The book relates the stories of thirty stunning small miracles Askin Ozcan has experienced in his own life in Turkey, U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Poland.
Some of these small miracles have been very important in the life of the author Askin Ozcan.
They range from finding old friends in London or Istanbul or Helsinki, to finding a birth-day present for his fiancee when his cheque wasn't accepted at the store; from meeting an American, in a Bulgarian village, which carried him to Cambridge, MA, for a big commercial venture, to meeting a stranger in Stockholm which opened the ways for
a ship building project. From a life saving miracle in an ill-fated bus from Marmaris to Ankara, to a miracle which saved his life in a boat to Finland.
Also, "Two Spectacles in the Sky" are very remarkable incidents in the first chapter of the book, which gave a green light to Ozcan to continue with a religious project he had.
Many other interesting small miracles are related in detail, in the book which also has a
chapter suggesting the coming closer of the different religions of God.
Writer's Digest report from the 75th annual competition said, "this suggestion is perhaps the only way to achieve a world peace."
