WINTER GARDEN, Fla., Aug. 4, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — Why do so many sincere Christians pray faithfully yet never see the “mountains” in their lives move? In his new book, Where Is My Miracle? How a Misleading Translation Robbed Believers of Hope in the Face of Mountains: A Re-examination of Matthew 17:20 in Modern Translations, author, pastor, and Bible teacher Charles Cooper presents a thought-provoking study that challenges one of the most familiar interpretations of Jesus’ teaching on faith.
Available on Amazon.com, Where Is My Miracle? is the third and concluding volume in Coop’s God’s Good News Trilogy. Building on decades of biblical study, the book argues that the commonly quoted phrase, “faith the size of a mustard seed,” has shaped Christian thinking in ways that do not fully reflect Jesus’ original emphasis in Matthew 17:20.
Rather than focusing on the mustard seed because it is small, Coop contends that Jesus intended His listeners to consider what the seed becomes—a mature mustard tree. This perspective, he argues, better fits the immediate context of Matthew 17, the broader biblical use of the mustard seed imagery, and the disciples’ inability to cast out the demon in the passage.
“Many believers have concluded that only a tiny amount of faith is needed to move mountains,” says Cooper. “My research led me to ask whether Jesus was instead describing a faith that grows, matures, and ultimately becomes capable of accomplishing what immature faith cannot.” “Mountains are not afraid of mustard seeds, but they fear mustard trees,” he states.
The book also introduces the Ten Laws of the Seed, a practical framework for cultivating mature faith by preparing the heart, embracing God’s promises, persevering through seasons of growth, and living with confident expectation.
Written for pastors, Bible students, and Christians seeking biblical answers to unanswered prayers and seemingly impossible circumstances, Where Is My Miracle? invites readers to re-examine a familiar passage with fresh eyes while rediscovering hope in God’s promises.
Where Is My Miracle? is available beginning August 2026, in paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon.com.
