The prayers range from the divine inspiration of Joan of Arc to Martin Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress," from George Washington's prayerful words to the newly formed American states to the horrors of Auschwitz, and from Constantine the Great's prayer before battle to Gandhi's deeply moving prayer of peace.
