Max Lucado brings us another great read in his heavenly
novel, Miracle at the Higher Grounds Café,
which combines human dilemma with angelic warfare.
When Chelsea Chambers learns her NFL famous husband has
cheated on her, she decides she’s done and needs to take her two children and
find a new life. Since her mother had recently passed on and left her with the
responsibility of a cozy café in San Antonio, she decides this is a good place
to start.
Eager to revamp the Higher Grounds Café and draw customers
with her delicious cupcakes, she is quickly set back by more bad news: Her
mother had failed to keep up with the taxes leaving Chelsea with a humongous
debt to the IRS. And with the upbeat Cosmic Café in firm competition with its
free Internet and great coffee, Chelsea’s cupcakes just don’t cut it. She needs
something else. An attraction to draw clients, a lure, a miracle no less!
While Chelsea remains indifferent to God, her patrons
apparently are not. When an Internet system is installed in the Higher Grounds
Café, it brings free access to a mysterious God-blog with it. People are able
to log in and ask God one question. And He answers with precision and
understanding that defies explanation.
At the same time, a convivial, almost childlike character,
Manny, joins Chelsea’s team in the café. Manny proves himself to be a real
God-send in more ways than one.
With human dilemmas to boot and angelic warfare in the
background, Miracle at the Higher Grounds
Café flaunts Max Lucado’s incredible imagination coupled with a strong biblical
base.
Miracle at the Higher
Grounds Café is a sweet story (no pun intended)!
