Publisher's summary

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.

“Max Lucado’s remarkable gift of storytelling brings the pages to life in his novel Miracle at the Higher Grounds Café. This highly relatable story of working through heartache and standing firm on your faith is intertwined with a good dose of humor and overflowing with biblical truth. This message will stay with you long after you’ve read the last page.” (Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times best-selling author of The Best Yes and It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way)

“Step inside the Higher Grounds Café, a place brimming with whop, a heaping helping of comfort food, and a direct line to heaven. Where faith lives, all things are possible, for a family, a community, and one woman who wasn’t sure she had the courage to believe again.” (Lisa Wingate, New York Times best-selling author of Before We Were Yours)

“Now, here is the in-depth breakdown on why YOU will love it: First of all, Max Lucado is the best. Of course, angels, miracles and neighborhood cafés are also at the top of the list. Most of us love stories and according to statistics, 54% of us actually love coffee. So, there! Read Miracle at the Higher Grounds Café immediately. It’s a story by Max Lucado about an angel and the miracle performed for some folks (who drink coffee) in a cool neighborhood café. Can a book even get any better than this? I don’t think so.” (Andy Andrews, New York Times best-selling author of The Noticer and The Traveler’s Gift full-length inspirational novel)

Compelling. insporing story of God's love, grace

Good storyline, great perspective about the reality of the spiritual battle of life in this fallen world. Inspiries me spiritually to place trust in Jesus Christ relationally, not just the New Age forces of good and positive thinking. May or Lord help us to place our treasures in Heaven and godly things rather than in the pleasure and materialism of this fallen world. Interesting characters, although a bit 2-dimensional in places. Good oral performance of the text. Stimulates the imagination, reflection, thought as all good literature must do-- by helping us to understand ourselves, others, the world around us. My wife and I laughed, teared up, talked about Truth and truths during and after the listening experience. I'll buy the book now to reread more carefully and vicariously experience the story more fully than we could do with the oral presentation.

Angels surround us

Guardian angel Manny, reminiscent of Clarence in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” is sent to rescue his charge and her marriage. The story is entertaining but also reveals important truths. We are surrounded by armies of unseen angels fighting our spiritual battles and vanquishing armies of invisible demons trying to destroy us. We are never alone; in our darkest hours of despair, the Lord is always with us.

A great cup of coffee!

I am a long time fan of Max Lucado’s books. I have read some of them several times. I will do the same with this one. Another encouraging book telling of God’s faithfulness and love through life’s ups and downs.

One word: hope

The most beautiful story of hope, love, human struggles with hate and helplessness, and heaven's willingness to answer our unending questions.
Wondering how you will ever make it on your own? Don't bother, you will never have to; you'll never alone

God's LOVE. Faith.

Telling a story of God's Love. It's so true that holding on to hurt and not giving it to God can fester and cause much more pain. Faith in God is so important.
