We’ve been stuck inside or had one too many snow days. Our holiday plans are done (along with our New Years resolutions) and we’re wondering “what’s next?” Well, grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or ice water with lemon, or whatever brings you joy) and join us for our March book club here at (in)courage!

I am excited about this book as I had checked it out from the library but not read it yet. I did read the first page that said it should be a book well written it, so I decided I needed my own copy. Just haven’t gotten one yet.
Elaine Kovacik Tomasello says
I love book club. It really sounds great. I would love to make my prayer life even better than it is so I can know the Lord better. It is also great to see the feedback and comments of the other participants. It makes me feel I am not alone. Thanks for the opportunity! Can’t wait! God bless you!
Sally Shafer says
Please enter me for the drawing.

I love your book studies, it is so nice to check in when I have time and review whenever I need to watch again. I have been a fan for years! Thank you for being here to guide me, I cannot participate in my normal book study with the ladies at my church because I am a confirmation mentor. So this opportunity to do a book study with others is so much fun.
God bless and keep us,

I actually work at a Family Christian Bookstore, so I was definitely well aware of War Room and all of the products that went with it. I heard soooo many good things about War Room from my customers, and I finally got around to seeing it and loved it! Priscilla Shirer was awesome in the movie, and I have a feeling she has written a wonderful book that I can’t wait to dive into! And I love how it has tear out prayer cards in the back! So cool!

This book comes at a good time for me as I’m trying to learn to pray and trust in Him again. I lost my son Isaac when I was 34 weeks pregnant in September and I’m slowly learning that God is using his little life to teach me so much about faith and hope. Looking forward to reading this book with all of you.

I enjoyed the last study with Emily and look forward to this one.

Andrea Mitchell says
My ladies Bible Study group just finished Priscilla Shrier’s Armor of God study, so this will be a great follow-up!
BethAnn Morrison says
Hello Andrea, I’m in a Bible Study as well with The Armor of God. You wouldn’t, by any chance, be in the one at First Baptist Orlando, would you?
Andrea Mitchell says
No, I’m in Canada – ours is just a small group of friends who like to study together. 🙂

Leslie Kay says
I would love to join in with this book club because I in 2016 I have surrendered all my heart to the Lord and fully giving into what the Lord has planned for me. I pray a lot, but I sometimes feel like I’m not praying the right things. I’ve been wanting to get into a study about prayer and this comes at the perfect time!
Marilyn says
I am excited because this is my first time ever to join a book club and I need it so much. I like the way that I can follow along and if for some reason I can’t because of the crazy schedule, it will still be available for me to view & read later. Looking fwd to changing, growing and connecting.

I’ve had my eye on this book for several months. Currently, working on the Battle Plan for Prayer Bible Study with a group at church. Really enjoyed the movie War Room and know I need to get my prayer life in gear.
Kathy DeFilippo says
I am EXCITED to join in! This is just what I need to remind me that God is always near and to never give up in the power of prayer. It is HIS timing in all things, not mine. I can’t wait to dig in. 🙂
Shauna says
I am glad to study even more on prayer as God is convicting me to pray rather than just to think about praying!
Jessica Peters says
I am very excited about this-and the timing is spot on for me; I need this. YAY! 🙂
Corena says
“Fervent,” that’s a word that I’ve come across before many moons ago perhaps even in my childhood as my mom first taught me to pray. But the miracle of God is that He gave me a heart for prayer it’s been a common thread weaving through my life but I want it to be effective, sweet as incense and for His glory. It is why I look forward to participating in the scriptural study of prayer through reading this book.
Crystal says
I put Fervent on my Amazon wish list after reading a friend’s review of it. This is just the push I needed to actually read it. Thank you. : )
jamie says
This is a book that I have wanted to dive into..now is the time! So Excited!

I really need to dig deeper into prayer and focus on leaning into God more through it. I think it will be awesome to do it with a community of women.
Audrey Beach says
I have enjoyed your emails for a couple of months now! Looking forward to joining the book club. Some of the ladies in my church finished Armour of God by Priscilla Shirer and we loved it! This book club is coming at a great time when my church is really focusing on prayer right now!
Monica says
I saw prayer room at the theater and bought the DVD. I found an area in my office for my prayer corner and I would love to be a part of this book club. I have done them in the past and always found it to be helpful to do the book in a group.
Julie Kline says
Prayer has been a huge focus for my family right now. Different difficult situations have given us all a heart for learning to pray. I’m excited for this book because I really want to dig deeper into prayer and learn how to pray with expectation and diligence. I can’t wait to start!

