Book Review: Dangerous Prayers: 50 Powerful Prayers That Changed the World by Susan Hill & Francesca Resta

Christianity as a religion of challenging the status quo, seeking a fight and not being afraid of danger. This is the theme of this book and the collection of prayers underscores the tenet that Christianity was never a safe or conformist religion. Taking lessons from MLK, Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln and St. Francis will embolden the reader to also seek out challenges and not being afraid to test unknown waters.
Wonderfully created with pictures and background on each person as well as representative prayer, this book is perfect to grab and read on person and prayer at a time, think about the content and then taking time to let it sink in, before tackling another chapter.
 While clearly a religious book, the content is more than simply a list of prayers and background on select Christians, it is a book that underscores that Christianity involves thinking for yourself and challenging others and norms without fear.
