5.0 out of 5 stars A book to get you through the day, January 26, 2006

This review is from: The Power of a Praying® Parent Deluxe Edition (Omartian, Stormie) (Hardcover)

Like the book says, If your child is 3 or 33 this book is so inspirational. Everyday when I read a chapter it speaks volumes to me regarding my child. My children are in their 20's and 30's.I wish I had had this book when my children were first born. The prayers at the end of each chapter are exactly what is on my heart. I highly recommend this book. I have ordered additional copies for new parents to give as gifts as well to parents who have older children.

I just had my 2nd baby 3 months ago. My life as a stay home mom has been so stressful, chasing a toddler and caring for an infant. Plus, marital problems, which is now getting better. Thanks to prayers and counseling. The start of healing for my marital problems is that my husband and I agreed to have every Friday night our prayer night for our children using this book as a guide. I'm also reading The Power of a Praying Wife during my quite time (my baby "bjorned" mesmerized by her acrobatic older sister in the backyard) while I'm sipping by afternoon coffee and praying.

I had some clue on how to pray since I grew up as church goer, but I didn't have any clue on how to really have a conversation with God. I think cause I didn't have a good relationship with my dad -- he was an absentee dad (blaming work). In my heart, there are so many things I want to chit chat about with God, but I just didn't know how. We learn our ABCs in school, English 101 in college and all that stuff, but communication with God... it's a skill I definitely need to improve. This book is wonderful. It's a blessing. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Parenting, June 11, 2009

By	Cynthia P. Horton "worshiper" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Power of a Praying® Parent (Power of Praying) (Paperback)

I have read this book many times as my child was growing up. It never occured to me to read it again when the trials of life came at age 18. It truly changed the way I prayed and helped me to realize that. even when I felt so out of control, the Holy Spirit was guiding my parenting. Thanks Stormie
