Miracles from Heaven Plot Summary

What happens in Miracles from Heaven from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The Beam family, consisting of Kevin (Martin Henderson), Christy (Jennifer Garner), and their daughters Abbie (Brighton Sharbino), Annabel (Kylie Rogers), and Adelynn (Courtney Fansler), lead a seemingly normal life in Burleson, Texas. Their Sundays are often spent at church, where Pastor Reverend Scott ([John Carroll Lynch]) delivers a heartfelt sermon on the importance of maintaining faith during tumultuous times.

As Kevin prepares to launch a new business venture, something unsettling occurs: Anna begins experiencing mysterious health issues that leave her constantly nauseated. Concerned parents, Christy and Kevin, consult doctors, who initially suggest that Anna might be lactose intolerant. However, Christy’s maternal instincts compel her to insist on further testing, leading to a harrowing diagnosis of a serious intestinal disorder that jeopardizes Anna’s health.
