How to Pray When He Doesn't Believe

by Mo Tizzard, Maureen Tizzard

"I will come home if you don't talk about God anymore." "I don't want you going to church or any more meetings." "And I don't want you to have anything more to do with that woman who took you there." These were just some of the demands Mo Tizzard's husband gave her when she became a Christian. Like countless other new believers, Mo was faced with the disturbing challenge of wanting to love and serve God—and also wanting to please her unbelieving husband. No matter how hard she tried, the conflicts persisted and nearly resulted in lost love. But Mo was faithful to persevere! How to Pray When He Doesn't Believe offers authentic encouragement to every woman who is married to an unbeliever and speaks to the real issues of unequal faith (submission, the cost of faith, and God's perfect timing) in practical ways as only someone who has "walked the walk" can do. If you are married to an ubeliever, allow Mo Tizzard to come alongside you and share how she learned to walk with God and her husband, and saw her home restored!

Rating clarification: 3.5 stars

Quite an encouraging book outlining Tizzard's experience and her various pointers to consider when anyone is in a similar situation. The language is fairly simplistic and accessible to most. She suggests that if we follow her steps that the partner will be saved by "continually resisting the enemy and being obedient to what God told her to do" - while that's not biblically incorrect, I'm not sure that one-size-fits-all. I do agree that we should stand firm in God and keep persevering out of love though.
