Max Lucado's 'Miracle At The Higher Grounds Cafe' is a novel about love, forgiveness and a coffee shop where lives are healed and transformed.
By turns heart breaking and joyous, this heavenly novel is a wonderfully compact story. You can enjoy the whole book in a few relaxing sittings and be ready to read it through all over again.
With his usual lightness of touch, Max Lucado does not preach his story. Rather he shows you the beauty of faith and forgiveness and lets it light up the corners of your daily life. This is far more than just a good story, it's filled with moments that can impact, transform and encourage us in Max's trademark way.
Miracle At The Higher Grounds Cafe has all of the charm of Max's first novel, 'The Christmas Candle'. The underlying plot follows single mum, Chelsea Chambers who is recently separated from her US football playing husband; a man who preferred to play away rather than play at home.
Back in her hometown with her two children, the reduced family decide to reopen Chelsea's deceased mother's former business; an old-fashioned coffee shop in dire need of reinvention.
When Chelsea's courage, expert planning and out-of-this-world cupcakes fail to pay the bills, Chelsea finds herself desperate for help or, even better, a miracle.
After a shocking discovery opens her eyes to the unseen world around her, Chelsea finds the courage to ask for her miracle and heaven answers in a most unexpected way.
Now, with the coffee shop a popular destination for anyone looking for comfort, guidance and healing, the big question is: who is it that mysteriously answers the questions posted on the cafe's 'God Blog' website pages?
