Seven Miracles That Saved America by Chris Stewart and Ted Stewart

6/10

So after finishing Shakespeare's Complete Works, I decided to read the shortest book that I had in the house. After looking, I found this little 25ish page coffee table style book and read it all on Saturday.

It's a good little book that briefly discusses some important events in U.S. history and takes the viewpoint that these were miracles, meaning God had a hand in assuring the nation's survival. This small illustrated version was published by taking the concepts from the authors' original full-length book titled Seven Miracles That Saved America: Why They Matter and Why We Should Have Hope. I haven't read it but it seems like it would be good.

Also, the Seven miracles discussed are:

1. Christopher Columbus and the Discovery of the New World
2. The Miracle at Jamestown
3. The Battle of New York during the Revolutionary War
4. The Miracle of Our Constitution
5. The Miracle of Abraham Lincoln and the Battle of Gettysburg
6. The Miracle at Midway during World War II
7. The miracle that saved Ronald Reagan's life, who went on to play a major role in defeating Communism.
