"We appreciated their approach which shows some miracles but also explores when the requested miracle is not granted or is not granted in the time or way we ask. Very few, if any programs, handle that aspect," noted Curtis.
Dr. Craig Keener, professor at Asbury Theological Seminary and award-winning author, called About Miracles "inspirational and encouraging..."
