Christmas Miracles from around the World Patti Chiappa

I wanted to write a book that could be enjoyed throughout the year not just at Christmas time. This book idea was born in the middle of a hot summer's day in Florida. I was watching the news when I heard about another Terrorist attack in my own back yard. Not only was I shocked and saddened by this latest attack on the Pulse Nightclub, but it made me want to reach out and hug the World. This book is my lame attempt to do just that. I am in love with human kind. Deeply in love. It hurts me that my fellow man has to act like animals sometimes. I want this book to remind every single one of you reading it that we can all be lights of Peace. It just takes small acts of kindness to change the World. We can all do it. Make this World, a Heaven, all we have to do is try. Smile at a stranger. Reach out to someone who is lonely or hurting. Adopt an older person. Feed someone a feast with a slice of bread and an understanding ear. Make someone rich with the gift of a loving heart. Be a friend to someone that has none. Be a voice for someone that has lost theirs. Be sight for someone who can't seem to find their way home. Be an answer to someone's prayer! Let the amazing stories in this book remind us how to love. Read about the Christmas cookies that changed a man's life druing the Great Depression, be inspired as you read about a Pope's healing kiss, be brought to tears as you learn about how a stolen dog found his way home, read about a mother's love for a child.
