Publisher's Description
More incredible stories of God’s intervention Some things in life have no earthly explanation. It’s just a God thing. Miracles are not reserved for the characters in the Old and New Testaments; they happen to everyday people today, all around the world. Series creators Don Jacobson and K-LOVE Radio Network (14 million listeners) have joined together once again to produce a remarkable collection of modern-day miracles. Stories include: A man who was mysteriously pulled from a broken truck as it sailed over a ravine A young boy who made a full recovery after being trapped under water for seven minutes A young girl who defied all medical prognoses and survived after her vehicle was hit by a train A mother, compelled to drive across town, who found her nine-year-old son stranded and alone at a busy intersection Experiences like these are far more common than one may realize. From more than 1,000 occurrences, these more than 50 stories were chosen for their ability to amaze, encourage, and inspire all who live each day with both faith and doubt, victory and despair. Each day, the sunrise itself is a sign of God’s miraculous hand, and these stories prove that it’s only the beginning.

“Many question if miracles really are for today. As you read account after account of these miracle stories, there is a common thread of the goodness and grace of God. Let these accounts inspire your faith to reach out and make a miracle part of your story.”
“I hear it all the time: ‘I can’t watch the news because it is too depressing,’ or ‘All they report is bad news.’ But there is good news, and my friend Don Jacobson and the folks at K-LOVE want you to know that God is still in control. It’s a God Thing, Volume 2 is an inspiring collection of love, hope, and grace stories lived out through His children. Be encouraged. God is there even when He is most difficult to see. These amazing stories will remind you of that truth.”
“It isn’t often I find myself holding my breath while reading a book, yet that’s exactly what I found myself doing again and again as I turned the pages of this book. It’s one thing to hear a moving story; it’s quite another to be moved by a story in a way that simultaneously challenges and stimulates your faith. My friend Don Jacobson accomplishes exactly that with his latest compilation.”
“We all have a God Thing story in our own lives. Sometimes seeing God’s work in others allows us to look introspectively on the miracles He’s done in us.”
“The writer of Hebrews exhorts Christians to encourage one another (Heb. 10:24–25). It’s a God Thing, Volume 2 encourages Christians with stories from the lives of everyday believers that remind us that we serve a God who loves to show up. If you’re discouraged, this is the book for you. If someone you know or love is discouraged, this is the book they need.”
“If testimony is evidence or proof of the existence of something, then recounting the greatness of God in our own stories demonstrates His faithfulness again and again. In It’s a God Thing, Volume 2 Don Jacobson and K-LOVE have assembled an electrifying collection of personal testimonies that is uplifting and ignites greater faith with each successive story. Whether you’re looking to combat doubt or fortify your faith, It’s a God Thing boldly declares the goodness of a God who goes beyond our understanding and dances with the miraculous.”
“With their new book, It’s a God Thing, I believe K-LOVE and my friend Don Jacobson will call friends of Jesus everywhere to look for His capers around the world! Do you know why God involves Himself in our lives? Because God is love and love does!”
“If there is one thing that God wants us to understand, it is total dependence on Him. Sometimes we find that we are completely wiped out and feel there is nowhere else to turn. God tells us to turn it all over to Him; it is then that He says He will take care of us. In Him is where we find true peace that passes understanding, when we trade our own understanding for our Father’s. The stories in this book demonstrate that. These true servants of God share how their lives were transformed when their understanding became the Father’s. What a blessing to be a child of the King!”
“There is so much going on around us that we never see. Life is all about perspective, and when that lines up with the hand of God, it is remarkable to witness. This book and collection of stories from my friends at K-LOVE will inspire and encourage you greatly!”
“Every day we all are faced with stress, situations we can’t control and often the fear that we really are all alone. God clearly calls us to be one body. He wants us to come together—to tell our stories—to encourage and support each other. That is what these stories do—they give us courage in times of peril and strengthen us when we feel helpless. God has not left us alone—He is with us.”
“When my work started taking me to remote communities across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, I began hearing more and more about real miracles—God’s intervention into the everyday on behalf of his people. For various reasons we in the West have forgotten how to see this evidence evidence of God’s hand on our lives—whether in big or small ways. In Don Jacobson’s It’s a God Thing, we are given the gift of a stirring collage of everyday miracles that encourage and inspire while also sensitizing us to the reality that God is still at work in incredible ways in our lives and around the world.”
“It’s a God Thing is a refreshing reminder of God’s attention to the details of our lives. In a world that is often filled with an excess of bad news, the accounts of everyday miracles point to the bigness of God and the greatness of His mercy. My only complaint is that the book ended too soon!”
“Most of us, including myself, see miracles as something only happening during biblical times. Well, my friend, since the Bible applies today more than ever, I’d say we are still in biblical times, and miracles are very much alive and well! We’ve just gotten really good at explaining away miracles, no matter how big or small. My prayer is this book opens our eyes to the miracles that happen around us and even in our own lives. For me, the timing of this book is absolutely perfect. Sometimes I’m guilty of looking so hard for God that I miss Him right in front of me. May we all be reminded through It’s a God Thing that some of the simplest moments in life can quite possibly be some of God’s greatest miracles. Because of the cross, my very next breath is a huge miracle. Thank you, Jesus!”
“There is nothing better than hearing others talk about the ways that God has intervened in their lives. Miracles happen every day all around the world. These stories are incredible.”
“Through everyday miracles discovered in the nooks and crannies of life, It’s a God Thing presents a stunning glimpse of God through the lives of people like you and me. It’s a God Thing is more than a book. It’s an invitation, an encounter, a way of life. I recommend it highly.”
“Nothing astonished people in the New Testament more than watching Jesus perform a miracle right before their eyes—and nothing inspires us today more than hearing He did it again! My good friend Don Jacobson, publisher of The Prayer of Jabez, has once again launched the perfect message for today—don’t miss it!”
“This book is an unbelievable reminder of God’s power and presence. These testimonies show how alive and active God is in our daily lives. Story upon story affirms to me that from the beginning to the end, God is with us and for us. Whether we are running out of a burning building, drowning, or need just a small whisper of encouragement, we can be confident that He will never leave us or forsake us. The ministry of K-LOVE and its listeners inspire me to be bold and courageous in sharing the love of Jesus.”
“God doesn’t need for us to be aware of the miracles He’s performing, but they’re happening every day! It’s a God Thing, a new book from K-LOVE, is a powerful vehicle to tell the story of a number of those miracles.”
