Fervent... A Sneak Peek
Welcome to Sneak Peek Saturday on Reading List!
Current book:
Fervent: A Woman's Battle Plan for Serious, Specific, and Strategic Prayer
Priscilla Shirer
Goodreads Summary:
You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t general or generic, not a one-size-fits-all. It’s specific. Personalized. Targeted.
So this book is your chance to strike back. With prayer. With a weapon that really works. Each chapter will guide you in crafting prayer strategies that hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you’re on to him and that you won’t back down. Because with every new strategy you build, you’re turning the fiercest battles of life into precise strikes against him and his handiwork, each one infused with the power of God’s Spirit.
New York Times bestselling author Priscilla Shirer, widely known for her international speaking, teaching, and writing ministries, brings her new role from the 2015 film War Room into the real lives of today’s women, addressing the topics that affect them most: renewing their passion , refocusing their identity , negotiating family strife, dealing with relentless regrets , navigating impossible schedules , succeeding against temptation , weathering their worst fears , uprooting bitterness , and more. Each chapter exposes the enemy’s cruel, crafty intentions in all kinds of these areas, then equips and encourages you to write out your own personalized prayer strategies on tear-out sheets you can post and pray over yourself and your loved ones on a regular basis.
Fervent is a hands-on, knees-down, don’t-give-up action guide to practical, purposeful praying.

Sneak Peek:
"The false ideologies of the culture obsession with appearance, perceptions of worth, the redefinition of the family, all of it, have not been developed by chance. Don't believe it for a second." p 45
Initial Thoughts
This is the final book from Shirer that is related to War Room for me, I have officially read the books and studies. I love the study so much I had to pick up this book. But for me, it was a major let down. It did not motivate me to really dig into prayer like the study did. While I love Shirer's writing style, this one fell a little flat. But I know for many it will be wonderful, so if you are curious, you should check it out!
