how How to avoid repetition of phrases and words, and how to ensure work is grammatically sound?

https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/32231/is-it-better-to-save-each-chapter-in-a-separate-word-document-or-all-in-one-docu

^ was my first question. 
I am 10 chapters into editing the book and I'm finding myself a loss of words to describe certain events and situations.

The book is spiritual in nature and most chapters have vivid descriptions of miracles that an individual has experienced. Miracles are a recurring theme in all the chapters, I still have 92 more chapters to re write.

I'm finding myself repeating these set of words: 
Blessed, miraculous, good fortune, fortuitous, lucky , fortunate, chance.

Or: how to go about describing a scene that has a landscape filled with snow  ?

  • covered in a blanket of snow
  • vast expanses of land glistening with thick layers of virgin snow
  • sheets of snow
  • etc etc etc

I am strictly against repetition and I am taking a break to cool off and recover from the block.

Is there any good bank/compilation of adjective phrases that describe extraordinary events  ? Currently I'm looking at http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18362.

Also is there any book on grammar the members would recommend, so that I can rely on that book for sanity checks? MS Word is misleading me, wrongly correcting sentences which I know are right, and that is driving me insane.

I read a lot of books to stay up to date. 
What is a good way to maintain expand my written vocabulary and ensure that the quality of translation is maintained through all the 100+ chapters and that it doesn't deteriorate  ?

I want the reader to have a good reading experience and I don't want them to get tired of reading the book.
