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.

About the author:More than 120 million readers have found comfort in the writings ofMax Lucado. He ministers at the Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, where he lives with his wife, Denalyn, and a sweet but misbehaving mutt, Andy.
My Take: I enjoyed this book which mixes great story telling with the realities of other realms that influence our lives. I felt for Chelsea and what her husband did. I also felt for her after she inherited her mother's cafe and found out that she had a considerable debt that was owed. And the children , who can't feel for the children who find themselves in this position through no fault of their own but because of the poor choices of their parent or parents. The power of prayer is emphasized throughout the book especially when the God Blog is discovered. Manny is more than meets the eye and turns out to be a true guardian angel. Great book that helps one think about what is happening in other realms.
I received a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest opinion.
