Want to live your dreams–or even surpass them? Want the world to change for the better? Want to see a miracle? What are we waiting for? Why not be the miracle?
That’s the challenge Regina Brett sets forth in BE THE MIRACLE. To be a miracle doesn’t necessarily mean tackling problems across the globe. It means making a difference, believing change is possible, even in your own living room, cubicle, neighborhood, or family.
Through a collection of inspirational essays, Regina shares lessons that will help people make a difference in the world around them. The lessons come from Regina’s life experience and from the lives of others, especially those she has met in her 24 years as a journalist. Each chapter is a lesson that can stand alone, but together they form a handbook for seeing the miracle of change everywhere.
With upbeat lessons from “Do Your Best and Forget the Rest” to “Sometimes It’s Enough to Make One Person Happy,” these lessons will help you accept and embrace yourself, challenge and change yourself, and better serve others.
Hard to put down I purchased this book and Regina Brett’s previous one, God Never Blinks. These two books have helped me so much after going through a bitter divorce. Her life lessons are each only a few pages long, and yet they reveal so much wisdom, insight, courage, and wit. These two books are never far from me–when a depressing moment comes up, all I have to do is refresh myself and thumb through either book. Sometimes, even just reading the header of each life lesson helps.Very highly recommended. I look forward to your third volume, Regina!
Full of Inspiration I also stumbled onto this book by accident. It was a “sizzler” at my local library, and sounded interesting, so I picked it up. I’m only halfway through, but have LOVED reading it. Brett teaches important life lessons through personal experiences (which sends them “home” but doesn’t feel preachy). Her “lessons” have truly helped change the way I look at my life and what I am capable of, and has generated a greater faith in humanity for me as a whole. I would recommend this book to absolutely everyone.
Please spend time with this book of miracles [RECOMMENDED] I bumped into Be the Miracle by accident. Intrigued by the great reviews of Regina Brett’s other books, I decided to try it. And I’m glad I did. Like most general interest inspirational/advice books, you’re not exactly going to learn something you didn’t-on some level-already know. But as a journalist who traffics in human drama and a gifted storyteller, you’ll hear life’s lessons in a way that can touch you so you do know it a little better.Take, for example, the book’s opening lesson: Start Where You Are. We’re immediately greeted with a great quote: “There’s an old saying, `if you think you’re too small to make a difference, think of a mosquito in a tent.'” She then goes on to relate how a clerk at a convenience store recognized a kidnapper and saved a little girl’s life. Of course summarizing it like that sounds so hum drum, but not when in Brett’s hands or I should say keyboard. She makes the story come alive, making the reading and lesson go down like candy…
