This was such a cute and engaging children’s book that my two kiddos enjoyed even more than I did! I hadn’t read anything from this author before, but the cover tugged at the animal lover in my heart. I don’t typically read books in this genre, so I have to mention how pleasantly surprised I was when I was pulled into the book. My kids are 8 and 12, and I think they are the perfect age for this story. The illustrations are beautiful and truly added to the book! It also sparked some absolutely wonderful conversations within our family, and that alone makes it a winner in my opinion. I recommend picking this up for the young ones in your life!

This is a very warm hearted story about believing in faith and the great unknowns. This is a cute book to read slightly older kiddos maybe in Sunday school or something. I really like the illustrations, the book isn’t full of them but the ones it has are beautiful. It’s a quick read great for a lesson in faith and believing. Well written and Lovely pictures. Four stars and highly recommended.

What a heart-warming true story. Her cat, Muffin, goes missing and she turns to God and prayer. The pictures are beautifully illustrated. I do not feel there is a restriction on age appropriateness, as God’s workings do not have one. This is a great teaching that God is always there when you need him. a wonderful story.

What a wonderful story to introduce our little ones to the blessings of knowing The Lord. The story shares a true story of Muffin, and how he was lost. You see Muffin slipped out the door on a cold day. The family searched for weeks and could not find Muffin. This story is a miracle indeed. The author explained her journey in words the children could understand. The story is easy to follow and the pictures are eye-catching. Best part of this story is the prayer as well as the scriptures to refer to. This story is a must read and own on your childrens book shelves.

A white cat goes missing in the snow, presumably never to be seen again. This is the catalyst which leads a sweet family to God. The single mom finds the strength to go to the nearby church. It is a church where she has noticed the people talking to one another outside. After two weeks of being missing, a coworker finds the white cat on her way to work one morning!

A Miracle in Muffin: A True Story by Darlene Duemo which tells the author’s true story about the time her cat went missing and the faith that gave her strength during her search. This is an illustrated children’s story book, and has a Christian, faith-based story about the power of prayer. As it is aimed at younger readers, I think children from ages 6 to 13 would probably like this story. It reminds me of ones we used to read in Sunday School. The story is accompanied by lovely illustrations which help the story ‘come to life’. A sweet little book for the family bookshelf.

This is a wonderful story of faith and belief and is fantastic for young children learning more about their faith. The book is based on the authors life and was full of heart and you could tell how strong of faith the author has in God. A comforting story for the young and old alike.

4/5 Stars As a Christian myself, I love that this is a Christ centered book for children. I do think the language used is for older kids. It’s well written and it ministers.

This is not the usual book that I read however I do love cats so I thought I would give it a go. The story was sweet and you could really feel how important God and faith is to the author – whom this story is based on and this really came across well in the story. I can imagine people who have a particularly strong faith would find this book lovely to read and especially for younger children who are learning about prayer and believing. The book was well written, a nice short story for young children/adults to enjoy. Whilst it was not my kind of story I did enjoy reading it.

A cute short story about how a woman’s belief in God lead to the miracle return of her cat Muffin. The author based this on her real life, many different religions believe different things and that should be understood when reading this story, that the author’s views and beliefs maybe different than your own.

This is a cute children’s story about learning that you can trust in the Lord and that He is there when you need Him. This is a spiritual inspiration that any child would enjoy reading. The author brings this story to life with details and a plot that is true life. It has great illustrations that will pull your child in and keep them engaged to the end. There is so much to learn from this book that it is one you won’t regret adding to your child’s library. I enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend it.

What a wonderful story! I absolutely adored it. The illustrations were great. A Miracle in Muffin tells us about how a cat missing brought her to God. I have recommended it to my daughter and even our church youth pastor.

A Miracle In Muffin: A True Story by Darlene Duemo- 4 out of 5 stars
This is the first book I have read from this author. The book is a story about a woman’s journey to faith after her cat went missing. Breathtakingly beautiful illustrations were printed throughout the book. It may be a short book but it has a big message. I recommend reading this book.

A Miracle In Muffin: A True Story by Darlene Duemo. This is a lovely true story about a woman and her missing cat. During the search she finds her faith in God answers her prayer and she finds Muffin. This is a very Christian faith based book for kids around the ages of 6-18. I really enjoyed it and I read it to my 5 year old nephew and he enjoyed it. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is as well. Being a Christian I could relate to this book in all the ways but if someone is not I could see how they wouldn’t connect. I think its a important book for kids if their families practice the Christian faith.

Wonderful, wholesome true story by Darlene…A Miracle in Muffin is a Christian children’s book that is for ages 6-18, but I believe you can enjoy this story at any age. Putting faith in God is where Darlene turns when her cat, Muffin, goes missing on a cold night. Through the power of prayer and time, miracles can happen.
This is truly a wonderful story and the illustrations are wonderful…it definitely lifted my spirits up and I recommend this as a must read. Just truly wonderful.

From the moment you start reading, this book has such a wholesome and lovely feel about it. It was a little harder to connect with given how strong the religious focus was, but I think that is more to do with my lack of belief. For anyone who practices this religion, it is a beautifully written story. Religion aside, I still found myself enjoying this story and the journey we get to witness. It is definitely an uplifting book and for that alone I csn easily say I thought it was great.

A Miracle In Muffin is a Christian children’s book by Darlene Duemo. Being a true story gives it a different feel. It is a very religious tale and is aimed for those aged between 6 – 18 years old. It is the story of one woman’s journey to faith after her cat Muffin disappeared and ended up in trouble. It is a story with a very strong and clear message of God, belief, devotion, the importance of prayer and miracles that came about in a time of need. If you are a religious person/family, then this book is for you.

This is a heartwarming story about a cat that goes missing and his owner’s quest to find it. The illustrations are very beautifully done and follow the story well. I do believe the author’s heart is right in sharing this story, however, I cannot fully recommend it because I do not believe that the Bible teaches this path to redemption. I have never found any passage in the Bible that says if you say this specific prayer you will be saved. What I have read is the accounts of the Ethiopian Eunuch, Cornelius’s family, and others where the Word was heard, the Word was believed, repentance happened, a confession was made, and baptism for the remission of sins took place.

A nice personal testimony of this author being saved and her belief in the Lord. I was worried about the cat, Muffin, the whole book more than anything, I love animals and because Muffin escaped during the cold, my heart was breaking. The way that Muffin was found, brought out the testimony of the owner to her co-workers, which then in turn had them looking into the miracle that is God. The artwork in the book is beautiful and I really liked the background of each page being snowflakes, it gave my eyes more to look at.

This was a really beautiful story of being brought to God in times of trouble. Muffin was the author’s cat. Muffin went missing. This brought about a whole set of actions that led to a miracle. There are beautiful prayers and poems in the book. It’s a very neat story that can be shared with all to help in times of trouble or anguish or to even help bring people to God. It was a definite light in my reading.
