Seven Miracles That Saved America

By: Chris Stewart, Ted Stewart

Narrated by: Mark Van Wagoner, Art Allen

“When the odds were stacked against us - and there have been many times when the great experiment we call America could have and should have failed - did God intervene to save us?”

That question, posed by authors Chris and Ted Stewart, is the foundation for this remarkable book. And the examples they cite provide compelling evidence that the hand of Providence has indeed preserved the United States of America on multiple occasions. Skillfully weaving story vignettes with historical explanations, they examine seven instances that illustrate God’s protecting care:

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

Never, at any of these critical junctures, was a positive outcome certain or even likely. Yet America prevailed. Why?

“No man is perfect,” write the authors. “And neither is any nation. Yet, despite our weakness, we are still, as Abraham Lincoln said, the best nation ever given to man. Despite our faults, this nation is still the last, best hope of earth.” In short, God still cares what happens here. This reassuring message is a bright light in a world that longs for such hope.

I was very impressed with the amount of detailed research that have been done and the writing and narration that summarized it in a way that kept me interested the entire time, there were many things I learned though I had heard much of this I hadn't seen it all put together so well.

Excellent. Inspiring.

I’ve read this book several times. I love it so much decided to get it on audiobook. It gives me hope that God’s plans for America cannot be derailed by the people in this world. There is no other explanation for the existence of America.

Well Written and Informative

This should be required reading. Loved it, and have told everyone I care for about it.

Well done

Wonderful book, had a number of gems of knowledge and a very thoughtful treatment of subjects. Written kindly for a larger audience as religious views were presented for audience’s consideration rather than as facts. Could tell that author’s main intent was for learning and to increase good in the world. I was very appreciative for the opportunity to read this book.

Excellent

Interesting stories, well written, intriguing, inspirational, and a great reminder of the amazing country we have been given. The narrators are also easy to listen to.
