Book Review: Couples who Pray: The Most Intimate Act Between a Man and a Woman

Squire Rushnell, Louise DuArt. Couples who Pray: The Most Intimate Act Between a Man and a Woman. Thomas Nelson, 2011. 224 pages.

Thank you to BookSneeze® for providing a free copy of this book for me to review.

The main purpose of this book is to provide a 40 day prayer challenge for couples. To get you started, it includes a questionnaire which is helpful for understanding where you stand as a couple in prayer life.
I was very excited to read this book after requesting it from booksneeze.com. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer and was hoping this book would provide addition insight for my marriage.
The writing is clear and easy to understand. The book also provides personal accounts from famous and not-so-famous couples. I did enjoy the personal accounts the book offered but I wish it included more scripture references. For me, this book reinforced my already standing beliefs of the power of prayer especially in marriage. For newly engaged or married couples I would recommend this book. For couples who already have a prayer routine established, this book will have little to offer, only just reinforcing your beliefs. Or if you just enjoying reading other peoples accounts of the power of prayer in marriage, then you will probably enjoy this book.
Overall, I would rate this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars. If it was full of scripture references I probably would have rated it higher.

This book was provided for free to me from Booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review, positive or negative.
