Whether you are a new Christian or someone who has a commited relationship to the Lord, you will find this book helpful. Although Beth Moore is the human author listed on the book cover, she is only God's messenger,these prayers originated with Him. It doesn't matter whether you think you have strongholds in your life or not, you will find this book a wonderful companion to your Bible. I have already given 4 of these books as gifts to hurting friends...I recommend this for ladies or gentlemen. If you have taken Beth Moore's study, Breaking Free, this book will be great followup to that powerful experience!

How many times have you sat down to pray and felt like you were boring God with the same old prayer? Have you ever considered using God's unfathomable word in your prayers? What better way to talk to God than by using the loving guidance He has set forth for us in His word.

Beth Moore guides you through 14 different spiritual strongholds in the book Breaking Free From Spiritual Strongholds: Praying God's Word. In her most wonderful way of saying things she lets us know through God's word how we must learn to first turn these spiritual strongholds over to God before we can have that intimate relationship that we seek with our Heavenly Father.

If you are looking for an exciting prayer life where you feel the power of God when you pray then this book is a good starting point. Your prayer life will never be the same!

Although I have read only 5 chapters(strongholds), I could not wait to share my review!...I have read many good books on prayer but this one outranks them all, and I have already begun recommending it to friends and family!

I did not consider that the strongholds of Depression and Unbelief would apply to ME, but the depth with which each topic is covered makes each one, indeed, personal AND relevant....Praying these scriptures prepares one to readily enter into the presence of the LORD with one's OWN praise, contrition, thanksgiving, and petitions. To her own profoundly spiritual insights and experiences Beth Moore interjects quotations from other prominent authors, and even includes spaces for journaling, which complete this exceptional work.

I will definitely look for and recommend Beth Moore's other books with confidence in her faithfulness to GOD, and to His WORD....

Just look through the table of contents, you'll find yourself. Do you struggle with re-occuring feelings of guilt? That's what hooked me in. We are all weak in areas and Beth has shared her humble heart that she admits has failed, but the secret everybody is that God is close and will give us strength if we abide in His word by prayer. You will be encouraged, if you only have to fast one meal to afford this book, you will not, I really mean it, you will not be disappointed, although the enemy might be.

I have been a Christian for 19 years and have continued to "work through my salvation with fear and trembling" for many of those years. That's the point; I didn't need to really fear in the modern definition of "fear". This work enabled me to take a look at my spiritual condition in a frank unashamed way and come to grips with it in a way that has freed me of the gut-wrenching strongholds I have had all my life. It also has given me solid biblical basis for how to continue to remain strong. Not being able to normally memorize scripture didn't hinder me. I didn't set out to memorize but by praying many of the prayers over each day for weeks they have become a part of me. I fall back upon them when I start to question or doubt my progress. My life will never be the same because of this work. Had heard about praying scripture before, but this brought it to life for me and made it practical by taking topic after topic and working through it. The book is arranged by topics which start with a brief insightful narrative and then quote scripture with a brief thought to also pray along with it.

"Praying God's Word" by Beth Moore isn't necessarily a book you read...it's a book you USE!! I carry this book to work with me regularly and have it handy at home all the time. Her introductory words are uplifting and helpful. The scripture she chooses and the way she rephrases it into prayer gives me applicable words to work with as I bring my own struggles before the Lord. I am so thankful for Beth Moore and the many wonderful books and Bible Studies she has produced. As a teacher, I have done two of her studies so far and will begin another one this week for our ladies' class. I thank God for Beth Moore and the wisdom our Heavenly Father has instilled in her for teaching the Word.

This book is a wonderful tool to help you in the process of breaking strongholds. Beth Moore has done all the leg work in researching God's word for scriptures relating to a number of common strongholds such as fear, feelings of guilt, feeling unloved, despair and others. This book combines scriptures and prayers together that you can claim as you work to breakdown lies and replace them with TRUTH. This is a great companion book to Beth's Breaking Free Bible Study.

Have you ever been at a loss for words when praying to God? Do you often have a hard time expressing to God what you feel in your heart? Are you struggling with certain issues in your life? Then this book is for you.!

The complete title of this book is: "Breaking Free from Spiritual Strongholds: Praying God's Word." Spiritual strongholds include addiction, depression, sexual strongholds, feelings of rejection, pride, unbelief, guilt, etc. If you feel you need help for any of these things I encourage you to get this book. It is loaded with practical advice and shows you how to take God's Word, the Bible, and use it in your prayers.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 refers to "tearing down strongholds by captivating our minds with the knowledge of God." Beth Moore's informal style of writing makes it easy to understand the Word of God and to apply it to our daily lives. This book is a wonderful companion for your Bible and a useful tool for your prayer life. Any Christian will find this to be an instructive and very helpful resource.

This book is one that you will want to have by your side at all times. It is not likely one you will read and then put away. The information is a great aid for a powerful prayer. You can have it with you anywhere and bring a scripture out to focus on at any given time if you cannot recall one. It's a wonderful tool to go along with my Bible.

Ever been in the midst of prayer and unable to find a scripture to match the moment? This book is the cure. During seasons of "pruning" it is so important to have the Word to hold on to, but often it is hard to find that certain scripture.
This book rides with me to work almost every day. When the day goes awry I take out the book and spend a few minutes during lunch praying through a few of the scripture prayer examples. They often take on new meaning during those times! I begin my afternoon refocused, comforted, and ready to face the truth. The only disadvantage of this book is that you may want to doggy-flap almost every page!
