Valentine’s Day is a day for celebrating all kinds of love –and especially
for husbands and wives. Mission Possible
is a wonderful read for any Christian woman who loves
her husband, especially for a wife who is determined to pray her husband into
the kingdom.
Prayer makes all the difference in our relationship with God. I prayed
my mother into the kingdom—at least I felt like it gave me the assurance of her
salvation. It took many years, but today she is a walking example of steadfastness
in prayer.
While I didn’t pray my ex-husband into the kingdom, I take comfort
in the fact that I did pray anyway—and even hid a prayer letter in a book that my
ex took with him following our divorce. The outcome is always in God’s hands. As
long as my ex-husband is living, there is hope he will be saved. May all married
women find comfort in this delightful Valentine’s read that will help them to
keep on keeping on—don’t give up. Eternity
is forever.
Review by Lorilyn Roberts
The Value of the Praying Wife for the Unsaved Husband
Mission Possible is a well-written book that should encourage and
instruct any wife who yearns for a Godly husband--who loves him enough to pray
for his eternal salvation even when she doesn't see any fruit in the present.
Ms. McCarragher's insights into how to be a Godly wife and "helpmeet"
are supported with Scriptural references that give profound wisdom to help
anyone struggling in this area.
Even
though I am not married, I found much Godly wisdom as a single woman to apply
in my walk with God, knowing these kernels of truth have application not just
in marriage but in all relationships--including children and friends. We never
know how God is working to bring about a miracle in all the lives we touch.
This book is a must-read for anyone who is committed to prayer, steadfastness,
and faith for a Godly marriage and home.
Valentine’s Day
is all about showing love to your spouse, parents, children, and those you care
about the most. As a Christian woman, there is only one way to love your husband… with the love of Christ. This Valentine’s
Day give your Heavenly Father a gift that will keep on giving – namely –
the decision to love your husband as God intended while you are living in a
spiritually mismatched marriage.

Women, are you in an unequally-yoked
marriage? Are you tired of attending
church alone? Do you yearn for a relationship with your husband that’s

Your mission, if you choose to accept
it, is to stand in the gap for your mate’s soul. This small book is a powerful
tool for any woman who is married to a man who does not share her passion for
Jesus. It will encourage and challenge the reader to embrace God’s promises for
their spouse and future together.

“For the unbelieving husband is
sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband;
otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy…For how do you
know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband
whether you will save your wife?” (I
Corinthians 7:14,16 NKJ)

Thank you, Deborah, for the call to action. We have to remember that in all the armor God gave to us, He never once mentioned knee pads. I suppose He didn't want anything to hinder us in our prayers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda - so glad He hears out passionate prayers whether we're on our knees, sitting, standing or prostrate :D
DeleteThere are few things more fulfilling, as a wife, than praying for my husband.
ReplyDeleteHallee
Hi Hallee. Prayer indeed opens the heart wide :D
DeleteThank you, Deborah, for sharing this post.
ReplyDeleteIn this connection, be reminded of the verse that I can do everything through Christ who strengthen me. To our Mighty and Living God, there is no impossible thing.
God Bless,
