“Just as Julia Cameron in The Artist’s Way showed the hardened Harvard businessman he had a creative artist lurking within, MacBeth makes it astonishingly clear that anyone with a box of colors and some paper can have a conversation with God.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review Maybe you love color. Maybe you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractible or impatient soul, or a word-weary pray-er. Perhaps you struggle with a short attention span, a restless body, or a tendency to live in your head. Maybe your prayers feel more like a list for Santa Claus than a love letter to God, or you’re just bored with the same old prayers you’ve said since you were a toddler. Maybe you’re not sure that anyone out there is listening, or you just feel deep in your bones a hunger to know God better.

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.

Prayer is common to all faiths. It is not exclusive to the Christian believer. The Jews pray. Catholics pray. Muslims pray. Hindus pray. Buddhists pray. Scientologists pray. The question is when you pray what is your purpose? What's your goal, what is your intended result? Is it done as a part of a religious activity or is it done just to calm the soul or appease the mind? Or are you praying expecting an answer, a result? Well if you are like me, I utter prayer (whether spoken or unspoken) for the purpose of being heard and getting an answer. Even to the natural mind or a mere logical person, doing an activity that does not end in having a positive result or outcome is a meaningless activity. The sad reality is, even among believers we have settled to the idea that prayer is just a meaningless pursuit simply because we are so accustomed to praying and not having any result connected to prayer.Where have we been remiss? I wrote this book not to claim that I am an expert when it comes to prayer but to share what I discovered when it comes to this art of prayer. I call it an art simply because just like any art (i. e. drawing or painting) you become better at it as you keep on doing it. May we not lose this powerful tool given to us by our resurrected Savior and continue to wield it to advance His Kingdom and fulfill His purposes on earth! Thank you for taking this short journey with me and I am hoping that in the pages ahead you will discover nuggets of valuable truth that you can apply in your daily living. May this bring you bowing at His feet or just like John, laying your head upon His heart!
