Author, Allison, is a friend of Lisa, the founder of Rest Ministries. When Sept 11th happened, Allison had just had a couple of GAUT books published and Lisa was doing her web site. Allison immediely emailed Lisa and asked, "What can we do?" When her book idea was formed Lisa did the internet marketing to quickly start collecting stories. This book is the amazing product.

September 11...Columbine High School...Vietnam...the Great Depression. There are many terrible moments in American history that horrified us as a nation-but that also turned people's hearts toward God. In this special God Allows U-Turns book, the fourth in Allison Gappa Bottke's acclaimed series, Americans relate how national trials brought them to their knees-first in shock, then in prayer. Dramatic stories relate how even the worst imaginable occurrences can be used by God for His purposes. God Allows U-Turns: American Moments is an important reminder of His sovereignty in world affairs-as well as in the lives of individual people.

This is a great book for someone who is serving our country right now. If you know someone in Iraq, this would make a great gift of encouragement.
