"You mean sixty-one seconds. You said sixty-one minutes, but you mean a little over one minute." "No," I said. "He didn’t have a pulse for over an hour." After a healthy pregnancy, on September 16, 2010, Bonnie L. Engstrom delivered a stillborn baby boy. After sixty-one minutes, just when the doctors were going to call a time of death, James Fulton’s heart began to beat. In that sixty-one minutes, the Engstrom’s been asking for and counting on the powerful intercession of James’s namesake: Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. That James was alive at all was a miracle. But the rest of the story is even more amazing. While the Engstroms were preparing for their little boy to grow up blind, unable to walk or talk, and be fed by a tube for the rest of his life, another miracle occurred. Against all medical odds, James not only survived, but he began — and continues — to thrive. In 2014, medical experts and theological advisors to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints unanimously approved the miracle. This amazing true story, full of weakness and strength, heartbreak and celebration, hope and joy, teaches us that through our faith in Christ and the prayers of the great cloud of witnesses, miracles are possible. "Believe the incredible, and you can do the impossible." – Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Book publishers claim that 90 percent of the books purchased are purchased by less than three percent of the people. What does that mean? It means that you-if you purchased this book or if you received this as a gift-are either in the top three percent, or thinking about getting there. The greatest material gift anyone can give themselves, or anyone else, is a life-enhancing book. The wisest thoughts ever thought, the most powerful ways to deal with problems, and the universal truths enabling peace of mind appear in print. It is not the words that make a difference, but the meaning behind the words. If you are searching for more practical meanings, this book is filled with new views. This book began as 52 scripts for Dick Warn's The Miracle Minute radio spots that Bob Ridzak and Bill Georgi tested on the air in 2004 and 2005. (Clear Channel Radio Stations-Riverside, California.) Each Miracle Minute can be read in less than 60 seconds and each should be followed by thoughts and questions like: What did Dick Warn mean? What does this mean to me? And what, if anything, should I, or we, do differently? In the game of life, continual change is the name of the game because we are either growing or dying. I've done both and growing is better. Will every Miracle Minute be a perfect fit for you? Hardly! Some will miss the mark, others will spark awesome thought and a few will alter your life forever. One old truth, newly understood, is worth far more than the price of any book. Having spent most of my life trying to help others gain valuable insights, I have discovered that simple thought pieces like The Miracle Minute work much better than talking heads and video. And, in training sessions, The Miracle Minutes allow training facilitators to be highly effective, without preparation. First, a training facilitator has each participant read the same Miracle Minute before they come to the meeting. Then, during a meeting, the facilitator draws the best out of others. Through a process of reading, thinking about what they read, brainstorming and sharing information, the participants become their own teachers-learning far more than they would in any other way. The hardest part for facilitators is to remain silent and encourage participants to speak. Whether we like it or not, we are all riding together on Space Ship Earth. There are not two planet Earths. Nor is there any way to change planets. The very best we can do is build a better world from the inside out. And we can, if we are willing, be a miracle worker in the lives of others. When we help someone-including ourselves-to see deep-seated beliefs in brand new light, miracles do occur. Our thinker is our Creator. When time allows, get comfortable, throw on your thinking cap, and dive in to Miracle Minute One. Discover for yourself what these 52 Miracle Minutes can do for you and others with whom you share your world. Miracles occur the instant light breaks through and we gain a new view. What readers are saying: "I was a creature of comfort; I had been with the same company for 14 years. It 'felt safe.' When approached by another company, I didn't know what to do and Dick Warn asked: 'What are you afraid of-failure?' He hit the nail on the head. I was afraid. But that was then and now is now. As a result of Dick's practical wisdom, I have learned to step outside of my comfort zone. I have been inspired to excel as an employee, wife, mother, mentor and friend. Dick Warn occupies a very special place in my heart." Antoinette (Toni) Price Nestle Waters North America Inc. The book is new, yet Miracle Minutes (in the current form) have been going out weekly to over 300 people directly for over two years. This weekly process - in slightly different form - began two weeks before 9/11. As a result of those original emails, two radio stations in Southern California are broadcasting

Bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver returns with her first nonfiction narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat. "As the U.S. population made an unprecedented mad dash for the Sun Belt, one carload of us paddled against the tide, heading for the Promised Land where water falls from the sky and green stuff grows all around. We were about to begin the adventure of realigning our lives with our food chain. "Naturally, our first stop was to buy junk food and fossil fuel. . . ." Hang on for the ride: With characteristic poetry and pluck, Barbara Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries about turkey sex life and overly zealous zucchini plants, en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet. "This is the story of a year in which we made every attempt to feed ourselves animals and vegetables whose provenance we really knew . . . and of how our family was changed by our first year of deliberately eating food produced from the same place where we worked, went to school, loved our neighbors, drank the water, and breathed the air." Includes an excerpt from Flight Behavior.

Once upon a time, but not so very long ago, a little boy lived in the middle of a town in the middle of the Middle West. The boy was named Peter John Sheen, but everyone called him Fulton. And poor Fulton had no idea that as summer came to an end he was about to begin a VERY BAD WEEK. Fulton Sheen and the Very Bad Week is the retelling of true stories from Venerable Fulton J. Sheen's childhood. With beautiful illustrations and relatable storytelling, young readers will identify with and feel for Fulton as he encounters tough situations and makes mistakes throughout his very bad week. And, like Fulton, they will be reminded that Jesus loves them no matter what. Written by the mother of Archbishop Sheen's "Miracle Baby," Fulton Sheen and the Very Bad Week is a great way to introduce children, classrooms, and families to America's Bishop.

The Impossible reveals prayer's immediate and powerful impact through the true account of a family whose son died and was miraculously resurrected. Through the years and the struggles, when life seemed more about hurt and loss than hope and mercy, God was positioning the Smiths for something extraordinary-the death and resurrection of their son. When Joyce Smith's fourteen-year-old son John fell through an icy Missouri lake one winter morning, she and her family had seemingly lost everything. At the hospital, John lay lifeless for more than sixty minutes. But Joyce was not ready to give up on her son. She mustered all her faith and strength into one force and cried out to God in a loud voice to save him. Miraculously, her son's heart immediately started beating again. In the coming days, John would defy every expert, every case history, and every scientific prediction. Sixteen days after falling through the ice and being clinically dead for an hour, he walked out of the hospital under his own power, completely healed. The Impossible is about a profound truth: prayer really does work. God uses it to remind us that He is always with us, and when we combine it with unshakable faith, nothing is impossible.
