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 … 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.

I love this book. I was re-reading chapters multiple times before I even finished the book simply because something would happen and I would remember something from the book that applied to the situation and reading it again was just so reassuring and refocusing that I would just read the whole chapter again. When circumstances were distracting it helped me focus on the true root, the real enemy and I felt less like an emergency responder and more like a prevention specialist. I’ve purchased extras to share with others when I feel led.
Prayer is warfare. In this book, Priscilla walks the reader through the strategies of effective prayer to fight the battles of faith. I love her matter-of-fact style of writing. The subtitle for this book, “A Woman’s Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer, is right on. Each chapter starts with a look at a tactic the enemy uses to disconnect us fro God with the words, “If I were your enemy I would…” This book will help you take your prayer life to the next level. I highly recommend this book as a study for groups.
We recently went through this book in our Friday Bible study at FTN. It was an inspiration and motivator to all of us. I now have post-it notes and prayer strategies all over my bathroom wall! But sometimes that’s exactly what we need—a visual reminder of the war raging around us and our battle plan. If you’re looking for a book to help strengthen your prayer life (and many other areas of life), this is it!
Awesome
Priscilla gave me a renewed passion for prayer.
Great wisdom and insight! I did this with s group of ladies from church and we all LOVED it.
If you are trying to become more intimate with God through prayer, this book can ignite your enthusiasm and passion for the time you spend in prayer with the Lord. Highly recommend.
Read FERVENT for a women’s group at church. Very motivational with scriptural backing.
After seeing “The War Room” I was inspired and wanted to go about prayer and the “battle” in a systematic way. Fervent, written by Priscilla Shirer, is that instruction guide. You feel as though she is with you, guiding you through scripture, encouraging and praying with you along the way. The book blessed me so much at I sent copies to many of the ladies in my family. Thank you, Priscilla Shirer.
The title is true. There is a real war going on all the time, and we can’t deny it. We have to fight back! We have to be prepared! We have weapons! We have the Truth! And we can, and will, have victory! A small group of ladies and I went through this book together, a chapter a week, and used it as we studied examples from the Bible and prayed our way together, and on our own with God, through many situations. And it was good!
Priscilla Shirer has hit a home run with this book! Fervent is so easy to understand and follow. I started this not knowing what to really expect. I told my husband I was going to read a chapter and go to bed… yeah, 3 chapters later a few pages of notes in my notebook not to mention the underlining in the book. There were so many times I had to stop and just say wow! She helps you write your own prayer strategy that is fit to you and not a cookie cutter strategy. Absolutely amazing!
