The Mysteries of Father Baker

Healing the blind and the deaf. Commanding the weather. Discovering a "Miracle Well." Curing the diseased. Performing miracles that imitated those worked by Jesus Christ Himself, including raising people from the dead.These are just some of the wonders that have been attributed to the intercession of Father Nelson Baker during his life, and even after his death. The Mysteries of Father Baker examines the historical record surrounding these and other signs worked by this devoted priest, renowned humanitarian and candidate for sainthood. Koerner's focus on miracles in this book reflects the marketable emphasis on extraordinary happenings and is reminiscent of collections of miracle stories read on saints' feast days during the Middle Ages.
