Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

| Publisher Description: En realidad suceden milagros? El milagro principal del que hablan los cristianos es la Encarnaci n. Ellos dicen que Dios se hizo Hombre. Cualquier otro milagro sucedi en preparaci n para esto, o es un resultado de esto. Este es el punto clave de Los Milagros, obra en la cual C. S. Lewis nos muestra que un cristiano debe no s lo aceptar sino tambi n regocijarse de los milagros como testimonios de la participaci n de Dios en la creaci n. Utilizando su caracter stico calor, lucidez e ingenio, Lewis desaf a a los racionalistas y a los c nicos por su falta de imaginaci n, y ofrece una po tica y alegre afirmaci n que los milagros s ocurren en nuestras vidas cotidianas.
