Publisher's Synopsis
Young Reuben crawls through the freezing nighttime rain, dragging his legs and feet behind him. Unable to walk since birth, he is tired of being miserable and a burden on his family. He plans to end his life by casting himself into the Sea of Galilee. But when he collapses from exhaustion, he finds himself rescued by a mysterious, bearded priest. The priest tells Reuben a story about Micah, a disabled boy who was confronted with similar challenges . . . until the day he met Jesus. But will the priest's story be enough to convince Reuben of the importance of his life? And who is this mysterious stranger who has taken him in? A Miracle for Micah enables readers to put themselves into the shoes of a character in a well-known Bible story, allowing them to identify with him, his peers, his family, and the heartache they faced. Through this story and the accompanying discussion guide, readers will be able to see their own opportunities to carry on the work of Jesus wherever they are and whatever they face in life.
