    About this ebook

    How often do you and your wife pray together? As Sam Ingrassia discovered when
    he asked himself that question, a candid answer is not necessarily a comfortable one. Perhaps yours isn’t, either.
    By following the guidance Sam offers in this book, you and your wife
    will open the windows of heaven to your relationship. You’ll experience a fresh
    dimension in your spiritual walk together, one that will bolster your marriage in
    the storms of life.

      Just Say the Word - Sam Ingrassia

      JUST SAY THE WORD

      ENDORSEMENTS

      Every husband needs help and encouragement in praying with his wife…Sam provides both in Just Say The Word. I’ve done what he recommends and it works! Try this for 30 days and your marriage will never be the same!

      Dr. Dennis Rainey

      Host, FamilyLife Today

      "Sam Ingrassia is on to something. For years I struggled when it came to praying with my wife. Why? Because she is light years ahead of me when it comes to getting in touch with God. And I’m a pastor! It seems that we men need help, and we need a plan. Well, here it is. Just Say the Word is a biblical and simple way for a husband and wife to pray together. Praying through the Scriptures, or expository praying, as Sam calls it, works. If you have tried and failed to keep a consistent prayer life with the love of your life, then this book is for you! My wife JoAnn and I hit our knees first thing in the morning and pray through the Bible together. We’re in the book of Hebrews right now, and our prayer time has never been better as a couple. Thank you, Sam! God’s hand is on this book. Pastors, this book will help marriages in your church. Challenge your men to read Just Say the Word."

      Tom Doyle

      Vice-President of e3 Partners Ministry

      Do you pray with your wife?’ Sam’s challenge to me hit me square in the heart because I wasn’t doing it. I realized that I cannot be the husband, the father, the man of God I desire to be if I don’t take care of and nurture the most important gift that God gave me — my wife. Just Say the Word lays out a road map for any man to follow the direction of the Holy Spirit and draw closer with his spouse through prayer. I encourage all husbands to take the first step and ‘Just Say the Word’ with their wives.

      Have you found it difficult—maybe impossible—to lead your home spiritually? For any man who answers yes to this question, Sam Ingrassia has great news! In a short read, Just Say the Word describes a simple practice you can start today, one that will transform your marriage and your life. Get it!

      Nate Larkin

      Author of Samson and the Pirate Monks:

      Calling Men to Authentic Brotherhood

      Founder of the Samson Society

      Of course, I should pray with my wife. I know that! What I don’t know is how to do it. This is the real problem. Don’t just tell me what to do. Help me find a way to do it.

      Sam Ingrassia does just that in his deeply personal and disarmingly transparent book. The problem is universal, and the solution is for every man who wants to be the spiritual leader in his home. Man, when you pray with her you plumb the depths of God’s promises covering that ancient and most precious of relationships. One flesh, He said, and meant it. Your marriage is in for a shot in the arm.

      INTRODUCTION

      BIBLICAL AND SIMPLE

      An epidemic afflicts our generation! Many—dare I say most—Christian men live with the burden lurking in their hearts and minds that they are failing to provide spiritual leadership for their wives. This is even true among godly Christian men who are helping others pursue God. We are not initiating regular and intentional spiritual connection with our wives. Sure, we share spiritual life from time to time, but not on a regular and intentional basis. What am I talking about? Simply this: Praying together.

      Be honest. Beyond dinner prayers, bedtime prayers with children or praying at church, in a typical week, how often do you and your wife pray together? Just the two of you?

      A candid answer is likely not a comfortable one. I know that because of the answers from my own life. I have also posed this question, eyeball to eyeball, with a host of Christian brothers. And I know how their answers fare.

      I know you don’t need any additional guilt today. Nor do I desire to load you further. It is important to recognize how we have failed because the admission can give way to the repentance of
