Summary: The Inspirational Skinny On Many
Comment: I have found the book to be inspirational. Even those spotlighted who have no spiritual aspirations have done some things either very right or very wrong and thus teach the reader.
It is so succinct. Whoever wrote up the summaries was genious in
being salient. The write-ups are not only compelling, but riveting. It always leaves me thoughtful, reminded of the words
"We each will be remembered for one thing". Prayer just happens as I read - prayer for the individual. And the prayer helps
are very thoughtful and not trite as easily could be the case.
Only problem: It's three years old. The other day I quoted
from the book concerning the close spiritual bond between Jeff
Gordon and his wife. Someone brought me up short, "Haven't you
heard, they're getting a divorce?". But even that gave me pause for thought. Like anything old - fruit or pie - it spoils fast. Please, Kopp, Kopp, Wilson, do a 2003! Thanks for a great
job! Be encouraged! May your tribe increase! S.F.

Summary: Worth looking Into
Comment: Christianity, an offshoot of Judaism, was from its very beginning (at Pentecost) and evangelical faith. In fact, it's not so much a religion but a two-thousand year recitation of Redemtion through Jesus Christ. And in those twenty centuries some of the most unlikely and indeed offensive people who ever lived have found peace in Christ. It's good to pray for everyone simply because that's what Christianity is -- it's not a secret society or a clique, but men and women born again of the Holy Spirit who only wish others to share in that Spirit.
While it's good to pray for everyone, leaders of society especially need prayer support, whether they know God or not. Any buttressing will be appreciated. But the down side to this book is that while lists of influential people should circulate for prayer, putting them in a book and selling them seems on the face of it rather on a shakey foundation. It also gives Christophobes, the enemies of Christianity, who are quick to misinterpret anything Christians do from bigotry or fear, a reason to point to us as if we are somehow being judgmental, when in fact we're merely doing our Christian duty to pray for our leaders, whether our leaders agree with us or not.
Christians should stay up with the times (as Kierkegaard said, keep the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other), and this book really is only for anyone so clueless they don't can't name world and business leaders on their own.

Summary: Great prayer tool
Comment: This is a great prayer tool for Christians in their daily devotions. It encourages people to prayer each day for a different influential person. A picture of the person and a concise article telling how the person influences the world is included for each day of the year. The authors encourage non-judgemental praying for all individual even those with whom people may disagree or find offensive.
