In 1985, Jack O Ryan read The Power of Prayer and immediately began a regimen of thrice-daily fervent prayer. Three years later, not only had he received the grace of God, but he had become as a good a fiddler as ever fiddled on a string. He now routinely plays with orchestras of world renown as a soloist, and is able to fiddle milk out of a maiden's breast!
In 1991, Brian Wise read The Power of Prayer and scoffed. He now scrapes out a meager keep shoveling pig shit beneath Bartertown, with only hogs, Tina Turner, and his vain regrets to occupy his thoughts.
Don't let this happen to you!
