| Publisher Description: A Book of Prayers: To the Heavens from the Stars Author Chuck Spinner has very successfully compiled a book of favorite prayers from over 100 well known celebrities. Included among these famous people are Oscar winners; Heisman Trophy recipients; Olympic Gold Medalists; Four-star Generals; a Nobel Peace Prize recipient; and even a Monarch and three former Miss Americas. Prayers have come from the only pitcher to ever record a perfect World Series game; from the player who hit "the shot heard round the world"; from the only two time Heisman trophy winner; and from the only undefeated four time NCAA wrestling champion. Former Cleveland Browns All-Pro lineman, Doug Dieken writes the Foreword and Spinner writes a chapter on the qualities and power of prayer along with engaging introductions to each of the celebrities. To the Heavens from the Stars concludes with quotes from famous historical figures on the significance and power of prayer. The book highlights both religion and history and illustrates that athletes, entertainers, and governmental officials can and do provide models for prayer in one's life. Former Detroit Tiger pitcher Virgil Trucks wrote Spinner that he thinks the author's book of prayers will be the greatest book ever written. The author is more comforted by the words of former U.S. Open winner, Scott Simpson, who wrote him that he hoped that "God honors you for honoring Him." |
