Since the beginning of time and throughout all history, people have inspired and upheld one another by sharing their stories of faith, in times of trial and in times of joy.

("Miracle Soup") -Connie, whose sister's patience wears thin over prayers to St. Anthony to find a lost wallet. ("Just Pray to St. Anthony") -Martha, whose sister Jacki says God always provides for her needs, who then calls and asks, "Guess what?"

("A Picture in a Prayer") -Beth, with a Stage IV diagnosis, who returns to her doctor after a holy oil anointing.

Deepen your faith. Take God's hand as He guides you on your journey of hope.
Autorenporträt
LeAnn Thieman is a nationally acclaimed professional speaker, author, and nurse who was "accidentally" caught up in the Vietnam Orphan Airlift in 1975. Her book, This Must Be My Brother, details her daring adventure of helping to rescue 300 babies as Saigon was falling to the communists. An ordinary person, she struggled through extraordinary circumstances and found the courage to succeed. After her Operation Babylift story was featured in Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul, LeAnn became one of Chicken Soup's most prolific writers. Her devotion to nursing for more than 30 years made her the ideal co-author of the New York Times best-seller, Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul and Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul: Second Dose, then the third edition, Inspiration for Nurses. She has coauthored 11 additional Chicken Soup titles for Christian Women, Caregivers, Father and Daughter, Grandmas, Mother and Son, Christia
