I have read reviews that said God shouldn't be treated like a genie and I couldn't agree more. However, I do not get the sense that Omartian ever does this in her book. Her 30 day mini prayers are an invaluable guide for me when I am daily praying for my husband. Note: I said GUIDE, not incantation. I thought it was a great book from start to finish and a must for any woman's library that prays for her husband.
