Summary

From the apostle Paul to Charles Colson and the signing of the Magna Carta to the Jesus People movement, Bible verses have affected history and changed the course of events. This book gives the stories of how changes took place and how these same verses can affect people’s lives today.Similar to 100 Christian Books That Changed the Century and 100 Christian Women Who Changed the Twentieth Century, this book contains 100 two-page entries. But unlike the others, it has a devotional flair, with notes in the sidebars to help readers apply each verse to their own lives. The notes also explain what the verse meant to the original writer and the context in which the verse is found.Martin Luther, Leo Tolstoy, Harriet Tubman, James Dobson, the Elizabethan Age of England, Prohibition, and renewed emphasis on worship are only some of the people and movements influenced by Bible verses.The entries are arranged in chronological order, making the book user-friendly for home schoolers, history buffs, and preachers. It also contains a Scripture index for easy Bible study reference.
