SAINT MONICA: The Power of a Mother's Prayer For every mother who has ever wept for a wandering child, for every believer who has ever begged God for a loved one's conversion-this is your story. Saint Monica was not a queen, a theologian, or a warrior, yet her relentless faith altered the course of history. Her son, Augustine, was brilliant but rebellious, drawn to pleasure, heresy, and worldly success. He rejected her teachings, abandoned her faith, and left her heartbroken. But Monica refused to give up. Through decades of prayer, fasting, and unwavering love, she pursued his soul with a devotion that would shake the gates of heaven. This book takes you deep into the struggles, tears, and triumphs of one of the most extraordinary women in Christian history. You will walk beside Monica through the pain of a difficult marriage, the agony of watching her son spiral into sin, the desperate chase across continents to save him, and the miraculous moment when God answered her prayers beyond her wildest dreams. Saint Augustine's conversion is one of the greatest in history-but behind it stood a mother whose prayers never wavered, even when all seemed lost. More than a biography, Saint Monica: The Power of a Mother's Prayers is a guide for anyone who has ever pleaded with God in the darkness. It is a testament to the truth that no soul is beyond the reach of grace and no prayer goes unheard. If you have ever feared that your prayers are in vain, let Monica's story rekindle your hope. If you have ever struggled with a loved one's rejection of faith, let her journey inspire you to persevere. The God who answered Monica's prayers is the same God who hears yours. Never stop praying-miracles still happen.
