We are using this as a Women's Bible Study and have found it very interesting. We are all learning more about the Holy Spirit. The information is also helpful when praying for grandchildren.

I have read and refer to this book often on my faith journey with my own adult children. I have gifted many of my friends with their own copy of this book. I love it and recommend it highly! Thanks to the author for writing such a wonderful manuscript!

Bought 2 for friends and 1 for us. We see our adult children struggling. Stormie gives Holy Spirit inspired prayers which I will be praying with fasting until He releases me. Satan can't have our adult children! They belong to Elohim.....

Adult students are challenged by the faith in the power of prayer. They question the justice/injustice of life events so the book pushes the borders of our 'rational' thinking. The prayer guide challenges us toward honesty in our faith.

I have prayed for my daughter all her life but not as specific as this book directs me too. It teaches me to put deeper faith in God and watch my daughter grow. It also helps me pray for my son-in law.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and it is great! I would recommend it to any parent with adult children. Reading it has helped me not worry so much and put my trust in God because He is in control, and He loves my children!!! Great buy.

This is a WONDERFUL book. I had extremely high expectations after my sister recommended it, and found it even better. This book is not for lazy parents. Stormie points out our need to get right with God first and to be willing to spend serious time in prayer and fasting for our adult children as we fight a spiritual battle for them. It gives specific scriptures, prayer topics and guidance, and prayers as well as hope for parents of adult children who have run fast and far down the wrong road. It is so rich and full of wisdom that I will read and re-read it as well as buy copies for others.

This book has helped me to stay focused when praying for my adult children. I get overwhelmed at times by the needs and desperate prayers that I pray for them. When I read this it helps me to not operate in fear or emotion. Then, to leave the results to God. I have had more peace since reading this book.

I've never been disappointed with any of her books and this is no exception! It is good for anyone to read, but especially if you have adult children.

The book was full of great scripture based prayers, however, I was looking for a book of prayers to pray over my college student. This book is truly geared towards adult kids out of college. I realize it can be adapted to college age kids, but the power of praying for my teen spoiled me, as its prayers were focused on what that age group faced. Still looking, any suggestions?

This book has truly provided a parent valuable insight and scripture verses when praying for their adult children. I found the topics covered to be very revelant for the situations adult children face. It brought peace to my heart as I prayed for my children.

I have only read the first chapter in this book, but it has so much information I feel the need to go back and reread it. I just ordered the prayers and study guide. I am so pleased with this so far, I can't wait to read more. This is my first book by Stormie and I will definately be ordering more.

It was too complex. There is no way that you could pray all those things for your children. The concept is good but not practical to follow. Sorry.
