The 5 Minute Miracle - Standing Out by Becoming Outstanding by Ed Delph

Stories That Demonstrate Authentic Christianity

Ed Delph’s “The 5 Minute Miracle” is filled with real life stories which demonstrate authentic, genuine Christianity and validate the power of God’s Word in everyday life experiences.

The stories in this book are a compiled from articles taken from “The Church-Community Connection” Ed’s newspaper columns published earlier in the Glendale Star and the Peoria Times. Each of the chapters is from one of Ed’s columns and includes a story with an application the reader can apply in their own personal spiritual journey.

There are inspirational stories on meeting adversity. They reflect wisdom for helping the reader work through times of crisis. Many provide practical reminders: such as the difference between urgent and vital, or vignettes featuring real people who have demonstrated authentic Christianity in meeting their adversity.

Ed is a gifted writer and story teller. His writing is filled with wit and humor. He provides a comedic relief, entertainment, inspiration, encouragement, and motivation in each article. His stories are dynamic and life transforming. His subtle humor kept me smiling, grinning, and chuckling.

As I completed each chapter I stopped to reflect on the new insights, spiritual nuggets, and the life changing challenges opening up to me. A succinct phrase or meaningful verse from the Bible round out the day’s reading. Each short chapter is relevant and engaging, providing spiritual insights, and applications for everyday life.

“The 5 Minute Miracle: Standing Out by Becoming Outstanding” has awakened a thirst for my more of Ed Delph.
