Magical Souvenirs

"These enchanting stories shine a light along the path where reality and miracles meet." —Deepak Chopra

A chance encounter that leads to a spiritual awakening. An awe-inspiring coincidence. A soulful connection to a strange new place. Magical Souvenirs brings together over 60 true accounts of mystical journeys of both the body and the spirit.

From a vacationer in Egypt who suddenly recites an obscure prayer in flawless Arabic, to a prisoner who mentally travels back to her childhood and wakes up with a fresh-picked daisy in her hand, to a couple visited by the spirit of their deceased son in a New Mexico church, Magical Souvenirs takes readers on an inspirational odyssey to other places and worlds. Whether you are traveling to historic landmarks, sacred sites, or the mysterious depths of the soul itself, these touching and uplifting stories will transport you to a realm where prayers are answered and where everyday miracles happen.
