Publisher's Synopsis
This beautiful 288 page full-color collector's edition contains 50 inspiring stories from both volumes one & two of the best-selling Miracles in American History. Times of past crises when America's fate hung desperately in the balance. From the French & Indian War, Revolution, Barbary Pirate War, War of 1812, Civil War, WWI & II, and beyond, you will learn 'the rest of the story' of how faith and courage arose and disaster was averted! Captivating incidents of unexplainable circumstances! In 1746, 70 ships with 13,000 troops sailed from France to lay waste to the American colonies. Massachusetts Governor William Shirley proclaimed a Day of Fasting. What happened next! After the Battle of Monongahela, George Washington wrote from Fort Cumberland to his younger brother, John Augustine Washington, July 18, 1755: "But by the All-Powerful Dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me!" How did Jefferson's resolution for a Day of Fasting on June 1, 1774, lead to the forming of the Continental Congress, and eventually Independence? Read how in 1781 the rising of three rivers in 10 days allowed Americans to escape British General Cornwallis? Or how Benedict Arnold's planned betrayal of West Point was uncovered? Washington exclaimed: "The Hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this (the course of the war) that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith." Franklin declared: "In the beginning of the Contest with Great Britain...we had daily prayer in this room for Divine protection...All of us observed frequent instances of a Superintending Providence in our favor." In 1865, Lincoln proclaimed a Day of Fasting for April 30. What freak accident happened two days later that changed the War? What did Woodrow Wilson declare as the U.S. entered WWI. Or Hoover during the Great Depression? Or FDR, Eisenhower, MacArthur and Patton during WWII? Battle of Midway? Or Truman during the Korean War? Or during Apollo 13 crisis?
