Hey guys! I'm back with my next book review! :D  ~Book Description~    Prayer can accomplish what God can accomplish.    Inspired by the Kendrick Brothers' movie War Room , this exciting resource from the #1 best-selling team behind The Love Dare  and The Resolution for Men  is designed to help anyone – of any age – become a powerful person of prayer.    Including scriptural examples and personal testimonies, The Battle Plan of Prayer  explains the fundamentals of how effective prayer works, inspires the readers toward a closer relationship with God, and shows them how to develop specific prayer strategies for life.    Prayer should become your first plan of attack in all of life's battles, not your last resort.

I've throught about it, I've prayed about it, and now I'm writing out my thoughts in this post. (And you all are getting stuck reading it. LOL. xD)
