Synopsis

Most of the stories in this book are outside the scope of our everyday experience, many unbelievable, yet many have been validated by observers as being authentic. There are stories of weeping and mobile statues, incorruptible flesh of the dead, and spontaneous combustion of human bodies. Other stories concern ecstasy, levitation, visions, healing, and other mysterious events.The concept of miracles have been attacked by rationalist philosophers who argue that they would be a violation of the common course of nature, thus the events could not happen. Saint Augustine answered such critics by defining miracles as being events that are unknown in nature, not as something opposed to it.This book contains a collection of wondrous events that have been reported at have occurred at different times, in diverse places, and among all peoples of the world. These wonderful events may be called miracles, frauds, coincidences, or what ever you may choose.Many have been investigated and determined to have been fraud. The intent is to present the information, and to let you decide if they are real miracles or not.