Yes! Im so excited about this book club book. God really spoke to me through the movie and I’ve recently started reading Fervent. It’s so awesome and I’m really excited to discuss and learn with other women. Yahoo!
Lisa Herbstreit says
Bought the book from Priscilla’s website when it was first released…after a year of God placing a renewed approach to prayer I was excited to learn from her experience and from what the War Room movie inspired in all of us. Excited to hear this (in)courage book club to help encourage us to crack open the book and dig into the contents…purposefully praying for God to move in our lives and the lives of others. Blessed by your efforts!
Gina Weeks says
Oh, praise God! I’m excited to join in because I’ve been prompted by the Lord to ramp up my prayer life and get more serious about intentional prayer. What a great book choice!

NurseChapel119 says
I love the fact I can actively participate and implement strategies in spiritual warfare against the true enemy! I’ve listened to many Tony Evans sermons and I love the messages and the life application he gives and I know the Lord will bless this book club when we all come together and fight against the dark principalities- a 3 braided rope is harder to break and I just believe when we come together and pray and share with one another during the book club we will defeat the enemy in this spiritual warfare that is going on in our lives! Thank you Lord for this opportunity for there is an army rising up!!
Jenny says
I am excited for the book club with fervent. I am hearing God’s call in strengthening my prayer life and relationship with him. Hope this will give me the oportunity to fill me as I prepare to fill others.
LovingLifeBecause... says
I’m so excited to join this book club because of War Room. I can’t remember ever watching a movie where the audience was so actively involved in a positive way. There were all kinds of “amens!” and people raising their hands to God. It was an amazingly positive experience to share with people and I look forward to doing it again with the group reading “Fervent”.
Sheila V Barksdale says
Priscilla Shirer is definitely using her God-given talents in Bible Study and now the movie. Can’t wait to see what this study brings to my life!!

Fervent” Book Club fits the answered prayer bill 🙂
I was blessed to meet Ms.Clara aka Karen Abercrombie at the Williamson Chapel Ladies Brunch in early December. And to hear Priscilla Shier at Laides Conference at The Refuge last fall.

dogloveCAN says
HI my name is Angela. I’m excited about this book club. I’ve been troubled lately at the lack of fervency in my prayer life, not that I pray alot either. This is troubling because I am the Prayer Ministry leader. How can I effectively lead others to grow their prayer life, when mine is in such a desert place? I look forward to reading this book and blogs and listening to the livechat.
Dianne says

Sophia DeLonghi says
I have seen this movie four times now and have since purchased the dvd. I would love to win this giveaway as I am so in need of encouragement to start a war room of my own and have been dragging my heels with excuses of not having the right set up.

