Children's Edition of Touching Incidents and Remarkable Answers to Prayer

Touching Incidents is a collection of short stories about miraculous occurrences that resulted from the power of prayer. The stories tell of souls being saved, of missionaries receiving money at just the right moment, of healings, and of protection from harm or death. James H. Potts describes the book as "a carefully selected list of incidents and statements showing the beauty, power and success of prayer."

For many years in our work among children, we have felt the need of something similar to this book. The cuts are made especially for this work. Pictures in this book will suggest thoughts of God and heaven and awaken desires to live pure lives which will sooner or later result in the salvation of many of our young readers. God bless all our readers.  —S. B. Shaw

We are sure these stories will interest you children (and most older people too). Especially good and true stories like these. In all that we have selected there are precious lessons of kindness and sympathy and obedience, gratitude, courage, and faithfulness: then there are two other very important lessons which I wish you to learn. The first is that children can be and should be true Christians, that is, have their sins forgiven for Jesus’ sake and their hearts changed so that they love God and the right and hate everything that is wrong. The second lesson is that we must be Christians to be ready to live or ready to die. You will find in this book several accounts of happy deaths of Christian children, and you will find also much that tells of the good done by happy Christian children that lived.  —Mrs. S. B. Shaw
