I enjoy Priscillia Shirer's views on how to come to God. She has some wonderful tips to become devoted to having a relationship with God. I did a lot of highlighting in the book and hope to read more by her.

A must-read for every Christian woman!
Practical, encouraging, and convicting.
The kind of book you’ll want to keep with your Bible and read over and over again.

THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE CHRISTIAN BOOK OF ALL TIME! First, if you have not seen the movie War Room I suggest you do! The main protagonist in the movie is the author of this book and this book is based on that awesome movie. I have yet to find a book to top this book in all honesty. I'm so hooked on this book because it focuses on the prayer life of women (men and children too). I struggle with praying on a daily basis and making sure that my prayer is effective as it should be. This book has taught me so much about how to be fervent (pun intended) with my prayers. How to properly focus my energy in times of troubles (not all troubles of course) and really seek God's help and guidance through prayer. I've noticed a lot about my life and myself as an individual after reading this powerful book. I highly recommend this book to a ton of people!

This powerful book on prayer has been sitting on my to-read list for many months. I am blown away with its insight on spiritual warfare. Priscilla Shirer gives you a clear picture of how the enemy is trying to defeat you in ways that you don’t realize. She wakes you up to the truth and gives you a clear, scripture-based plan for handling the battles you are facing with prayer.

Priscilla is a gifted Bible teacher and speaker. Her writing holds power and influence. I find her perspectives riveting; I can’t get them out of my head (in the best sort of way).

Here are several powerful quotes from Fervent that are changing my prayer life:
“The kind of prayer strategy we’re about to employ treats every temptation as the potent, life-threatening stick of dynamite that it is.”

“When our lives are packed to the brim with things that squeeze God to the periphery, it’s a sure sign we’ve replaced our devotion to God with a love for something else.”

“Unforgiveness is a strategic ‘design,’ craftily implemented by your enemy to ‘outwit’ you, to cripple your effectiveness in prayer and your power to stand against him victoriously.”

You’ll love the calls to action that this book offers you. Experience a jolt of revolution in your prayer life with this exceptional book.

Netgalley generously provided me a copy of Fervent, and I also purchased a hard copy from Lifeway. Yes, it is that good–you simply must get this book!

Such a great book on prayer! I love how it was laid out and how she gives scripture references for each area to pray over. So nice to have a lace to start!

This book is a great read and follow up to the movie, “War Room”. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you do it this weekend! The idea of Spiritual Armor is talked about in Ephesians 6 and it’s something we are to put on each and every day of our lives because Ephesians 6:12 states that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. In this book Priscilla walks us through each area of our lives where we can stand guard in prayer with our armor on and be ready to battle the attacks coming at us. Whether you are young or old, single or married, a parent or not, this book is a great growing guide in this needed area in a believer’s life. Check it out today along with other great reads by this author.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book- about fervent, life-changing prayer- was so very beautiful! I had to stop highlighting parts of it, because it was becoming close to being the whole book! I seldom do rereads and I plan to read this again in the near future. The prayer ideas were very relatable and the Bible passages spoke to me. I feel by convicted by the chapter on forgiveness, especially. I have already ordered a physical copy for my bookshelf.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is a wonderful by such a great teacher. You will underline or highlight so many times so you can remember and refer back to the instructions. The book can be used for a Bible Study because it explains how we use the armor of God in Ephesians 6 to defeat the enemy and stand strong. It speaks of fear and verses and actions to defeat it and recognize the author of fear. I will read and re-read this book.

Another fabulous book by Priscilla Shirer. The book is filled with prayer strategies and personal stories which are so relevant for us today. It's thoughtful and so well written in the way we expect Priscilla to engage with us. I loved the mix of stories, strategies and scriptures. I first received an ebook and when I flipped to the introduction, I knew I had to have a physical copy so I could underline and tag pages. I am a huge fan of this author and you won't be disappointed.

Powerful book. Addresses multiple ways the devil attacks us and tries to keep us from being affective as a Christian. Shirer presents each strategy of the devil, gives real life examples, and then gives ways to combat this strategy. The entire book is about prayer and it's power against these strategies of the devil. Shirer uses tons of scripture to back her strategies against the devil. Fervent was eye opening to me. I never thought of some basic things as the work of the devil trying to keep me from intimacy with the Lord. Great read. Goes along great with her Armour of God study.
