Hi, guys —

Stormie Omartian is a Christian author.

  • Does the Catholic Church approve of her books and are the books in line with Catholic teaching?

Hi, Cindy —

Thanks for the question.

I had no idea who Stormie Omartian is so I reviewed her website and some of the
(comments|reviews) from her books on Amazon.

Based on what I found out, it appears she is doing fine work for the Christian community.

Although her principles are solely biblically based rather than being both Church and Bible based,
I see nothing un-Christian or anti-Catholic in her background or in any of the book reviews
I read . . . some from Catholics.

Because her writings are coming from a non-Catholic Christian perspective, the Vatican would never officially approve her books, though I am sure they would be very pleased to have a colleague in the Christian Community like Stormie who appears to be very helpful in addressing marital and family life issues.

In my opinion, based on what I have read, she would, over time, make a good Catholic Christian.
If the Vatican had a concern over any of her specific books, you would probably hear about it.

Mike
