The Book of Amazing Stories: A Review

This is a book of 90 devotions and each devotion is based on a truly amazing story. Author Robert Peterson has been a lifelong student of what God is teaching us through people’s lives. In this book, Peterson compiles ninety amazing stories that teach lessons you won’t easily forget.

Did you know that Beethoven’s mom almost aborted him?

Did you know that an exorcism was once performed on Mother Teresa?

Did you know that the Battle of Gettysburg started as a search for shoes?

You will learn in reading this book many things about famous and some infamous people that likely you never knew before and that teach good lessons.

Some of the people whose stories are told include:

Martin Luther King Jr.,

Marilyn Monroe,

Ronald Reagan,

Winston Churchill,

Susanna Wesley,

And many, many others.

Each story ends with a thought-provoking principle as well as an accompanying Bible verse to carry you through the day.

Here are a few of my favorite thought provoking principles:

The greatest powers cannot overcome the humblest prayers.

One person with courage makes a majority.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act but a permanent attitude.
