Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe



A mom considering divorce, a coffee shop barista angel, and a mysterious God Blog combine to create an awe-inspiring tale of redemption and faith.  Pastor and author Max Lucado, with Candace Lee and Eric Newman, has penned a contemporary novel that is easy to relate to and fun to read.  Heroine Chelsea Chambers is making plans to divorce her unfaithful NFL star husband.  She has moved with her two children into her family home, and is trying to make a go of a coffee shop in the lower level.  Though she can make cupcakes like a pro, she can’t seem to make enough money to keep the shop afloat. Then, a mysterious barista enters the shop and things begin to happen.  The old computer in the corner develops a straight line to Heaven and the God Blog is born. The Higher Grounds shop becomes famous as crowds throng in to get their questions answered and buy their coffee.  Of course, this leads to unseen situations and more problems than Chelsea can handle alone, until she learns that she is not alone.  I highly recommend this novel.  This fast paced story is funny, sad, and at times complicated, but is difficult to put down.  Twists and turns keep you reading to see Chelsea’s next move.  I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the words here are my own.
