“How to Pray for your Wife: a 31-day Guide”
Since many Christian men don’t know how to pray for their wives, this daily prayer guide, based on the outline of Proverbs 31, helps men learn how to better intercede for their brides. We highly recommend this book for every husband (written by Mark Weathers, pastor of Providence).
How to Pray for your Wife can be purchased through Crossway Books & Bibles. Electronic versions are also available through iTunes.
