Excellent guidance, insight and prayers. I especially like that she allows the wife to look at and pray for her own shortcomings

Every day I read a prayer from her collection. There is a prayer for every thought or need a woman might have.

The first Power of a Praying Wife was excellent, this new version is even better. In this version Stormie has included prayers for the wife as well as the husband. Instead of separate prayers though, the suggested prayer is inclusive which makes it even stronger and better. The chapters are 3 to 4 pages devoted to one subject with a short prayer at the end. One of the most important duties of a wife is to pray for her husband, her marriage, and herself so that God becomes the focus and giver of blessings. The chapters in this book are very well titled giving the exact point that is covered making it extremely easy to be specific when you are searching for a topic that covers your current situation. Under each title is a short bible verse that fits the topic in a positive manner. Definitely a great reference book to keep on your prayer table.

"The Power of a Praying Wife Devotional," is different than other devotionals that I use. It is set up in a way that allows us to focus on praying not only for our marriage, and husband, but also to to focus on praying for ourselves.I think often as wives,mothers and caretakers we often forget the importance of praying for ourselves, but Ms. Omartian gently reminds us that when we pray for ourselves it affects our spirit,soul and body as well as our marriage. The author actually devotes one third of the book to devotions and prayers for the husband, and one third of the book to us as wives and a third to our marriage. Instead of doing this by sections she alternates between the three. Their are one hundred devotions which cover many issues and struggles found in many marriages.
I usually never read a devotional from cover to cover, and its no different with this one, I instead use the table of contents to lead me to topics that are relevant to my marriage and have found the prayers and scriptures very useful.Each chapter is short but has plenty of substance, because of the insight provided by the author. They are each typically two and 1/2 pages and begins with a scripture, a devotional and then a prayer.I have never had the pleasure of reading anything else by this author, but this book makes me a fan and I will be looking up more of her work.
If your a married woman looking to strengthen your marriage then this book is a must have, but I think it would also make a great gift for someone about to be married as well.

I truly appreciate the concept of this book - having devotionals and prayers coming from the three perspectives of "I", "He", and "We" and all focused on a godly marriage. However, while there is truth in the pages, it is presented together with a very weak focus on the gospel and way too much focus on the act of prayer being the magic act needed for change. I believe there is power in prayer and I am not here to bash prayer in anyway, but I do not agree with phrases like: "The more you pray for your husband this way, the more his heart will become sensitive to the Holy Spirit's promptings." [In reference to an unsaved husband.] While I don't disagree with that being possible, I do disagree with the presentation that it will happen if you just pray these prayers. The focus on this book is heavily on our part in prayer rather than praying from a heart overwhelmed with Christ and the gospel.
Again, I appreciate the idea of this book, but I personally think it's lacking in a gospel centered focus and if you choose to read it I highly recommend reading with great discernment.

Do you aspire to be a wife with a powerful prayer life? The Power of a Praying Wife Devotional by Stormie Omartian teaches new ways to pray that contribute to a healthy and fulfilling marriage. The Power of a Praying Wife Devotional features 100 insightful devotions and related prayers that are easy-to-read and convenient for busy schedules. The devotions vary in topic, but one-third of them focus on praying for yourself, one-third focus on praying for your husband, and one-third focus on praying for your marriage relationship. The devotionals are not grouped by prayer focus and do not have to be read in a specific order.
In the interest of reviewing The Power of a Praying Wife Devotional by Stormie Omartian in a timely manner, I did not read the entire book prior to writing this review. However, I have been reading it for nearly three weeks and have finished a substantial portion of the book. Everything appears to be correctly aligned with Scripture and the pre-prayer devotionals are filled with wisdom.
I used this book to supplement my daily devotions and read between one to three of the devotions per day. I can see myself reusing this book over and over. I found that the prayers helped me to learn a new pattern of praying and provided ideas of ways to pray for my husband. I've even found myself praying for my husband more throughout the day. While I don't remember the exact words from the prayers at those times, I do remember the pattern I've learned.
I highly recommend this book to any woman who is a wife or soon-to-be wife.

Stormie OMarrtian, author of tons of "The Power of a Praying..." books, has written a devotional based on her popular book, "The Power of a Praying Wife". This devotional is not a day-to-day devotional but a subject devotional. Covering over 100 different subjects, this devotional helps a prayerful wife pray for her husband, herself, and her marriage.
I like that each devotion has a scripture, a story, and a prayer. The topics are relevant to todays married couples. I kind of enjoyed the fact that this is not a day to day type of devotional. I can look up in the table of contents whatever I am going through in my marriage and find a scripture, a story, and a prayer. I recommend this book to wives out there who are looking for something they can do to improve thier marriages. Also, if you already own "The Power of a Praying Wife", you want to check this out!
