I love a good story, says author and clinical psychologist Dr. Carolyn Miller. Her book
Creating Miracles: Understanding the Experience of Divine Intervention, is full of fascinating stories of extraordinary escapes from danger.
Beginning with her own miraculous experience, Dr. Millers remarkable collection of anecdotes started to grow, as people shared with her their unusual, yet strikingly similar incidents. As intriguing as these stories were, Dr. Miller admits, I dont believe that I would have recognized their underlying significance if I had not been a student of spirituality as well as a psychologist.
