Which of us...has not dreamed of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical, without rhyme...supple...rugged...?--Baudelaire

Twin brothers David and Jason Benham grew up with big dreams of baseball and an even bigger trust in God. Though they attended a small high school with no baseball field, turned down a professional offer so they could attend college together, and faced more than one missed pitch and injuries, they kept dreaming, praying together on the field, and believing in God’s provision for their lives. David and Jason’s journey, from Little League to college to professional baseball and beyond, reminds us that even when we don’t know what God is up to, He’s putting together the pieces of our life’s puzzle and executing the plans He has for each of us. Miracle in Shreveport tells the story of a family’s love, the power of prayer, and a game that is truly all-American. It is also the story of brotherhood staying strong, despite the threat of comparison in a profession committed to competition. Most of all, it is the story of being faithful in small steps, honoring God in the process, and trusting His hand in our lives. In this book, the Benhams call us to remember that when we follow God’s dream for us, we find it is better than we could have ever dreamed for ourselves.

How could a horse born and bred on a disused allotment by a rag-tag syndicate of twenty-odd members become the world famous subject of awards' winning documentary, Dark Horse and the star of a major, international film, Dream Horse? It beggars belief, but it happened and it happened for as little as ten pounds, per week contributed by each member. What started out as, "a bit of a fun to breed a horse to get on a racecourse" developed into literally the ride of a lifetime. Dream Alliance - Miracle Racehorse, is an insightful, honest and humorous account told by the author (played in Dream Horse by Golden Globe/Primetime Emmy winning, Damian Lewis OBE) who managed the syndicate from its conception through to its dissolution in 2012. From the depths of despair as the horse's life hung by a thread to the peak of elation as he recovered to take on the best horses in the country these actual events gave rise to one of the best underdog (sorry, horse) stories ever.

Heartwarming and Heart-Opening Stories Gathered from Decades of Medical Practice Bernie Siegel first wrote about miracles when he was a practicing surgeon and founded Exceptional Cancer Patients, a groundbreaking synthesis of group, individual, dream, and art therapy that provided patients with a “carefrontation.” Compiled during his more than thirty years of practice, speaking, and teaching, the stories in these pages are riveting, warm, and belief expanding.
