Miracle at the Higher Grounds Café

De: Max Lucado, Candace Lee, Eric Newman

Narrado por: Ben Holland

What if you could ask God anything? What would you ask? And how would he answer?

Chelsea Chambers is on her own. After a public split from her NFL superstar husband, Chelsea takes a bold step out of the limelight and behind the counter of the Higher Grounds Café, an old-fashioned coffee shop in dire need of reinvention. But when her courage, expert planning, and out-of-this-world cupcakes fail to pay the bills, this newly single mom finds herself desperate for help. Better yet, a miracle. Then a curious stranger lands at Chelsea's door, and with him an even more curious string of events. Soon customers are flocking to the Higher Grounds Café and not just for the cupcakes and cappuccino. They've come for the internet connection to the divine. Now the café has become the go-to place for people in search of answers to life's biggest questions.

When a catastrophe strikes, and her ex comes calling, Chelsea begins to wonder if the whole universe is conspiring against her quest to make it on her own. After a shocking discovery opens her eyes to the unseen world around her, Chelsea finds the courage to ask, and heaven answers in a most unexpected way.

Compelling. insporing story of God's love, grace

Good storyline, great perspective about the reality of the spiritual battle of life in this fallen world. Inspiries me spiritually to place trust in Jesus Christ relationally, not just the New Age forces of good and positive thinking. May or Lord help us to place our treasures in Heaven and godly things rather than in the pleasure and materialism of this fallen world. Interesting characters, although a bit 2-dimensional in places. Good oral performance of the text. Stimulates the imagination, reflection, thought as all good literature must do-- by helping us to understand ourselves, others, the world around us. My wife and I laughed, teared up, talked about Truth and truths during and after the listening experience. I'll buy the book now to reread more carefully and vicariously experience the story more fully than we could do with the oral presentation.

Miracle Cafe

Very good story! Always impressed with the works of Max Lucado! Very good story! Encore! Something with Tea!!

Wonderful story

I enjoyed the book so much!! I was sad when it was over! Max Lucado is an amazing storyteller!!!

Very uplifting

My daughter and I enjoyed every minute during our commute to and from her high school daily.

Angels surround us

Guardian angel Manny, reminiscent of Clarence in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” is sent to rescue his charge and her marriage. The story is entertaining but also reveals important truths. We are surrounded by armies of unseen angels fighting our spiritual battles and vanquishing armies of invisible demons trying to destroy us. We are never alone; in our darkest hours of despair, the Lord is always with us.

A great cup of coffee!

I am a long time fan of Max Lucado’s books. I have read some of them several times. I will do the same with this one. Another encouraging book telling of God’s faithfulness and love through life’s ups and downs.

One word: hope

The most beautiful story of hope, love, human struggles with hate and helplessness, and heaven's willingness to answer our unending questions.
Wondering how you will ever make it on your own? Don't bother, you will never have to; you'll never alone

God's LOVE. Faith.

Telling a story of God's Love. It's so true that holding on to hurt and not giving it to God can fester and cause much more pain. Faith in God is so important.

Excellent!!! So uplifting and encouraging!

This is exactly what I needed to brighten my day! It's so uplifting and encouraging and relatable to everyone seeking to find answers to everything that's happening in the world now. 😍
