This book aims to examine some turning points in Britain’s wars in the last century, in the light of prayer and the Christian faith of commanders.
We know that God overrules in human history (Acts17:26, Isa.37:26-29), and that He hears and answers His people’s prayers (Matt.7:11). The difficult bit is understanding why individual defeats and victories happen.
