There are so many things we do not appreciate in our life until we recognize God's love for us in them.

— Stormie Omartian (b. 1942), Bestseller-Autorin und Sängerin

Stormie Omartian

Stormie Omartian (* 1942) ist eine US-amerikanische Bestseller-Autorin, Sprecherin und ehemalige Musikerin aus dem charismatisch-evangelikalen Umfeld. Weltweite Bekanntheit erlangte sie durch praktische Gebetsratgeber wie „The Power of a Praying Wife“, in denen sie persönliche Krisenerfahrungen mit Anleitungen zur Fürbitte für Familie und Alltag verknüpft. Während viele Bibelleser ihre leicht zugänglichen Gebetshilfen schätzen, kritisieren seelsorgerliche Stimmen schematische Gebetsmodelle und die Gefahr, dass ein Fokus auf Ausharren und Unterordnung die Dynamik missbräuchlicher Ehen verharmlosen kann.
