This 60-day prayer experience can change a woman's life forever. Sixty influential Christian women-such as author Liz Curtis Higgs; author Ruth Graham, daughter of evangelist Billy Graham; singer and songwriter Babby Mason; and author Kay Warren, wife of Pastor Rick Warren- share how their lives have changed. This book can be used by itself as a daily devotional. However, if women read through Praying for Purpose as a devotional while reading Pathway to Purpose, their whole experience will be deepened and solidified.
