In Words That Changed History, a father and son will take you on a journey of words that can affect lives. In this book, you will read fresh perspectives on some of the most familiar stories of the Bible, like the creation, the prodigal son, the second coming, and judgment day. For each of these narratives, the authors interpret how one word can alter your understanding of the text. Spit, coal, midrash, four-out-up, and Judas: read how these words can bring new life to ancient stories. The narratives of the Bible started conversations thousands of years ago; this book is an invitation to reconsider these words.

Can words really change the world? From the absurd to the inspirational, from the divine to the diabolical, these are the speeches that have changed history, and left their mark on the world today. To read of Elizabeth I addressing her troops before the Spanish Armada, or Martin Luther King urging the American population for racial equality is to understand the tremendous power of language to inspire, to comfort, to move or to enthuse an audience. It is inspiring to hear the words of people whose gift was to know what to say, when to say it, and how to phrase it, often in language so powerful, so eloquent and so beautiful that we remember their words centuries after they were first spoken. I Have a Dream includes some of the greatest, most celebrated speeches, such as Pericles' funeral oration in Athens in the fifth century BC, as well as lesser-known speeches, such as Lieutenant- Colonel Tim Collins' eve-of-battle address to his soldiers in Iraq in 2003 - all of which deserve to be celebrated and credited by modern audiences. Here is an enjoyable collection of the greatest speeches that have been delivered throughout history, prefaced by brief historical and biographical introductions. This small but perfectly formed book reveals the fascinating stories behind some of the most powerful words ever spoken. Instant inspiration for even the nerviest public speaker.--SHORTLIST This book reminds us about past greatness (...) It is impossible not to be moved, inspired, incensed and outraged by some of the messages.--TRIBUNE MAGAZINE
