I was very intrigued by this book. Dangerous prayers... sounds... well... dangerous Duh. But what and who do you think of when you think about people who prayed but primarily changed the world by sharing their love and faith with the world?
Overall, this is a great book in my opinion. It's a super easy read that all ages can enjoy. Even maybe for inspiration around bedtime.
There will be more well-known people who are in the book like Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Fredrick Douglass or Martin Luther King Jr who have played major roles not just in religion but primarily in the cultural and legal aspects of our country, the United States.
Then there are less well-known people that have had more impact on the church itself like Billy Graham, Martin Luther (not to be confused with Martin Luther King Jr), & Mother Theresa.
Likes:
* Nice cover
* Hardcover
* Mix of people across gender, race, time in history
* Brief Biography of each person
* Perfect coffee book table
* Makes great for gifts
* It has the page in the front to gift to someone
* There a ribbon to save your spot
* Beautiful quotes
* Laid out and written well
* Easy read
Dislikes:
* The cover is a tad misleading
* Wish that some of the quotes were not just from the bible or about the bible or about Christianity specifically just because it would make the book more universal
* The biographies are a little too short in my honest opinion, even for a quick coffee table read
I give this book a 5 out of 5!
