About the book: 

Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe (Thomas Nelson, February 2015)

What if you could ask God anything? What would you ask? And how would he answer?

Chelsea Chambers is on her own. After a public split from her NFL superstar husband, Chelsea takes a bold step out of the limelight and behind the counter of the Higher Grounds Café, an old-fashioned coffee shop in dire need of reinvention. But when her courage, expert planning, and out-of-this-world cupcakes fail to pay the bills, this newly single mom finds herself desperate for help. Better yet, a miracle.

Then a curious stranger lands at Chelsea’s door, and with him, an even more curious string of events. Soon, customers are flocking to the Higher Grounds Café, and not just for the cupcakes and cappuccino. They’ve come for the internet connection to the divine. Now the café has become the go-to place for people in search of answers to life’s biggest questions.

When a catastrophe strikes and her ex comes calling, Chelsea begins to wonder if the whole universe is conspiring against her quest to make it on her own. After a shocking discovery opens her eyes to the unseen world around her, Chelsea finds the courage to ask, and heaven answers in a most unexpected way.

My thoughts on Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe:

 

Okay so I love coffee.  The fact that this takes place in and around a Cafe with coffee made it a must read.  Well and the fact that it was written by Max Lucado.  We love Max Lucado around our house.  I fell in love with the book and the characters and found myself seeing myself in a lot of this.  I mean, how often does someone else see something that we’re too busy or too worries or too stressed or too whatever to notice about our own selves and our own life.  Chelsea is like that.  She’s not “seeing” what is really going on around her.  It takes a wake up call before she can see what she truly has to be thankful for and realize just how much God really is looking out for her.

 

Great book.  Go grab a cup of coffee and a copy of the book and settle in for a great read.  Oh and maybe make sure someone else is watching the kids so you can have some uninterrupted reading and hot coffee time.  I don’t know about you, but I hate to stop reading when I’m really enjoying a book.  I also hate cold coffee.
