"You want the best for your kids. You are in great company. Stormie Omartian and her husband, Michael, spent 20 years raising their children...and more than 35 years praying for them." This back-cover comment attracted me to read more from this book!

This is a book that a mom from my mom's group recommended for our book study on parenting a few years ago. We used it and loved it! It is a relevant and practical book that can help all parents learn and follow how to put our child's life in God's loving hands in all different aspects of life and relationships through prayer.

In 32 short and easy-to-read chapters, she shares how you can pray through each stage of your child's life, from early childhood through adulthood, on aspects of health, body care, gifts and talents, holiness & purity, fear, sound mind, perfect mate, addictions, etc. All are relevant topics that many parents may consider and be concerned about for raising their kids, including me.

She is the bestselling author of The Power of a Praying Series and this is one of them. My mom's group used both this one and another one on praying for your husband for our book study. I used many heartfelt prayers from both books to pray over my kids and husband. I did see how God amazingly answered some of those prayers. I pray that you will experience the same when you read this book and pray accordingly!
