mother Mary. However, it's great that the book targets people of all religions and faiths and carries a message of unconditional love. Thanks for your review!

A religious book about miracles isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I've gotten my free copy and I'm glad you enjoyed the book.

This book has already manifested a miracle by being the book of the day.
I like the way it relates casual coincidences to meaningful activities. I'm surely voting it as book of the month.

I don't really enjoy this type of book, but I'm glad you did. I am curious to know what these coincidences were in her life and why she feels such a connection to Mary. Thank you for a great review!

I’m not a big fan of the “Mother Mary” angle, but I always like to read of people’s experiences. I can’t always explain some of the things that have happened in my life, and it seems that this author is asking for readers to give the book a chance. God works in many ways, so I think I will be reading this one. Thanks for the insight. Hopefully, those errors got cleaned up.

I usually attribute the type of coincidences described to divine intervention, so I like the book's title. However, certain aspects seem ambiguous. Thanks for your enlightening review.

A book with positive messages is what I'd love to read. I don't fancy reading spiritual based books, but I will still read it. Great review.

Really good review if even person like me, who doesn't believe in all that "divine intervention" experiences, is seriously considering this book. Although, it is totally not my idea of entertainment, I am still thinking to give it a try.

What I most enjoyed about this first-person narrative was how Harris described the unfolding of her bond with the Virgin Mary. Like so many Catholic women, the author felt an unexplainably strong connection to the Virgin Mary. Surprisingly, though, she wasn't raised as a Catholic. “Neither the Baptist church I attended for the first twelve years of my life nor the small neighborhood Methodist church I belonged to thereafter emphasized Mary’s role,” she explains. Nonetheless, she had an impressive vision of Mother Mary in Clearwater, Florida, and this gave her the courage to tell her story.
I find this so unusual! I was raised a Catholic, but I know other churches don't put much emphasis on the Virgin Mary. I wonder what explanation the author offers for her special bond with the Virgin. I'll have to read it to find out.
Hopefully, the author will take your comments into account for further editions, because this book could have great potential, especially for spiritual people.
Thank you for the great review!
