The teen years can be tough; don’t try to make it through without one of your most powerful weapons—prayer. A companion book to the movie War Room, this new kind of journal will get you ready for a new kind of prayer life, one that’s strong, growing, and reflects just how powerful prayer is. Each short chapter tackles one of the biggest questions teens have about prayer, questions such as:
Why pray, anyway?What should I pray for? Are selfish prayers okay?Who should I pray for? Am I really supposed to pray for my enemies too?Will God listen? And will He answer? Just-right journaling prompts will then get you thinking—and praying—and reinforce the real power of fighting battles on your knees.

I was blessed with this book in exchange for an honest review.
My Thoughts:
This is such a great journal/devotional for teens! It speaks their language - tweets, texts, social media status. Stephen and Alex do a great job of bringing this book to a teens level. This book talks on a military level - Boot Camp, Arsenal, Basic Training, Advanced Training, Sniper School and a Journal at the end. Each devotional includes questions and spaces to journal along the way. The authors give alot of food for thought and then require the teens to think!!
For example: "The Enemy - after a brief explanation on the enemy and his strategy there are questions such as: ANALYZE Satan's strategy to stop you from praying. How does he do that in your life? What are the things that DISTRACT you? What are the things that DECEIVE you? What are the things that DIVIDE you (from God, Family, Church)?"
After each of these questions is a space to write out their thoughts. Then a GO TO WAR - "Pray that God will show you the ways Satan keeps you from prayer. Pray against all the distractions, deceptions, and divisions invading your life."
This is the pattern all through the book. The last chapter - SNIPER SCHOOL is a specific, strategic, and strenuous approach to prayer! It hits every angle you can think of your teen needs to be praying about in their lives, as well as including their friends, future, family, school, country and so much more.
This is a book you don't want to miss getting for your teen! Our country and communities need prayer warriors and it is our job to build them up and encourage them!! This book was inspired by the feature film War Room releasing this month (August 2015).

God is so amazingly BIGGER than our problems. That is what kids really need to learn, that God can handle it and help them be over-comers.

Why God didn't stop the abuse of the parents God gave them too
ReplyDeleteSuch a tough topic for sure. Why does a good God allow bad things to happen! I pray you are able to help them understand that inspite of the evil in the world, that is not the way God originally intended it to be, and how sad that makes Him.
DeleteGood Luck, thanks for stopping by and entering.
The children today are under not only peer pressure but pressure from adults who don't believe in Christ. They need all the encouragement they can get! Eapurcell@aol.com

Teens battle with being who they really should be on the inside.theirs so many wrong inspirations out there that make them act out in the wrong way.teens shouldn't have to change who they are just because others say they shouldn't be that way...ruz.j@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteYes, God created each of us special, and we need to help them realize they are His creation! He has a special plan for their life, and it may not be what someone else thinks they should be.
DeleteThank you for entering.
My teen is facing the challenges of the older kids in his school calling him names for being into science and robots. I love the way he challenges his mind, but he is down on his ideas since school has started!
ReplyDeleteOH NO! That is awful. My son actually enjoys those things also, and he thinks he will become a scientist when he gets older, although he hasnt yet decided what field of science he wants to pursue.
DeleteThank you for entering. Praying he has the courage to follow his GOD given dreams.
