Blessed is the wife whose husband offers prayers on me behalf such as those in this book. Blessed is the man who prays them, for by Case’s example he will learn how to pray through a passage of Scripture for anything, not just for matters regarding his wife.

Of all the things a wife can do for her husband, of all the many ways she can show her support, nothing tops the prayers she offers up before the Throne. And it’s the wise wife who, when she prays, recognizes how her marriage—even her own life—is being strengthened and deepened. God sees when women kneel in prayer for their husbands, and Prayers of an Excellent Wife provides the reader with all the scriptural principles and language needed to cover a man with powerful intercession—prayers so effective, they’ll resonate throughout his life.”

What better words to pray for our husbands than the very words of his Maker? Prayers of an Excellent Wife provides a guide for humbly engaging in the joyful duty of intercession, petition and thanksgiving for our husbands. I am delighted to speak these prayers with and on behalf of Matt.

Charles Spurgeon said we can do our husband “no truer kindness in the world” than to pray for him. Yet as wives, we often struggle to pray consistently for our husbands. We forget in the busyness of life; or when we do remember, our prayers may lack clarity and direction. That’s what makes this book such a valuable tool for any wife who wants to grow in praying for her husband—and isn’t that all of us? Prayers of an Excellent Wife will inspire you to pray faithfully and fervently, and instruct you how to pray according to Scripture. I hope many wives will use these prayers to lavish their husbands with kindness.

There are lots of ‘parenting resources’ out there for Moms and Dads, on all kinds of important issues ranging from discipline to talking about sex to family vacations. One of the most important responsibilities of fathers and mothers, however, is to pray for and with their children. This book, drawn mostly right from Holy Scripture, can be a spur to your family to get off the couch and away from the television and on your knees praying for the salvation and welfare of your children.

This is sort of a strange book. It's simply a few hundred pages of prayers based on scripture (along with occasional quotes from famous authors). The prayers are well done, if a little beholden to religiousy language, but they're not organized thematically, explained, etc.
