Summary: Chicken Soup with some Jewish content!
Review: What I liked best about this book -- and what, for me, sets it apart from so many similar inspirational works -- is that it includes some stories with openly Jewish content. Not that miracle stories really have "denominations" per se, but for some reason, the stories about Jews having these types of experiences never seem to make it into collections for the general public without being "universalized" into generic pablum. The result is that the public -- Jews and gentiles alike -- get the mistaken impression that miracles never happen to modern-day Jews. Not so with "Small Miracles." The authors have unabashedly included several anecdotes about Jews experiencing miraculous "coincidences," the same as their Christian neighbors. My favorite is the one about the rabbi and nine followers whose plane "just happened" to need refueling in a small village where the lone resident Jew needed a minyan (prayer quorum) to say kaddish (prayer for the dead) for his father. The father's spirit, it turns out, had appeared to his son in a dream the previous night and promised that, if the non-religious son would say kaddish, then he, the father, would provide the minyan! The Yiddish word for these types of miraculous coincidences is "bashert," which, roughly translated, means "it was meant to be" or "it was guided by Heaven." For everyone who reads this book, these "bashert" stories will surely warm the heart and soul. Highly recommended!

Summary: A wonderful book.
Review: A wonderful book and an easy read.
Any of the vingettes in this book, taken singularly, might be written-off as merely coincidental. Taken as a whole, you realize that there are no coincidences. The stories here are truly inspiring. A very fun book.

Summary: Incredible book but some important comments nonetheless
Review: As a person who shakes her head daily at the state of thissorry world we live in---I was definitely moved and struck by thisbook. Anyone who doesnt believe that many strange unexplainable things go on, will be convinced by this book. Whether the things in this book happenned because of the fact that (some say) we are in one world with a universal spirit where we are all attached---or whatever---these things do happen. Reading this book and also "Only Love is Real" by Brian Weiss blew me away. You just sit there speechless and with great emotion. Take it from one who is cynical---and from one who thinks our world is and has been badly broken for eons and probably will never work, they are both definitely worth the read and will give the reader a warm feeling. Much luck and health to everyone.

Summary: Now we'll see!!!
Review: I found the book in my apartment. How it came to my possession, I don't know. Maybe a visitor forgot it there. Read it from cover to cover in two sittings, even though I should have been doing something else. I just couldn't put it down. A few of very interesting "miracles" happened even to me, but it has been a while. I need one now. Therefore, I'd like to put the book to test. There's, on page 134, a story, where Susie Henderson's therapist tells her: "Ask the Universe for whatever it was she TRULY wanted, and to be very specific...." Well, here is my case, and I am being most specific.... I wrote a fantastic story about an American (bald) eagle named Elvis, born in captivity. After it was published, plenty of people read it and liked it a lot. They wrote me about it - but it got nowhere. This story would make a magnificent animated movie. Now, the CEO of Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, has MY LAST COPY in his possession. I want him to notice my book, read it, enjoy it and turn it into a very successful animated (musical) movie. Well, we'll see if this qualifies as a "small" miracle, too.

Summary: BUY THIS BOOK FOR ALL-OCCASION GIFTS
Review: I hate sappy books. Trust me, this was NOT one of them. The beautiful, simple true stories amused, amazed, and brought a tear to these jaundiced eyes.
What a lovely surprise!

Summary: A Joy To Read
Review: I really enjoyed the book! Every different story made me smile and think of things that happen to me everyday, if there were small miracles for me as well. I felt a little bit happier with the world today after reading the book, because it made me think that maybe there are good things that happen in society today that just may outweigh the bad. I recommend it to anyone who feels down about today's society and I can guarantee that it will make you have a much better outlook on the world.
