An ambitious reporter must find the truth about a man who works miracles in this supernatural mystery featuring a female lead.
About the Book
Jaime Halasz is fighting for a bright future after a tragic past when she’s assigned the story of her career: uncover the source of the miracles breaking out all over Atlanta, GA.
As the seemingly supernatural events pile up, she’s skeptical. But when she witnesses the miraculous events herself, she’s thrust into the center of the story that will make or break everything she’s been working for.
What will it take to believe in these miracles and the man behind them? And even if Jaime can trust him, what happens to her story—and his future—when some believers turn their backs?
Miracles asks us to consider what it would look like in a world of smart phone videos and 24/7 media if the unbelievable became undeniable.
Praise for Miracles
“A few pages in, I was gripped with the strength of one of my favorite spy thrillers, finishing “Miracles” in less than forty-eight hours. But Miracles is more than entertaining. It is provocative, thought-provoking. Profound even. John goes beyond asking us whether we believe in miracles. He hands us a pair of glasses to see that the real miracle (of everlasting significance) is the transformation of our human hearts.”
– Barry Rowan, author of The Spiritual Art of Business
I’m a big fan of John Coleman’s writing! This book is a departure from his non-fiction work, and I loved it! Masterful storytelling with a deeper message. I will be sharing this book with my friends and family!
– Kevin Scott, author of Inspired Everyday
John Coleman does it again with his bright mind and sharp pen, and this time it’s in fiction form. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see beyond the surface of things.
– J.B. Simmons, author of the best-selling Five Towers Series

“John Coleman has lived a full life: a wide reader and engaged father of four, John has worked at huge companies and small companies, served on boards, written books and articles, and maintains one of the best social media profiles I follow. This book is all I’d hope for from such a deep thinker on the subject.”
– Evan Baehr, Author Get Backed
This one of very few single-author volumes in HBR Guide to…. series, most of which are anthologies of articles that first appeared in Harvard Business Review….If each of them were viewed as an HBR article, the total cost of them all — if purchased separately as reprints — would be about $100. Amazon now sells a paperbound copy for only $21.95.
That’s not a bargain; that’s a steal, especially when you take into full account the substantial value-added benefit of having all of the material in a single source, one that is potable.
– Robert Morris

About the Book
Globalization. Sustainability. Technology. Diversity. Learning. Convergence of the public and private sectors. These are the big issues on the minds of young leaders today—the challenges they most want to, and must, pursue.
In Passion and Purpose, dozens of recent Harvard Business School MBAs share personal stories on assuming the mantle of leadership in ways unlike any previous generation. In candid accounts of their successes and setbacks—from launching start-ups to taking on the family business to helping kids in the Arabian Gulf to harnessing new technology and developing clean energy—they reveal how the next generation of ideas, aspirations, and practices are shaping business and redefining leadership around the world.
Drawing on insights from a survey of 500 students from top U.S. business schools, Passion and Purpose provides an overview of big, hot-button issues, followed by firsthand accounts from young leaders who are tackling these issues head-on. Their personal stories are rounded out with broader perspectives from established luminaries in business, academia, and the public sector, including Dominic Barton (Managing Director of McKinsey & Company), Nitin Nohria (dean of Harvard Business School), David Gergen (CNN analyst, presidential advisor and director of Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership), Carter Roberts (CEO of World Wildlife Fund), and many others.
Passion and Purpose offers profound insight into the values and vision of tomorrow’s leaders, and inspiration and ideas for all aspiring leaders who hope to lead change in the world.
Praise for Passion & Purpose

– JP Morgan Summer Reading List, 2012
Leaders in each generation face several challenges that are quite different from those that confronted leaders in earlier generations and are also quite different from those that leaders in future generations will encounter. It was ever thus and always will be true. That is one of several reasons why I think so highly of this book.
– Robert Morris, San Francisco Review of Books
As well as ‘passion’, what all of these contributors share is an idealism and hope that, though slightly grating at moments, is on the whole infectious and makes Passion & Purpose an upbeat, enjoyable read – as well as a useful one.
– Emmanuelle Smith, review in the Financial Times
About the Book
Uses Jesus’ words and actions found in the New Testament to systematically evaluate his rhetorical stylings, drawing real lessons from his teachings that today’s readers can employ.
Jesus of Nazareth never wrote a book, held political office, or wielded a sword. He never gained sway with the mighty or influential. He never took up arms against the governing powers in Rome. He was a lower-class worker who died an excruciating death at the age of thirty-three. Yet, in spite of all odds-obscurity, powerlessness, and execution-his words revolutionized human history.
How to Argue Like Jesus examines the life and words of Jesus and describes the various ways in which he sought-through the spoken word, his life, and his disciples-to reach others with his message. The authors then pull some very simple rhetorical lessons from Jesus’ life that readers can use today.
Both Christian and non-Christian leaders in just about any field can improve their ability to communicate effectively by studying the words and methods of history’s greatest communicator.
Praise for How to Argue Like Jesus
How to Argue like Jesus will help communications professors to teach angelically. Carter and Coleman Christianize Aristotle and add heavenly heuristics that show how Jesus used story and imagery, and how we can go and do likewise.
– Marvin Olasky, Editor in Chief, World
Effectively teaches logic and critical thinking in the context of a well-lived life. This is what the church needs.
– John Mark Reynolds, Founder and Director, Torrey Honors Institute
How to Argue Like Jesus serves as a highly effective primer on rhetoric. By taking readers on a lively journey through the many persuasive techniques Jesus used in his earthly ministry, the book promises to hold the attention of young evangelicals more effectively than a typical comp/rhetoric textbook.
– Jonathan Witt, the Acton Institute
Carter and Coleman take a complex topic and distill it into a clear and readable volume on proper communication.
– William Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education.
