Eric Metaxas is tackling the big question of miracles in his latest book, what they look like and whether they are compatible with science.
His new book, "Miracles", which has just hit the Top 20 on the New York Times bestselling list, is a personal exploration of the miracles he has seen in his own life and those of the people he knows, but his hope is that it will be picked up by those who are questioning whether miracles are real and or are unsure of what it all means.
Ultimately he wonders if the existence of the Earth, the human race, and the love we feel for other people are in themselves miracles.
And if miracles are real, how do they line up with science?
"What exactly is a miracle? Are miracles compatible with science? Is science compatible with miracles? Maybe miracles are just fakery," he ponders.
"Life. Was it just random or was God somehow in that?
"What if you could know and get signs along the way that God is really out there and trying to communicate with us? I want people to know that this isn't something I wrote for me. This is for other people, for you, to get you thinking about these ultiamte questions."
He elaborated further on his ideas in a recent interview on the 700 Club in which he said miracles are essentially signs pointing to God.
"It's God speaking to us through a sign to point us back to himself," he explained.
