Step back with Tricia Goyer as she presents history in a unique collection of stories in Prayers that Changed History. Highlighting 25 historical figures, Tricia’s aim is to help teach kids how to pray. The reader is encouraged to ask, “What would have happened if each of these persons had not prayed and acted on his or her calling?”
Each story begins with a brief narrative about the notable figure and his or her prayer that changed history forever. Included with every account is “Something to think about,” which encourages thought-provoking questions. Quoted memoirs or prayers encompass “In his/her own words.” “How he/she changed history” summarizes the person and his or her impact on history. Bible passages of similar stories are included in “It’s in the Bible,” and “Your life” offers prayer suggestions and encourages readers to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others.
An excellent resource for youth of either gender, this book shows prayer at work through historical lives and stories. One doesn’t have to be a history buff to enjoy the powerful messages and inspiration of how 25 people changed history forever.
