The 7 Miracles that Saved America


This was the book for our bookclub this month... what a tremendous read it was! Very interesting. The Stewarts chose 7 different historical events that 'saved' America... I could have guessed three of them, but the others were real eye openers...
Here are the SEVEN:
  • The unlikely discovery of America by Christopher Columbus
  • How (and why) desperate English colonists were able to survive the “starving time” at Jamestown
  • The Battle of New York during the Revolutionary War
  • The miraculous creation of the United States Constitution
  • Abraham Lincoln’s desperate prayer that turned the tide of the Civil War at Gettysburg
  • How a series of extraordinary events changed the Battle of Midway during World War II
  • The preservation of Ronald Reagan’s life from an assassin’s bullet, allowing him the time he needed to help extend freedom around the world
