Have I been drinking the Kool-Aid or is this the best book that I have ever read?

I am a prayer warrior but I don't go around advertising it. People who are close to me know that if they call me with a prayer request that I will pray for them a hundred times over. I jokingly say that I have a direct line to God because often times, my prayers are answered. I make a practice of praying. I pray at stop signs, while I'm loading the dishwasher, or changing a diaper. I see any regular moment as an opportunity to pray.

I don't discuss my spirituality often. If someone asks me about my beliefs, I will tell them but it's not open for a theological discussion. My spirit is mine and my heart is free to believe in prayer. Your heart is free too, I'm not here to change anyone. I can only be in charge of my own heart.

Yet, there is this book that I read that has changed my life. It has changed my husband's life and he doesn't even know it. I discovered it one day when I was seeking refuge at the grocery store a few years ago (click here to find out why I consider a trip to the grocery store a form of therapy). My husband was out of a job and depressed. I floated around the aisles praying, crying, and hoping that no one was staring at me. My eyes happened to fall upon this book...

The Power of the Praying Wife

I picked it up and tossed it into the shopping cart without even batting a teary eyelash. When I later read it, I discovered a key to changing my life. Let me interject here and tell you that if I had picked up this book six years ago I would have slammed it shut and tossed it into the trash within the first chapter. It has some seriously old school biblical views. Frankly, I am shocked that I not only read the book but totally immersed myself into it. The photo of the author looks like a lady at church who would have given me the stink eye as a teenager because I was painting my fingernails during the sermon. I mean, look at her...

"Hi, my name is Stormie and
I eat bad little girls for lunch."

I digress...something within me found comfort in her words. Each chapter is a meditation of prayer for your husband. From finances to his integrity, this book has 30 devotions that you do daily. It's backed up with bible verses and has a script at the end of each chapter. If you read this book for one month, by the end of the month you would have prayed for every aspect of your husband's life.

Let me tell you something, this book is like gold. After I read it, my husband found a job within 2 weeks. Any time I sense that he is misdirected or just feeling down, I'll bust out this book and pray. Just a few weeks ago, I pulled out this book and within a week Roger got a raise at work. It's magical! It's also better than me riding his ass all the time and trying to control things that I can't change.

In conclusion, if you have a servant's heart and are willing to get down on your knees, buy this book and let the praying commence. If this is not really your thing and just the look of Stormie scares you, then simply move along but do it quietly please...I'm not open for business if you don't like what I'm selling, if ya know what I mean!
