It takes a lot more work to keep a marriage together for life than any bride and groom ever conceptualize. So many stress points over so many years that it's a miracle any marriage survives. Half of this year's Christmas stories have to do with marriage, most of them tackling such related subjects as alienation, separation, misunderstandings, divorce, reconciliation, and, of course, love. But with all these roadblocks barring the way to a marriage that lasts a lifetime (half of all marriages end in divorce), there are solutions to almost every problem. Kathleen Norris puts it this way: Marriage is a job. Happiness or unhappiness has nothing to do with it. There was never a marriage that could not be made a success, nor a marriage that could not have ended in bitterness and failure.

It's hard to believe that twenty years have passed since the first unnumbered book of Christmas stories was launched in the fall of 1992. Today, when books are out of print in only months, it is truly a miracle that all twenty Christmas in My Heart books are still in print. The Christmas in My Heart series is the longest-running Christmas story series in America, but the author says ""that is not a Joe Wheeler thing, but rather a God-thing."" Fans and collectors will be excited to add this beautiful new Christmas in My Heart 20 to their collection.

As Bill watched, the man in gray stepped up onto the running board that led from the front of the engine back to the cab and gave another signal--danger--stop! Then he turned and looked at the engineer. The train was still traveling at full speed, but the hat remained on the man's head without aid and his clothes were not blown by the wind. They remained in place just as if he were standing in his own parlor. Bill released the throttle, put on all brakes, and whistled for the flag. The train ground to a hard stop and the flagman went out. He had gone only about 150 feet when he signaled with his lantern. "Cave in!" When the crew rushed ahead, they found only a gaping hole where there had been the twin rails and a tool shed. The engineer and the fireman turned to inquier of the man in gray. But the mysterious night rider on that train was never found. He had disappeared just as mysteriously as he had appeared. "When each of us looks back over our lives, rare will be the person who doesn't see incidents like these, providential rescues, times when our lives were spared by unexplainable deviations from natural law and natural probabilities, when God stepped in, through is angels, to save us."

The second book in Joe L. Wheeler s Favorite Stories collection. In the house all was dark and quiet almost. For there was pale-blue light in the kitchen, with the gentle rustle of a boiling liquid. The light came from a gas burner whose flame was turned down low, the sound from the coffeepot, whose contents were simmering away. But there was no one around to see the soft blue glow or hear the murmuring sound from the coffeepot. Only Ralph was in the house, and he was asleep upstairs. . . . Now the gentle sound gave way to a hiss, and then a sputter. In a few seconds, this stopped and the pale-blue light went out. Then the only sound was a soft whisper as the gas sighed its way past the lips of the gas jets and escaped into the freedom of the kitchen. . . . Slowly and gently the deadly vapor filled the kitchen, rolled into the dining room, and then silently climbed the stairs and sidled into the room where Ralph lay sleeping. . . . As Ralph s wristwatch and his heartbeats steadily ticked off the moments of life, . . . while the gas jets in the kitchen without hurry and without cessation insistently released their death-bringing fumes into the air. . . . And then God spoke. You d better wake up, Ralph! Is there a difference between miracle stories and coincidence stories? Well, there certainly ought to be a difference. I have come to this conclusion: if there is no clear indication of divine intervention in a given story, I see no valid reason to consider it spiritually miraculous. Joe L. Wheeler

My Favorite Miracle Stories

The third book in Joe L. Wheeler s Favorite Stories collection. Dusk was approaching as Lynn set out. The path lay before him dark and mysterious, but he was a good woodsman, and without hesitation struck out rapidly, making surprising progress through the quiet forest. Snap! The sound of a twig breaking some distance to the right broke the stillness. Again, some moments later, the same sound came from ahead of the lone boy. Every nerve in his body grew tense. .a mountain lion was following him! With a whispered prayer, Lynn asked God to protect him from this danger and to allow him to fulfill his mission and bring help for his stricken comrade. . . The crackling of the brush made by the stealthy march of the prowler told Lynn that the lion was walking around him in a large circle. It was still fully a mile to the ranger s cabin. Could he make it? Round and round him the lion crept, making each circle smaller than the preceding one. It seemed to Lynn that he had gone miles at that furious pace. In vain his eyes searched for the light of the cabin he knew must be near, but he could see only deep blackness on all sides of him. Then he heard the soft padding of the mountain lion s paws. How close the animal was! He knew that the beast might spring at almost any moment now/... I firmly believe that prayers are not meant merely to supply our wants, although God does grant a surprisingly large number of such prayers. Rather, however, they are meant to deepen our friendship and companionship with our Maker. ~ Joe L. Wheeler
