Fervent: A Woman's Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer

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.

Our very first book club pick, Fervent by Priscilla Shirer, was such a powerful and inspiring start to our journey together. The book beautifully reminded us of the importance of prayer—not just as a routine, but as a weapon and a lifeline. Reading it with the group encouraged me not only to finish the book but also to truly apply what we discussed in my daily life. I’ve walked away with lessons I know I’ll carry with me for years to come, especially about being intentional and fervent in prayer. One of my biggest takeaways was how practical Shirer made the discipline of prayer, showing us how to be specific, bold, and consistent when coming before God. It challenged me to reflect on areas of my life where prayer is most needed, and to approach them with faith and focus rather than fear. I can already see myself returning to this book in the future for encouragement and strength—it’s one of those reads that only gets deeper with time. I’m so grateful we started with Fervent and can’t wait to see how the lessons we learned continue to shape us as a group.
