"Prayer has the power to heal even when it doesn't cure," says Chaplain Norris Burkes in his new book, No Small Miracles: Heartwarming, Humorous & Hopefilled Stories from a Pediatric Chaplain. The tender and true stories that fill the pages provide evidence of this truth and challenge readers to redefine our concept of miracles so we might be alert to discover them in our own lives. The stories show God's divine presence and miraculous healing, even when He chooses not to cure.
No Small Miracles is broken into five parts which include stories from the pediatric unit and other hospital departments, Chaplain Norris' military service and family life. The stories are creatively written in the comfortable style and familiar voice of an award-winning columnist.
Chaplain Norris' writing is heart-tugging and sensitively spiritual yet it reflects joy, hope and even humor in the midst of the life-and-death experiences he faces daily in his roles as both a hospital and military chaplain. No Small Miracles is a welcome message to the heart of anyone who has ever asked, "Where was God..."

about 15 years ago me ,my mom and my toddler nephew were driving into town.A few blocks from the hospital a young boy,age 8 found out while there,was riding his bike.All at once he headed toward the highway and the truck in front of me hit him at about 40 mph...
I saw the boy fly up into the air and quickly stopped the car getting out and running toward him.He landed about 30 foot in front of where the truck stopped.His body was contorted all around.I worked at a nursing home and was a vet assistant part time and i knew all vital signs ,first aid etc...There was no helping this young man,I knew he was broken all over and there wa absoulutely no vitals.
This would take a while to tell story so i am condensing...There was 11 people who saw this as well...
His dad and sissy was setting beside him and i was on the other side.I knew all could be done was a miracle and honestly did not expect a miracle.I told his little sister to pray and not cry so she would not scare him if he could hear her and me and his dad just exchanged a very solemn stare for a few moments..he knew too....
i had my hand on his chest and in a matter of 30 seconds maybe he made a tiny sound.His body started slowly moving and twisting.it was like looking thru a very dirty glass seeing this! and wavy...I heard something and looked up and saw a little lady p[acing back and forth behind his dad and praying in tongues very quietly...
By the time the ambulanc got there 5 minutes later,his body looked completely normal with the exception of blood clotted at his eyes,ears and nose!The emergency guy asked how long he had been alert and i said 20 sec..i could not even say he had had no vitals and that i watched his leg come out from under his back and watched his arm bend back from under his neck upside down ...his dad knew...
I found out the next day what hosp. he was in and that he was still alive.I called and got his dad on the phone to inquire about his condition.When his dad realized who i was he said..I want to thank you for fixing my boy....I said it was not me..He said i thought u were a nurse and knew what to do with his body and that was what had happened!!!
Immediatly following that statement he said there were no broken bones and he only had a few scratches....he wa sout 2 days later!
That day i watched a miracle happen.That little boy was dead.i knew he was.Mo one DID ANYTHING!
nothing but PRAYER....
oh and by the way...no one saw the little lady praying but me
true story from opp al.

I have not experienced nor do I know anyone who has. My son is my miracle as I was told 8 years before he was born that I couldn't have children and I had a high risk pregnancy when I finally did have him.
