Pray Through History is one man’s humble attempt to see history from a God’s-eye-view. The author shares a bit of history, amplifies it, and then asks, “Father, where’s the grace and truth in this conflict?”
Narrative histories can sometimes reinforce our culture’s schisms. By viewing the events of Minnesota through conversational prayer with the Eternal One, our stories become “prayer-natives”! They acknowledge our historical points of separation, our offences to each other and the Lord, and invite His healing and blessing into the storyline of our State!
This book seeks to bring together our hearts and our heads. Knowing what happened engages our heads. Pondering why our ancestors chose the path they did engages our hearts. Furthermore, these stored memories can engage present and future Minnesotans as we consider how similar we are to our forebears. It ponders how the past either throws shadows or light on our current conflicts, and how we can choose to “give worth” to those who oppose us in the future.
Join author James D. Orvis in this adventure in “research intercession.” As more and more people pray over our beloved Minnesota, we’ll marvel together as God heals the past, frees the present, and blesses the future!

Thanks Mr. Paratrooper! As a vet, you’ve likely seen more hell than most of us. What gives me hope is that the Lord can turn any curse into blessing. Thanks for your service and the kind words!
I greatly appreciate you very kind sentiments, but I’m afraid these posts are about my father and his 11th Airborne; other posts deal with other related Pacific War info.
