My Publisher (Crossbooks Publishing Company, a Division of LifeWay) felt the small size of "9 Miracles" is a plus - just right for the coffee table or a night stand. Perfect size for a trip as it fits nicely into your bag or brief case.
In fact, they once commented, "Are you feeling a little lost or blue today? Got 5 minutes? Pick it up - read ANY chapter - - - and be instantly lifted!"
I've had people tell me at book signings, "I don't normally read books but THAT'S a book even I'LL read!" whereas a 200 - 300 page book they would get bogged down in and never finish.
I hope being "small" does not deter someone from deciding whether to read it or not, and chance missing the opportunity to glean the true message of the book - that God is never far away from us, that He DOES care for us, even in the small details of our life. That He is NEVER too busy and we are truly "held" as we face our difficulties in life. HE provides the strength we need to face it.
It's a wonderful reminder of all these things. I was merely a character in the plan.
