Best-selling author Stormie Omartian has partnered with Media Connect Partners (MCP) to coordinate social media promotion for her forthcoming "Power of a Praying" release.

Harvest House Publishers is set to release Omartian's Prayer Warrior Prayer and Study Guide and the Prayer Warrior Book of Prayers in September. Harvest House will also release the Prayer Warrior Deluxe Edition in October.

"MCP is working with Stormie and Harvest House to create a robust and comprehensive social media presence," said MCP CEO Brian Boyd. "We are honored to manage Stormie's Twitter and Facebook activities as well as helping to develop content for YouTube and taking advantage of new social media opportunities so that people can have an ongoing conversation with Stormie.

"In addition to sharing her message of hope, we are working to keep people in the know," he added. "Whether it's first word of a new book release, details of a book signing or an appearance, our social media efforts are designed to keep people connected with Stormie."

Harvest House Vice President of Marketing Barb Sherrill noted that Omartian "has a powerful testimony."

"This has given her the unique ability to impact millions of readers by sharing her incredible experiences and firsthand lessons of how God can transform a life," she said. "MCP is helping us and her reach people who want daily inspiration, who want to learn how to pray powerfully and stay in touch with her, as well as reach those who may not be aware of Stormie's amazing life story."

Omartian has written more than 50 books, which have sold more than 23 million copies, including The Power of a Praying Wife, The Power of a Praying Parent and The Power of a Praying Woman.

"Social media allows me to instantly share encouraging messages that illustrate how God changes lives when we learn to trust in Him, live His way, seek His will and follow His lead no matter what," Omartian said. "It allows me to share with people as many times a day as possible, and it allows them to share with me in an intimate way."
