Has a miracle ever happened to you? A prayer that was answered or an accident averted? For many, these mysterious and inspiring events are proof positive that God exists. God Stories is a collection of life-changing experiences, all celebrating that breakthrough moment when the hand of a Divine Power was felt.

Over one hundred true stories from celebrities and ordinary people alike, ranging from the dramatic (a woman asleep at the wheel was awakened in the nick of time by God's voice; another was stopped from stepping into the path of a deadly Australian snake) to everyday moments charged with significance (an answered prayer, a message of hope, a heavenly sign).

With more than one-third contributed by Australians, including Mark McEntee of the Divinyls, who tells of an uplifting encounter with the spirit of his close friend Michael Hutchence, and Alan Bond's amazing moment from The America's Cup, each story has a powerful message to share. Real, honest and hopeful, these extraordinary encounters will renew spirits and affirm faiths.

About the author

Jennifer Skiff

Jennifer Skiff's award-winning career as an international television journalist includes more than a decade as an investigative correspondent for CNN. Her specialty is the environment and among other industry honours, she has received the prestigious Environmental Media Award.

Passionate about animals and their welfare, she works with charities throughout the world to bring relief to abused and abandoned animals.

A cancer scare in her early thirties convinced her that a Divine presence was active in her life. Her journalistic instincts took over and she began a quest to find out if others had similar experiences. The result is her first book, God Stories, a collection of inspiring first-person accounts of miracle-like encounters with God. With her husband and two dogs, Jennifer spends her life in perpetual summer between Maine and Australia.

Praise for God Stories

My eyes filled with tears and my heart lifted as I read God Stories. Jennifer Skiff has presented us with a wide range of heavenly touches, everything from quiet hugs to stunning out-of-body experiences, and readers of all faiths will be moved. As the praise song goes, 'Our God is an awesome God!' Each page of this beautiful book attests to that.

God Stories are the stuff of life and living. Reading this book is a touching and soul penetrating experience.

Mark Victor Hansen

Simple, honest and direct, each of these stories tells of its own small miracle – rainbows do actually happen. We all have a God Story tucked away in our hearts. I do too, and so will you. I have to admit it made me cry – and I don't cry easily.