I love reading and having this community make recommendations is awesome! Being accountable and getting other’s perspective makes the reading engaging and thoughtful!
Staci Anna says
I’ve REALLY been wanting to read this book and I’m really excited to be able to read it in a setting that includes a discussion with other women
Lisa R says
I’m excited for the book club for sooo many reasons! I loved War Room, and combined with really well-timed messages from our pastor on prayer (aren’t they all!) I am making the effort to be better at prayer, so that I may walk closer to our Father.
Becky Marzano says
I’m just finishing a group bible study of The Battle Plan for Prayer and this is the perfect follow-up. It will also be my first book club with (in)courage and I’m excited about that.
Elisabeth Michelle says
This book has been in my “to read” pile for a couple months. What better time to read it than with this book club, so excited! Hoping I can find a few friends to read it with me.
Sarah M says
Would love to read her book! Our women’s bible study just recently finished Priscilla’s Gideon study and loved it. I’m sure her book would be excellent as well.
Heather E. says
I’d love to do this book club! I’ve never done one before.
Julie S says
I am excited to join this book club because I know the devil is always lurking around and I do NOT want my family or myself susceptible to his deeds.
Joy says
I’m so excited for this!
Stephanie says
Oh my goodness, I just stumbled onto your page and I’m so excited to join this book club. I’m becoming an empty nester this month and God knew I was going to need some Him time and prayer time now with all my free time!
Mollie Coleman says
So excited about this study! I Would love to grow in my prayer life.
Brigett Dempsey says
I am really looking forward to this book and having the opportunity to encourage – and be encouraged – when it comes to praying fervently…earnestly…in all situations ❤
Angel1111 says
I am excited to join in the book club. I love the thought of being a prayer warrior with so many other women. I plan on taking my book with me to college.
Rachel E says
Oh my! This study sounds incredible.
Anna H says
I’ve been in the middle of a crossroads situation for a while, and I’ve been feeling like I can’t hear what God is asking of me. I think reading this book would help me use my prayers to ask God what he has planned for me and actually be open to hearing his answer.
Heather S says
I am sooooo pumped for this! I would la la LOVE to win and be a part, Priscilla Shirer is so good! xoxo
Debbie Hamilton Carson says
It’s so exciting when God gives you a hunger for a more focused prayer life and then you find out what the Bloom March Book is! I’m Excited!
Judy says
Fervent has been on my book list, as I’ve been feeling called to grow closer to God through prayer.
susie says
I don’t usually join book clubs, even though it sounds fun and interesting, because I can’t usually “attend”. I’m giving this a try because I really, really believe in the subject, and want to have the added encouragement of the book club to keep me on track and be increasingly successful in this spiritual warfare, this following hard after God, our Shield and Defender, and our Rear Guard and Protection. Thank you for this opportunity.
Kelsi says
I loved War Room and am really excited to learn how to be more intentional with my prayer. I have heard so much about this book and can’t wait to join in fellowship in this book club!
Heidi Lara says
I’ve joined a really powerful prayer group of amazing women of God through people I met on a story {seriously}. This would be a perfect companion study. Thanks for all you do for us here in your “community.”
Jessica says
I am excited because I feel like I just give random thoughts when praying and would like to be more focused!
Lisa Muniz says
I just ran across this book club while skimming through Instagram and couldn’t be more happy to go sign up. I’m excited to see this book and join in because I have a teenage daughter and she’s going through a rough time. I’ve never prayed harder in my life than I have this past year. I think this book can help me focus and learn how to pray effectively for her, hubby and myself as well as we navigate these emotional teen years as well as pray for others around me (not related to dd’s trials).
Diane says
I would love to win this giveaway. Prayer is something I struggle with daily. I believe this Bible Study would be a way to encourage me to go pray more often. I love incourage!
Tammy Schroeder says
Funny I bought this book a while back and put aside. I have felt the nudge to get into this study. I need to focus my prayer life.
Connie says
This is a great time for me to focus on my prayer life, my life is great, but my conversations with God have gotten less and less. I didn’t grow up in a prayerful home so I am learning how to become a prayer warrior.
Abigail Katt says
Prayer has always been difficult for me. It is the place in my faith that I feel the most inadequate. I have tried so many different strategies and devotionals and nothing seems to work I’m hoping that this book club is a place of learning and friendship.
Patricia B Hawes says
need this
Linda Bennett says
Just discovered this site today. The book club sounds like something I would enjoy and grow from plus I love Priscilla Shirer’s studies.
Casey says
I would love to win because I love to be in community with other believers. I desire to get to know God better through more regular prayer.
Michelle says
I love {in}courage and all that you do for us…so thank you! And, this would be my first time doing a “book club”, of any kind, so that would really exciting.
Cindy says
Love this book and loved the movie. Can’t wait to read and pray with everyone.
Katie Miller says
So excited for this book club! I bought the book a couple months ago and have meaning to start it but now I’ve been encouraged and why not do it with other women!! Love it!!
Janet says
Prayer is something I struggle with so this is a timely book and discussion. Also I enjoyed the last one.
GranJan says
I know that prayer is so vital to my daily life and I love Priscilla’s teaching so much. I believe this will be good accountability for me. Thank y’all for all you do!
Beverly Steele says
I am excited to join in this book club and to work through Fervent with y’all… I believe y’all are an answered prayer for me!… Several times over the last couple of months, the Lord has impressed on me my need for a more active, focused, disciplined prayer life… I’ve been working on it, but feel scattered and a bit ill-equipped… My hope is that Fervent will help me to really press in and see God move in me, and in those He has placed around me… I am excited to see what He will do for all of us!… I haven’t yet seen War Room, but I’ve heard great things about it and hope to get to see it soon!… Thanks so much for offering this study AND for hosting such a great giveaway. 🙂
Amanda says
Would love to get this and help my prayer life to go to the next level!

