A Charming tale to remind us all that our
kindness works miracles.
“When the sun sets and stars fill
the sky, the square in the little town grows quiet and still.
The cool air of distant hills mingles with the sweet scent of
baking bread. The moon rises and glows softly. It’s the
sort of place where miracles could happen.”
David and Jacob live in the same little,
ordinary town, but it’s almost as if they’re from
different worlds. David is so poor he can barely feed his
family. Jacob is so consumed with staying rich he thinks about
nothing but money. But the two men have one thing in common:
they both believe that miracles are big, magical things that
can only happen somewhere else, to someone else.
But when Jacob wakes up from a nap in
synagogue one day, sure that God has demanded twelve loaves of
bread from him, all this changes in amazing ways you’d
never expect.
A delightful, timeless legend based on
Jewish tradition, In God’s
Hands tells of the ordinary
miracles that occur when we really, truly open our eyes to the
world around us.
