When a nation prays, amazing consequences follow. This book highlights the 12 national days of prayer held by Britain during World War Two. Employing original research from local newspapers of the period, it endeavours to trace the hand of God’s providence in the progression of the conflict and analyses the significance of a humbled people seeking God’s face in prayer.
COMMENDATION BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR LAURENCE NEW, ASSISTANT CHIEF OF THE GENERAL STAFF 1983-84 :
I most heartily commend this book to anyone interested in British history in times of danger. The listing of the twelve National Days of Prayer alone is a valuable record. The point is well made that King George was not only a committed Christian convinced of the power of prayer; he was also one of the few people fully and regularly briefed by the Prime Minister to the highest security levels, such that the King knew better than anyone when between 1939 and 1945.
The great value of Pastor Peter Simpson’s research is the unmistakeable link between the nation’s prayer and the Lord’s response. It is a book that all Christians should read, and which could be shared with those who do not yet believe in the power of prayer.
