Amazon.com Review
The trials and pressures of modern life can make the prospect 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 have had this book for two months. It's a book with specific chapters for specific needs. It does not have to be read front to back. I recommend reading through the first chapter "His Wife". You think you're reading about how to "help" or even "change" your husband...you soon discover the Lord showing you things in your own life that need prayer and change! Don't you hate it when that happens? Me too. But, if you allow the Lord to speak to you through Stormie's writing and experience, you will not believe what happens! It is difficult to put into words the change that has taken place...in me. Attitudes, expectations, desires, wants, and needs, are all addressed. Biblically. I go to different chapters at different times on different days. Lately, I have been reading it along with Scripture in my personal time. I've known my husband since 7 yrs. old and have been married for 23 yrs. God is always faithful and always good. He will teach us if we take the time to listen. Married? Engaged? Hope to get married? Get this book. Then, read it. Then pray. Then apply it. God Bless.

I came across this book just in time(God's time that is). I was separated from my husband of 8yrs and had an appointment with my attourney already scheduled to file for a divorce. A friend reccomended the book and as soon as I read the first chapter, I knew I had to give it just one more chance. I wish I'd read it sooner but I probably wasn't ready to listen yet! Through this book, God gave me a whole new perspective and convinced my hard head that I needed to change, too, not just my husband. I had always prayed for our marriage, but the book outlined specific areas to pray for and included specific prayers and scriptures. I was too busy praying for what I wanted and not what God wanted. I thought that too much had happened between us for our marriage to be repaired and the only option left was divorce, even though I didn't want or believe in it. Stormie talked about some of the very issues our marriage had faced such as infidelity, financial trouble, a chronically ill child, loss of a child, mental illness, and many misunderstandings. It helped me to realize that our marriage was worth working on and that maybe God had a plan for us after all! It also helped to get my priorities straight and to build a stronger relationship with God, as well as with my husband. I thank God for moving Stormie to write this book and share this information with the rest of us struggling to make our marriages work! I reccomend this book to anyone experiencing marital difficulties as well as those who want to prevent them!

I've been a Christian for 36 years. I celebrated my 29th wedding anniversary this past August. I am an avid reader of books written about "Christian Living" or "how to" books, etc. NEVER before have I read such an "ON TARGET" book geared to the imperative need for prayer in the marriage and in the home. Medicine is not always "easy" to take. Sometimes we "forego" the medicine and think we can get "better" on our own. Sometimes, this may be the case...but in my experience I have found that this book is one that I definitely keep among my reference books. When I find a great book that has benefitted my life in some way, I usually like to recommend it to a friend or maybe buy it and give it as a birthday or Christmas gift. BUT THIS BOOK...I have bought nearly a dozen copies and given as gifts to friends and family. What I have realized is that when my husband seems to "deserve" my intercession (prayers) the least is when I should pray the MOST! When you interceed for your husband in areas of HIS life then you will undoubtedly benefit your own! If you cannot identify with the author's first chapter of the book (re: her own troubled marriage)...do not put the book down and say "I don't have THAT problem"...continue on - because regardless of your circumstances in life this book is a key that will help unlock the door of your mind to the endless ways that God desires to bless you and your husband and family. If there were a higher ranking than 5 stars, I would chose it. Every Christian woman who has a husband or is planning one day to have one, needs to get this book. Mine is dog-eared, highlighted, underlined, marked up with pen, pencil and with post-it notes. It is a treasured reference and guide book that I HIGHLY recommend.

I was struggling with my marriage until I was given copy of the book. It changed my perspectives of being a wife and got me on my knees. The day I started, I saw changes; changes first in myself, then in my relationship and finally with my husband. It's powerful! It's the most worthwhile investment I've ever made and I still use it daily.

Although I am not yet married, I believe the best thing to do for a "husband-to-be" is to show him the ultimate love language by praying. I have read this book 4 times, and I always gain new insight each time I flip through the pages. This book gave me new hope to a hopeless situation. I adapted "Change me Lord" to my life, and I am praying for specific items for the man in my life. Unfortunately he is not a christian as I am, but Stormie reminded me that with the power of God behind me, my boyfriend has a chance for eternal life. We are not able to be together at this time, but I am even more determined to lift him up to God in prayer. I don't understand why this had to happen, but it's our job to pray, and God's job to answer. I truly believe in my heart that we will happily be reunited again, and when that day comes I will know that God brought us together because of HIS will and not my own. I looked everywhere for a book that related to those of us who are not yet married, but are committed deeply to someone. I couldn't find anything, and then my mother gave me this book. She and her weekly bible study group were using it as a tool, and she thought that I might get some useful information from it. It has changed the way I pray forever. I appreciate how open and honest Stormie was about the trials in her own marriage. She opened my eyes to the power and the love Christ has for us. I highly recommend it to every woman who wants to build a lasting, loving, godly relationship. I look forward to reading more of her books! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
