About the Book
Jaime Halasz is fighting for a bright future after a tragic past when she’s assigned the story of her career: uncover the source of the miracles breaking out all over Atlanta, GA.
As the seemingly supernatural events pile up, she’s skeptical. But when she witnesses the miraculous events herself, she’s thrust into the center of the story that will make or break everything she’s been working for.
What will it take to believe in these miracles and the man behind them? And even if Jaime can trust him, what happens to her story—and his future—when some believers turn their backs?
Miracles asks us to consider what it would look like in a world of smart phone videos and 24/7 media if the unbelievable became undeniable.

Leaders in each generation face several challenges that are quite different from those that confronted leaders in earlier generations and are also quite different from those that leaders in future generations will encounter. It was ever thus and always will be true. That is one of several reasons why I think so highly of this book.
– Robert Morris, San Francisco Review of Books
As well as ‘passion’, what all of these contributors share is an idealism and hope that, though slightly grating at moments, is on the whole infectious and makes Passion & Purpose an upbeat, enjoyable read – as well as a useful one.
