Out Of The Silence :

Rating:
Summary: Encouraging
Review: "God never does anything without having a purpose" the author tells us in the preface. This book is the story of how he, as one who makes his living communicating, lost his voice, and how he was healed by the Lord Jesus Christ. During his time of testing, his faith was being stretched. He describes various situations such as financial difficulties facing his college-age daughters. His wife told them, "Girls, I don't understand what God is doing right now, but this one thing I do know; He did not bring us into the desert to kill us. He will make a way for us. Stay in school" (p. 53).
On faith during such times, the author writes "At times, it may take more faith for us to maintain the right attitude through an anonymous trial than to preach to fifty thousand people in a superdome" (p. 61).
On receiving God's guidance:
"Quit looking for the grandiose and look for the routine...trust Him to lead you into His will for your life" (p. 64).
On Christian cliches:
"When I minister to people today, I am very slow to offer empty platitudes...Instead of platitudes, I've learned the power of silence and touch" (p. 95).
We're reminded that tests don't last forever. He describes the miracle he received from God and adds "The miracle didn't just bless me. It blessed thousands of people" (p. 140).
This is a faith-building book which I highly recommend.

Summary: Attests that miracles can and do happen!
Review: Duane Miller was told repeatedly that he would never speak again. God had a different plan. A virus infiltrated the nerves of his vocal cords, leaving only a harsh, raspy voice, and for three
years, Duane's condition stumped the medical profession. The world's greatest physicians reviewed and recorded his malady, each time coming to a dead end of conclusions. Then as quickly as the questions, frustrations, and confusion entered Duane's life, a miracle swept it all away.

"Out of the Silence" chronicles a trek of incredible faith and endurance. Without exception, Duane Miller's words literally, are a powerful reminder that God heals. From travesty to triumph, Duane's experiences are a tribute to God's remarkable goodness. This is the story of a broken man, without hope, who fell headlong into the grace and mercy of a sovereign God. Prepare to be inspired and awestruck as Duane presents one of the greatest stories ever told...

Summary: I was inspired and blessed by the spirit of this book.
Review: This book was a great blessing to my soul, God works in such get awesomeness. The story of Duane's life blessed me and warmed my heart. God is still in the miracle business, if we are open to hear and see the miracles he performs. Thanks Duane for allowing God to work in your life.

Summary: The Real Thing
Review: This guy is the real thing , I personally know Duane and he is everything that has been said about him. this book (and Duane, of course) is a gift from God to all of us to help us to strengthen our faith. A tape is included with the book that has the actual recording of the miracle in progress, I still cry everytime I hear it, for I truly beleive that I'm listening to God work. If you are looking for somthing to bolster your faith this is it. I pray that this recording and book will have the same effect on other readers, that it has on me.