I’m excited to join the book club because I started to dive deeper into the word . I believe with this study I’m going to be equipped to pray those fervent prayers for my life and for others.
Cindy Powell Brown says
I really need to work on praying and reading my Bible! Please pick me!
Jennifer D. says
I can’t wait to read this book. It’s definitely a timely need as Satan is working hard in my life. I look forward to reading it.
Kelly says
So excited to join the book club. I already had the book, so it’s a perfect time to have accountability throughout.
Kathy Wendt Bihn says
This is what I believe my next step needs to be. I just found out my daughter got accepted to grad school over eight hours away, and I can’t believe how much I am already missing her-she doesn’t go till May-and already worrying about her migraines, and so I need to not only learn how to pray, but also to be able to be able to be specific and purposeful. So count me in!
zonemom says
Book club is an exciting opportunity for women to learn and grow together and doing deeper in prayer is so hugely important. I’m excited about this book!
leekm2006 says
In desperate need for a great book and this community,is always so uplifting.

I’ve been struggling to press in. I need this study!! Thanks for a chance to win. Looking forward to getting started.

I am away from my home church right now and would love to participate in this Bible study. I have never done a Priscilla Shire study before.
Julie Nettleton says
I always enjoy your selections for the club! Thanks for the opportunity to win AND grow 🙂
Rachelle Soule says
This is so timely. I just watched War Room a couple days ago, and am inspired to rev up my prayer life.
Kristi S. says
How exciting! I have the book but haven’t gotten really into yet, and this is the perfect chance to get started up. Plus, improving my prayer life is one of the areas of obedience that I am working to improve, so the timing is spot on 🙂
Lori White says
Recently, I was able to watch The War Room. I’m very happy to find a Bible study that will complement the movie because nobody wants to have a luke warm prayer life!!
Bobbie Doxey says
Interesting how Father leads, guides and directs our journey. Having read Emily Freeman’s blog post, Break This Habit Change Your Life (Feb 16,2016), I am encouraged to join this book club, a first for me.
Deanna W says
Excited about joining as our church is finishing up Battle Plan for Prayer also a book inspired byou War Room. Looking forward to reading Fervent.
Amanda Stevenson Felton says
I would love this book. My prayer practice suffers greatly and I need more focus and guidance. Thank you!
Emorris says
I’m looking for something to draw me closer in my walk with the Lord. This would be an awesome start for me!
Leeann Staples says
I want to become more of a prayer warrior. Excited to do this study!
Mandy says
Priscilla Shirer breathes life into your soul with every single God-inspired word that she writes. I am excited to be a part of a community of women who are eager to grow their prayer lives!
Edna Grace Polichnia says
This book is so awesome and I would love to win the prize pack to give my daughter a copy of her own! This is going to be a great study
Kate Cannon says
this is a book that I really need to read and I am excited to see it on the book club
ohAmanda says
PRAY is my word for the year and this is one of the books on my list. So, I guess, I’m in! 😉
mlou says
Received this book as a Christmas gift from my son and daughter in law! I set up my War Room after seeing the movie. Recently finished Priscilla’s study on the Armor of God and was looking forward to starting this book when this Post appeared in my inbox! So excited to see what God has in store!
Anjie says
I’m really excited to join this book club! Can’t wait!!
Judy says
I was so inspired by the movie. Can’t wait to read the book!
karen north says
With every year of my life – I’m 50 now – I realize more deeply how significant prayer is in fighting the spiritual battles (and there are LOTS of those) and in knowing richly the One who loves me most. It’s always an area in which I want & need to grow.
Tammy Schindeldecker Tessier says
I have struggled with how to pray and after watching war room I am excited to join this group and study more about prayer and how to stay focused and carve out that time and truly and intentionally be in the prayer time I set aside each day. And stop and listen to what the Lord is teaching and guiding me to do and pray for and not to forget to pray for thanks and the struggles of life as each one is a lesson also.
Caitlin Coons says
I’m excited to join because I started Fervent a while ago, but haven’t found the focus to finish on my own. I know by participating in this book club and having a reading plan I’ll have the motivation to finally finish. I’m also so thrilled to be discussing and learning from the other women who are reading along.
JoDitt Danley Williams says
Loved the movie, War Room! And all the wisdom Priscilla Shirer has to share. I think the Bible study group I help lead is going to do Fervent next.
Jennifer Langley says
I can’t wait to start this study. I am through the intro and into Chapter 1. I am ready to be intentional and start putting into practice what I am learning.
Christy Mishler says
I loved the movie War Room. Last year I was in a Bible Study at our church called Discerning the voice of God with Priscilla.
