I've read the first few chapters of Stormie OMartian's The Power of a Praying Wife and I have to say that so far, I'm a little disappointed. Please don't get what I'm not say; this book has some vitally important stuff in it, like that wives should pray for their husbands and scriptural references for different subjects, etc. OMartian has even written out prayers based on the Scriptures at the end of each chapter.
It just seems a little light. Perhaps it is designed for someone who is a new prayer/believer? I know that I'm blessed to have the husband that I do and that he and I have discussed and prayed through many things together in the past five years of our dating and married life together. Maybe it's just that I chose to read this book at a time when there is limited to no real strife in my marriage, so I'm not desperate for a "fix all".
I like quick chapters that I can read in a few minutes but I have found that many of these barely scratch the surface and sometimes teeter along the fine line of "if you pray for this, you will get this desired result". That kind of teaching is not Biblical. But prayer, IS. So I take a Nike approach to it...just do it!
