101 Amazing Stories of Hope and Faith

Inspiring Stories from Real Life

About this book

You wouldn't believe it, but . . .
James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, grew up mute.
Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.
Albert Einstein was bullied mercilessly in school.
Beethoven's mom almost aborted him.


Life takes the strangest sharp turns—and sometimes, U-turns. Robert Petterson—popular speaker, storyteller, and author—has been a student for his entire life of what God is teaching us through those real-life U-turns. In this short book, he compiles amazing stories that teach lessons you won't easily forget. Each entry is written in the rest-of-the-story style popularized by Paul Harvey.

Marvel at how God has used the lives of these ordinary people to change the course of human history.

(Adapted from The One Year Book of Amazing Stories)
