Publisher Description
Do we believe that God still does miracles? Considering how difficult it is for many of us adults to trust in the miraculous power of God, how much more difficult can it be for a young person in the midst of struggles about identity and purpose in life?
With the help of his son Parker, bestselling author Mark Batterson now brings the exciting message of a God who longs to do miracles in our lives to a teen audience. Together they show young readers that God is intimately involved in their lives and wants them to experience the miraculous. With poignant examples from the lives of real teens, The Grave Robber, Student Edition brings to life not only the seven miracles from John's Gospel but the countless miracles we witness every day--if only we have eyes to see.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Miracles are happening all around us all the time, but you won't see them if you don't know how to look for them," writes Batterson (The Circle Maker), lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., in his book that examines the seven miracles of Jesus as presented in the Gospel of John and also assures readers that miracles continue to happen every day. Whether turning water into wine, bringing the dead back to life, restoring sight to the blind, calming the waters during a storm, or multiplying fishes and loaves to feed a hungry crowd, Jesus demonstrated the power given him by God. God still reveals his power today through modern-day miracles, Batterson argues, offering numerous examples of such miracles. From the story of a pastor friend who escaped death by making it to a neighbor's house without losing any blood after being stabbed repeatedly to the healing of a little boy with an aggressive malignant growth in his middle ear that disappeared minutes before surgeons planned to remove it, the author supplies evidence for his assertion that "it's not over till God says it's over." People who seek assurance and hope that miracles can and do happen or those who simply enjoy reading about miracles past and present will find inspiration in this conversationally written study.
