Some of life's most important questions in life arise in hospital emergency rooms and military posts - places where Chaplain Norris Burkes spends his days counseling people.

In this tender book, he brings us the most heartwarmingly human and courageous stories of some of those seekers, and tells them as only an award-winning writer can. If you've ever wondered whether faith makes a difference in the worst times; whether God is real; or how humor can find its way even into life's battlefields . . . this inspirational book will show you. It will convince you that every day - every circumstance - really does hold its share of hope, healing and miracles . . . if we know what to look for.

A wonderful collection of stories from a hospital and military chaplain. Burkes is one of my favorite columnists, and reading this book was like settling down with the weekend paper. Recommended.

Heart tugs all the way through

I bought this book several months ago when the author spoke at my church. He was an excellent speaker...very down to earth, with humor and heart.

I started reading this book around Christmastime and just finished it. It was split into many bit-size stories, perfect for sampling one at a time. I appreciated the author's writing style. It was very down-to-earth and not preachy. He had a good balance of humor and hope along with the heartbreaking experiences he encountered.

This book came at a good time for me, when several friends have tragically lost loved ones. This book provided good inspiration for living in a world where life regularly takes sudden and unexpected turns.

As a Christian, I found a lot in this book that I could relate to. But, because of the author's approach, I believe this book can speak to a much wider audience (not just Christians).
