From time immemorial, prayer has provided comfort in our darkest hours, stirred us to action beyond what we thought possible, and shown us the way through seemingly insurmountable challenges. In this engaging tour of world history, author and historian Jean-Pierre Isbouts takes us on an inspiring tour of ten prayers that played a pivotal role in world events—from the divine inspiration of Joan of Arc to Martin Luther King's powerful hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is our God"; from Abraham's poignant plea to save his son to George Washington's prayerful words to the newly formed American states; from Constantine the Great's prayer before battle to Gandhi's deeply moving "prayer of peace." Ten Prayers That Changed the World delves into the moments in history where faith and prayer intersected with the course of mankind.
Frank Turano said UPLIFTING!. Surprising stories & learned unknown prayers. LOVED its joyful message and stories. Worth every penny! Uplifting. Read in conjunction with Morgan Freeman's on demand "The Story of God.". It was interesting and the historical information was well done Gypsy It was interesting and the historical information was well done. It just seemed short, half a book and a bit simplistic. It's worth reading though if you don't expect too much.. "GREAT BOOK ABOUT INDIVIDUAL PRAYERS" according to LADYHEARTWELL. I learned a lot about the prayers of some individuals I had not heard of before.
