In the year 1927

  • Charles Lindbergh flew the Spirit of St. Louis nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean
  • Henry Ford revealed Ford’s newest vehicle, the Model A , and
  • Ray Oehrtmann was born to Frederick and Mary Oehrtmann in Lafayette, Indiana, the youngest of five children.

Little did his parents know that they would experience the Great Depression, that Ray and his brother, Bob, would fight in a World War, and that Ray would move to Colorado, where he eventually worked on machining parts for the United States space station, Skylab. In Through Faith & Prayer, Ray’s love for life shines through as he shares his stories.

Travel back in time with Ray as he takes you with him on some of his favorite adventures over the last 97 years.

I found myself imagining what life was like during those earlier decades and appreciating how much the world has changed. The faith and gratitude woven throughout the memories added something special. Definitely worth a listen.

Unlike many Christian audiobooks that focus on theology, devotionals, or teaching, Through Faith and Prayer is primarily a life story. It chronicles Ray Oehrtmann's experiences from childhood through nearly a century of American history, including the Great Depression, World War II, industrial work, family life, and his enduring Christian faith.
