PRAISE FOR Exploring the Miraculous, by Michael O’Neill

Few if any who are writing about religion today do so with the feeling that Michael O’Neill brings to this vastest of topics. His work is grounded in fact but never disregards the spiritual, as is entirely appropriate. Reading O’Neill, one comes to understand belief and faith in the modern world. His writing informs and inspires; it is smart and steeped in understanding.

— Robert Sullivan, managing editor of LIFE books and author of Two Saints, Mary: Blessed Art Thou Among Women and Pope Francis in America.

Eighty percent of Americans report they believe in miracles. For those who do, and for those who are curious, Michael O’Neill’s Exploring the Miraculous is a “godsend”! As a Stanford-trained engineer, O’Neill delivers fascinating, scientific, data-driven material to explain the supernatural. His website miraclehunter.com is an invaluable resource for anyone wondering how to put miracles in context, and now Exploring the Miraculous goes even deeper to explain the inexplicable.

— Maureen Orth, author of “The Most Powerful Woman in the World,” National Geographic cover story about the Virgin Mary (December 2015)

With the heart of a believer and the mind of a skeptic, O’Neill’s Exploring the Miraculous is a smart, comprehensive look at the fascinating world of miracles.

— Rev. Francis J. Hoffman (Fr. Rocky), Executive Director of Relevant Radio

Should we explore the miraculous? Yes! We all need miracles, and we need the insight of the Catholic Church if we are to wholeheartedly embrace authentic miracles. In his wonderful book Exploring the Miraculous, Michael O’Neill opens up for us that safe path of Church-inspired direction!

— Fr. Peter R. Stryker, C.P.M., Rector, Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help (the first and only Church-approved Marian apparition site in the United States)

Perhaps it’s time to give miracles another look. This is precisely the outstanding opportunity provided by Michael O’Neill in this treasure chest of the legitimately supernatural. In this extraordinarily well-documented study, the author provides optimum historical, theological, medical, and scientific evidence wherever possible in defense and articulation of some of Christian history’s best occasions of God’s benevolent interference.

— Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology, Franciscan University of Steubenville
