''Walking Miracle'' is the eleventh overall album by gospel singer Vanessa Bell Armstrong, and her first for EMI Gospel. Leading up to its release, ''Miracle'' was heavily touted as a comeback effort citing Armstrong's recent family and health challenges that forced her to take a 6-year hiatus from recording. During the recent years since leaving her recording contract with Jive/Verity, her marriage dissolved and she suffered a stroke. The title track as well, produced by Jerkins, was written for and dedicated to Armstrong's son who was suffering from multiple sclerosis during the recording of the album.Vanessa Bell Armstrong - Walking Miracle (review)
