Be a part of the scripture-prayer movement, and join others in reaping the benefits for your own love story. "Blessed is the wife whose husband offers prayers on her behalf such as those in this book." -DONALD S. WHITNEY, author of "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life" "A great idea and a most helpful and welcome book!" -JUSTIN TAYLOR, The Gospel Coalition, Crossway senior vice president and publisher By combining the two greatest powers on earth-scripture and prayer-Andrew Case not only shows husbands how to pray for our wives, but teaches us how to read scripture: prayerfully. This book is a gold mine. -MIKE MASON, Bestselling author of "The Mystery of Marriage" "For husbands, or men desiring to fill God's noble calling to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, Water of the Word provides not only a biblical framework, replete with verses to focus one's attention and catalyze one's spiritual thinking, but also beautiful prose to stir the soul of devotional prayer. More than a guidebook, it is rather a springboard to a deepening love relationship with God and with one's wife. I have used this book personally, as well as for a devotional guide for the Marriage Enrichment class here at Southern Seminary. A book to savor, reflect on, and then offer prayers from a pure heart and clear conscience." -WILLIAM R. CUTRER M.D., author of "Sexual Intimacy in Marriage" "Andrew Case has provided an ingenious and glorious tool for Christian husbands, one that has the potential of binding husbands and wives ever closer together while these prayers seek more intimate relationship between their wives and their God. By employing themes, principles, promises, and pleas from Scripture itself, Case has crafted hundreds of rich and meaningful prayers that any and every Christian husband can pray for his own wife. What power and insight one finds in these prayers, along with beauty and variety. Husbands here are led not only into specific prayers for their wives that focus on the central and most significant needs they have as women, but they are led also to cultivate better the habit of praying for their wives, and through this assisting the spiritual growth of those closest to them in all of life." -BRUCE A. WARE, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
