Short chapters were easy to read, and some packed a lot of insight into a few paragraphs. Others oversimplified complex issues. Few things have ever made me angrier than reading her suggestion that a woman was murdered by her abusive husband because she had failed to pray enough. Also troubled by descriptions of anxiety and depression as things that WILL disappear after a single prayer of faith. Literally Jesus Himself told people that suffering or a lack of healing is not punishment for anything a person or their family did wrong. God can and will do amazing things, and His failure to do it on MY timeline is not evidence against Him or of weakness of my own faith. Two stars for those chapters that were reminders of underappreciated character qualities Christian women should seek to cultivate.… (more)

I remember Omartian's songs (with her husband) from early Contemporary Christian music radio. She shares her journey to Christianity and her growth process in the book and discusses how prayer plays an important part in spiritual growth. The book offers an introduction and chapters designed to be read daily for almost three weeks. The book will be of most benefit to someone new to the faith. Each daily section ends with a daily prayer prompt and relevant Bible verses.

This audio book tackles many rough issues of life and explains so clearly the Bublical perspective on how to cope. It addresses dreams, desires, hopes, fears, concerns and needs. Stormie Onartin's style reminds me of Joyce Meyers. Prayer is the key to change.
