This is Dr. Kimberly K. Clayton's published Doctoral Thesis where she set out to prove that prayer was the foundation for justice in some of the greatest names known to humanity. As you go on this investigative journey you will learn little to known facts about Ruby Bridges-Hall, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela (Mandiba) and Bishop Desmond Tutu. But most importantly you will learn that before they were great...THEY PRAYED to the Heavenly Father in Jesus Christ's name. They understood how prayer empowered them to carryout what was thought to be impossible! God also blessed Dr. Kimberly K. Clayton with The Prayer Empowerment Theory Framework, that shows how the thesis statement was proved and can be used to do further research. This was a honor and a privilege for Dr. Kimberly to investigate how prayer and social justice go hand and hand, especially since prayer is a passion of her's and how she has a heart for "The Least of These" Matthew 25:40.
