J.P. Moreland, distinguished professor of philosophy at Biola’s Talbot School of Theology, recently released his latest book A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles: Instruction and Inspiration for Living Supernaturally in Christ.
Does God Still Do Miracles Today? A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles will give you confidence in and awareness of the supernatural realm as you learn how to flourish spiritually by experiencing more miraculous interventions in your life and ministry. Internationally renowned philosopher J. P. Moreland looks at the nature of miracles and explains why bearing and receiving credible testimony to God’s miraculous acts is a crucial feature of a mature Jesus-follower. He also shows how to distinguish a real miracle from a mere coincidence. Miracles bring comfort to believers, strengthening faith in God and creating boldness in our lives.
While miraculous healings have occurred frequently throughout church history, Moreland provides data showing how the last fifty years have seen a massive outbreak of miracles and supernatural activity. Today, he argues, the church should humbly expect to see more of these miraculous works of God than we do.
Moreland writes “Beliefs are not subject to the direct control of the will, so we cannot simply will to believe something on the spot. Thankfully, we can change our beliefs or their degree of strength indirectly. By study, meditation, risk, practice, willingness to learn from successes and failures, and in similar related ways, we can grow in faith and become more “naturally supernatural.”
J. Warner Wallace, Dateline-featured cold-case detective and author of Person of Interest and Cold-Case Christianity, states, “As a new Christian at the age of thirty-five, I struggled to see God’s involvement in the world around me. I had grown so accustomed to attributing everything to the forces of nature or the efforts of humans that I missed the obvious interaction of God. I so wish I had J. P. Moreland’s new book back then. A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles will help you recognize God’s handiwork in your own life, reenergize your prayer life, and renew your sense of awe and wonder. Don’t waste another day overlooking the miraculous, supernatural activity of God. Let J. P. show you what you may have been missing.”
A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles increases your expectation and hope that God can and often does miraculously intervene to bring help and comfort. Moreland shows that it makes rational sense to step out and engage in employing Kingdom power and to strengthen courage to witness and act on behalf of the gospel of Jesus. Filled with inspiring, credible, motivating accounts of miracles, he covers five different kinds of supernatural activities and provides practical wisdom about how to begin practices such as healing prayer and learning to deal with the demonic.