I have been praying that God would help me and teach me how to pray more specifically. This is so perfect and such great timing. 🙂 I wonder why and Who was instrumental in that. LOL.
Jenn Grandlienard says
I’ve heard AMAZING things about this book, and am very excited it’s the next (in)courage book club book! I’ve loved all the previous book selections, and can’t wait to dive into a book about amping up my prayer life!
Melissa Linger says
I’m so excited to join this book club! I have been trying to develop a deeper, more purposeful prayer life. I am the mother of three nearly grown young men and I’m feeling that I’ve failed them by not praying for them as fervently as I should have all these years. The War Room has inspired me to look at prayer through new eyes, and realize it’s not too late. God’s got more in store and I’m ready to learn how to align fervent and strategic prayer with God’s will. I’m so ready!!!
Kim B. says
I’m excited as it’s much more rewarding growing in God’s word and furthering our walks & prayer times with others. It’s inspiring, motivating & helps me to feel like we’re all in this together! I moved away from my core Bible Study & close knit group of sisters in Christ so am really feeling disconnected, I know that’s about to change!
Lisa Young says
I’m excited about the book club! The books, the community, so great.
M Hughes says
I am so excited about this book study! I’m looking for some practical, helpful advice.
Beth Williams says
My prayer life needs more intentionality in it! I need to stop simply asking for this or that–even if it is good stuff for others. I need to pray with fervency using scripture as reference to denounce the evil one!
Colette says
There aren’t too many book clubs that are inspiring to be apart of these days. I am looking forward to gaining some insight on how women, especially busy women, use prayer to draw closer to the Lord. Looking for some ideas and (in)couragement on how to focus when praying because I have alot going on in my own life. I need some STRATEGY!!!
debbie says
what perfect timing, finding this, this particular book at this time in my life when I need to return to prayer and faith. Thank you <3
Renee Swope says
Yes, yes, yes!! I’ve got the book and can’t wait to read it with Ya’ll!! 🙂
Betsy says
This comes at a perfect time for me as i feel my prayer life needs a boost. Looking forward to it.
Liesl says
What perfect timing! I have been so inspired by War Room, but with two precious littles at home, I find myself exhausted and frankly don’t know where to start. Silly, I know, but it’s just how I feel. Looking forward to getting in gear with this study!
Brandi Money says
I am so excited for this reading! I’ve already read the book and it’s amazing! I plan to read again and again. Priscilla is so wonderful to have shared her strategies with us. It’s truly a blessing!
Melanie Wright Cardwell says
Excited to learn how to make my prayer life more purposeful!
Nikia Babin says
This book means a promise to get back to the source. To make a commitment to my quiet time and prayer life that I have let slip away or be replaced by busyness.
Christy says
I’m excited about participating in this book club because I enjoyed the one with Emily Freeman and I’ve seen The War Room and know I will enjoy and benefit from this book by Priscilla Shirer.
Jessica Dorn says
I am so excited for this series, bc I’m tired of Satan messing with my life, my family, and my husband. I want to fight back with Gods powerful weapon, PRAYER.
Can’t wait!!!
Laura says
I’m currently going through a confirmation course and am seeking ways to enliven my spiritual life, and this book looks like the perfect compliment to what I’m doing!
Michelle Hunter Burns says
Just ordered my copy of Fervent.
Very excited to start this book!
Lydia Geisendorfer says
I love having a direction to aim for and a community for support and real conversation but as a busy momma the flexibility of going at my own pace!
Donna says
I love prayer. It’s my way of blessing family and friends. They have so completely blessed me. And I have the high privilege of a common, fumbling girl speaking with her Savior.
Melissa says
So excited about this study! I love Priscilla Shirer!!
Jennifer McKillip Smith says
My study group is just getting ready to read this book! What great timing.
Amanda says
Yay! I am excited to go through this book with y’all because I already have it AND it is just SO SO GOOD!
Heather Arseneault says
Excited to reclaim God’s promises for my family and those around me.
lisa michele says
I’m excited about this new study by Priscilla Shirer!
Kristy Wietholter says
I love the concept of “prayer as a lifestyle”! Looking forward to the book club!
Jessica Richards says
I am excited for this book study because my prayer life needs improvement. I absolutely love the movie war room and I thought it was very inspiring.
lisa says
I am hungry for this encouragement to pray–to pray steadily, with commitment & with passion. I look forward to the words of support and encouragement here.
Jenny Griffis says
I’ve never been part of a book club before, so this will be a first for me. I loved the movie “War Room” and it has inspired me to focus more on my prayer life. My entire world has fallen apart after the recent death of my beloved father right after Christmas. I haven’t been dealing with it well at all and haven’t felt that God has heard or responded to my prayers. Everything has been “on hold” and I’m struggling to find God again and learn to pray more fervently and effectively.

