Book Review
"The Power of a Praying Woman" is great for women of all ages who want to grow in their relationship with the Lord. To grow in the Lord you must effectively communicate with Him through prayer. This principle is the underlining theme of this book.
Stormie gives candid examples of her own prayer life which makes this book so relatable yet encouraging to those of us who strive to include prayer in every area of our lives. In addition, it is quite evident that Stormie is deeply rooted in the word of God.
"The Power of a Praying Woman" has definitely made me realize the importance of an active prayer life and in someway lit a spark within me to become more of a "prayer warrior." What do I mean by "prayer warrior?" Well let's just say I pray about everything...as I should, because my God said I could (Philippians 4:6-7). This potential was always within me but I really didn't realize it until I read this book.
If you're in need of a little encouragement in the area of getting your prayer life in check I definitely recommend this book. And just in case you were wondering it's a great and easy read.
I was looking for a book that could boost up my prayer life. I will def. keep this one in mind.
