What Happens When The Unexplainable Intersects The Undeniable? In his new book, Anything Is Possible, written along with Charles Martin, Joby Martin examines nine miracles of Jesus in an attempt to show us how each one teaches us something unique about how God wants to relate to us. The realization that God still does miracles today, and that believers have access to that same incredible power that raised Jesus from the dead, should serve as an encouragement to readers. Although we may come to understand that miracles surround us everyday, the ultimate goal that the authors are attempting to achieve, is to remind us not to seek miracles themselves, but rather to seek the one who performs them.
The book comes in at 267 pages containing 9 chapters and an epilogue. The book for me did not hit the spot. The chapters are too long in my opiniion, and quite frankly I found them to be mostly boring. How can reading about miracles be considered boring? Well, I 'll leave that question open for you to answer. I've seen some words such as, insightful, expectant, illuminating, and inspirational to describe this book, but it did not do it for me. I could not read more than one chapter in a sitting, and sometimes that was too much. There is some good content hidden within the pages, but I really cannot remember it with clarity. While I cannot recommend the book, I will not go as far as to tell you not to pick one up.
