A collection of true, inspirational stories that are "popcorn-sized" reminders of how God cares about every aspect of your life.
Excerpt
The Key
Under crystalline blue skies, my wife, Gail, and I basked in the tranquility of St. John, US Virgin Islands. The warm, azure waters washed our feet as we waded through the gentle waves. The unhurried pace and friendly banter with the locals were a welcomed respite from our hectic Californian lives.
We drank in the spectacular vistas of Cruz Bay and the Caribbean from the veranda of our rented condo perched atop a steep hill. The balmy onshore breeze and melodic cadence of steel drums wafted in, making our stress float away. What a relaxing spot! Everything was perfect until . . .
One evening, we strolled down to the swimming pool, the perfect vantage point to view the glistening harbor lights on one side and the shimmering moonlit sea on the other. Periodic boat horns droned in the distance. After we sauntered back to our unit, I fished through my belt pouch and pockets for the key, but I couldn't find it. All week I had used extreme caution putting the key back into my pouch. I peered through the kitchen window and saw the key sitting on the counter. "OH, NO! There's no night manager. How will we get in?"

Bob and Gail tell delightful tales of experiencing extraordinary interventions in the midst of the ordinary sort of life you and I live. Each story gives simple testimony to an astounding aspect of the relationship God offers each of us; you might call it the nearness of God.
Contrary to what you might imagine, He is not a God who remains far off, aloof from our daily quandaries; rather, time and again, He reveals Himself as a very present help-giver, a sustainer and guide, an encouraging, watchful, safe counselor.
These accounts provide a remarkable vantage point from which anyone can glimpse the incredible immediacy of God—right here and now. Those of us who have walked with God on a daily path like theirs will find the stories delightfully familiar and can often guess how the Lord is going to intervene. If you are still considering what your life will be like if you offer it to Jesus, these accounts will give you a fast-forward viewing.
Popcorn Miracles® has a tender intimacy that lingers from page to page, as though written on paper scented with closeness and affection. In part, that tenderness comes from the welcomed simplicity of what they relate—testimonies stripped of all theological jargon and hype. Mostly, however, the intimacy that permeates all of what they tell us has its source in the One about whom they write. His Name is Jesus, and He wants to walk with you, too, all the days of your life.

It's like eating popcorn--you smile, enjoy it and share it with others. You've just got to love Bob and Gail for their in-the-moment trust in God and the gifts of everyday miracles. As you read the stories, you are drawn to the life that God intended, and hear His voice of invitation. Come and experience a daily walk with the Savior.

This book is filled with great and true illustrations of just how important we are to our Father. It's as if God took His finger and painted His love on the hearts of Bob and Gail so that they could translate that love onto the canvas of our souls in this amazing journey.”
