The Story of Annabel
This book tells the real-life story of Annabel Beam, who was 10 years old. She faced a very serious stomach problem that caused her a lot of pain. Doctors tried their best, but it was a rare condition with no known cure.
Annabel's Big Fall
One day, while Annabel was visiting home from the hospital, something incredible happened. She was climbing a tall cottonwood tree with her older sister. Suddenly, a branch broke, and Annabel fell headfirst. She dropped about 30 feet into the hollow inside of the tree trunk.
Annabel was stuck inside the tree for several hours. During this time, she had a special experience. She later said she visited with Jesus, who told her she would be okay. Rescuers worked hard to get her out safely.
A Miraculous Recovery
After being rescued, Annabel was rushed to the hospital. Doctors found that she had no broken bones or serious injuries from the fall. But the biggest surprise came next.
Annabel no longer felt pain from her stomach disorder. Her doctors were amazed. They confirmed that her rare disease had somehow disappeared. It was a complete and unexpected healing.
From Book to Big Screen
The inspiring story of Annabel Beam was so powerful that it was made into a movie! Sony Pictures produced the film, also called Miracles from Heaven.
The movie stars famous actors like Jennifer Garner, Kylie Rogers (as Annabel), Queen Latifah, Martin Henderson, and Eugenio Derbez. It was directed by Patricia Riggen and written by Randy Brown. Many people praised Jennifer Garner's acting in the film.
