Why read it?

2 authors picked The Power of a Praying Wife as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I enjoy prayer and its importance in elevating me above circumstances. As I faced the difficulties of marriage, this book gave me hope and a way of positively moving forward. The depth of understanding of a husband's issues allows for prayer on a different level. Each chapter gave more insight as you prayed for your husband and yourself.

I never underestimate the power of prayer to change people, circumstances, and especially you. This book redirects your efforts to release the burdens and see your spouse and your situation differently.

This book has been a staple in my marriage. On the days when I am tired or need a reminder that my husband is, first and foremost, a child of God, I go back to this book.

Stormie’s prayers are so eloquently written and cover things that, early on, I would have never thought to pray for my husband. I have seen my marriage transform because of the prayers in this book.