I am a busy mom of 5 and long for fellowship but lack time to commit away from home. Love I can do this in comfort of home and fill my spirit:)
Stacey says
I look forward to reading this book by an amazing author! Her words are powerful and thought provoking. It’s great to be a part of a book club in a community of women to learn from each other and pray for each other!
Kathy Pinkerton says
So excited and thank you (in)courage for providing the opportunity to be a member of this book club! I’m looking forward to participating and I’m grateful for the chance to win one of the Fervent prize packs! What a joy it would be to use!! I enjoyed the movie War Room and I’m looking forward to reading this book.
Stephanie Ravencraft says
I’m excited to read this book and join in with other women who want to pray and share how God is present for us all!
Anne-Marie Held says
I actually just bought the book last week, before I heard about this book club! God has a way of creating little miracles.
Christie Burgess says
I am always humbled and encouraged by the amazing timing of God. It is no surprise to Him that I am almost finished with a Women’s Bible Study on Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God……and now my first introduction to the (in)courage book club is her book Fervent?! Praising Jesus! I am so excited to continue in this subject & with this author. I had just been joyously grieving the end of the study and now have a new joy from the Hope that is ALWAYS in Him. Can’t wait to start this with ya’ll. Hoping my adult daughters will join as well. Praising Jesus, the lover of my soul!!
Judith Barillas says
I’m excited to join this book club!:) I have read Fervent and have talked about it with my local friends. Looking forward to hearing about how others think and feel about the book and about prayer.
Alyssa Torregroza says
I’m excited for this study because I’ve wanted to read this book since I first learned about it but I haven’t been motivated to read it. Having a community to read it with and share discussion about the book with sounds like exactly what I need! I look forward to having a strategy to grow my prayer life and to really learn how to “fight my battles” in prayer. I’m excited to have a group to interact with and learn with! Can’t wait!
Beth Williams says
I need to reenergize my prayer life! My life has been hectic, chaotic this year. I not only need to desperately carve out time for prayer, but make those prayers more intentional! Especially in light of the way the country is going and the way the election seems to be going! God please help us and revive this country!
Blessings 🙂
Mary Tullila says
I’ll be joining in…exciting! Big stuff happens in the war room.
Pamela McConnell Wise says
I have been struggling with trying to start a prayer journal and to remain faithful and committed. So thankful this is the book choice for study and direction.
Jenn says
I love books and would love this new one. I just finished a book by one of your writers and it was amazing
Connie Tacazon says
I really love the idea of this book and seeing how it can change my everyday life to be more soulful, more authentic.
Kelsi says
For over a year I felt a nudge to be in prayer more and make that a big priority and focus. Unfortunately I allowed the chaos of my life to be a distraction and excuse. I bought Fervent a few weeks ago and drew a line in the sand. When I saw this is the next book for the book club I was so excited. Looking forward to the community and opportunity to dig in even more. This is it, no more excuses!
