The Power of a Praying Wife

The trials and pressures of modern life can make the prospects of a fulfilled, meaningful marriage seem impossible. In The Power of a Praying Wife, popular Christian author and speaker Stormie Omartian pinpoints common marital struggles and reveals the miraculous way that disciplined prayer can alleviate heartache and sustain unity. According to Omartian, a marriage's success depends upon "laying down all claim to power in and of yourself, and relying on God's power to transform you, your husband, your circumstances and your marriage." Omartian attributes the success of her own 25-year marriage to dedicated prayer for every area--however specific--of her husband's life: from his finances and his work, to his integrity and his temptations. Each chapter offers insight into areas that are especially important to men, followed by "power tools" (inspiring, topical scripture) to guide one's prayer life and transform a woman's mind with regard to her husband. This practical read will encourage women to trust God to change their spouse, and undoubtedly refocus one's perspective on God's power rather than one's own personal predicament. --Jill Heatherly

I am currently engaged to a man living many miles away from me. After a failed first marriage, I am determined that, with Gods help, this marriage would be as perfect as it could be. I saw this book on our Church bookstall, and bought it. I began to put the prayers into action, and have been so blessed by the results. Even my fiance says he can see the difference, and feels the love and support he needs so far away. An absolute MUST for every woman who is about to get married, or is married - regardless of the time. It will change your husband, it will change you and you will be so blessed.

This book gives an invaluable insight into the way your husbands mind works! The author takes an honest approach to married life and in 30 short sections guides you on how to pray practically for your man! I found this book amazing and noticed a change in both me & my husband. Stormie helps to put married life in a different perspective allowing us to pray instead of worry. Goodness knows marriage can be hard enough, this is a must for wives who want God to enrich their marriages, not just the ones that need some help. Highly recommended.

This book is awesome and totally a way of life. - Rated
I have read this book and I believe that all the prayers in the book have opened my eyes and totally changed my "outlook on life". I have already seen a total "turn around" in mine and my husbands relationship. This was a gift from my daughter and it has touched me deeply.

A must read for every Christian wife - Rated
I picked this book up a couple of hours ago and I cannot put it down. There is nothing 'new' in this book, but it does bring together, in one very readable format, many profound truths that would really turn a marriage around. I have been married 15 years and I know that the truths laid out here really work; and a lot of it is hard work! I came on line because I borrowed this copy and now I want my own!
