OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!Mar 05, 1999
This was definitley one of the best books that I have ever read! I really not a "GOD" person, and I surprised that I even picked up the book in the first place, but I am so glad I did. If I hadn't, I would have missed one of the very best books I have ever read. The whole story is amazing, and I just loved it. I couldn't put it down, it was so good. And I am not lying, I really loved this book. I had a few questions after I read it, but every good book does that to you. The setting and Charity were perfect, and it is the ideal thing that everyone loves. Adrianne was what the town needed to bring out what they thought about people and things about God. I would recommended this book to anyone, religoius or not.

A strange psychological story....BRILLIANT!Feb 23, 2000
By Chelsea
When I saw this novel in the bookstore, I didn't even read the back cover to see what it was about. But when I read it, I found myself glued to the thing. A strange sort of coming of age story, but it challenges the thought process of the entire town. I would recommend this book to anybody, especially those not sure about God and/or those who find humor in the extremes.

For all of the people who need miracles.Aug 11, 2005
By Metalgnome
"Kathleen"
The small town of Casper, Alabama is a happily quiet town where everyone knows everybody's business and no one seems to care what happens. But when Adrienne Dabney from New York moves in things get really shaken up. You see Adrienne is an artist and when she decides to do an `artists' fast where she doesn't eat for a month the local priest objects because he wants none of that East Coast hocus-pocus witch craft and sinning happening in his city. But Adrienne decides to do her fast anyways. A month later when she finally emerges from her home she brings the news that she has seen Jesus. This news brings an uproar and the people will be forever changed. This is a pretty good book!

 Send Me Down A MiracleOct 13, 2003
By Solon Student
Send Me Down A Miracle is the second book of Han Nolan's that I've read. Both of which have been fabulous. This book shows that relgion is a big part of what kind of person you are. Especially if your father is a Reverand, like Charity's is. When Adrianne comes to Kasper from NYC, Charity's entire point of view changes. She feels that Adrianne and anything she does is right and that G*d and her father are wrong. Everything changes after Adrianne annouces her vision of the Jesus chair. Now Charity doesn't know what to think. Her father is forcing her in one direction while her heart wants to go in the other. Send Me Down A Miracle is an amazing story of a girl who wants to do something for herself for a first. If you are religious or not, this book is still a great read.
