• The Couples Who Pray book takes men and women step-by-step through The 40 Day Prayer Challenge™… a commitment to pray together a minimum of 5 minutes a day for 40 days.

• 24 couples with marriages ranging from 2 years to 25 years signed up to take the challenge. Virtually all reported back with ecstatic phrases like:
  "a life-changing experience!" - "unbelievable" - "why hasn’t anyone ever suggested this before?"
