61 MINUTES TO A MIRACLE Fulton Sheen and a True Story of the Impossible by BONNIE L. ENGSTROM

Description

After a healthy pregnancy, on September 16, 2010, Bonnie Engstrom delivered a still born baby boy. After sixty-one minutes, just when the doctors were going to call a time of death, James Fulton’s heart began to beat. In the sixty-one minutes, the Engstroms began asking for and counting on the powerful intercession of James namesake: Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. That James was alive at all was a miracle. But the rest of the story is even more amazing. While the Engstroms were preparing for James to grow up blind, unable to walk, talk or feed himself, another miracle occurred. Against all odds, James not only survived but thrived. In 2014, medical experts and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints unanimously approved the miracle. This amazing true story, full of weakness and strength, heartbreak and celebration, hope and joy, teaches us that through our faith in Christ and the prayers of the great cloud of witnesses, miracles are possible.
