The Front Line: A Prayer Warrior's Guide to Spiritual Battle
“Everything done under the heavens is accomplished through prayer. Nothing will stand against the forces of evil without it.”
It’s a critical hour. The church is in need of an awakening, and our nation is desperate for spiritual revival. God has provided us with a powerful tool—one that enables us to draw closer to Him, gain wisdom and understanding, and even change the world. Yet we often lump prayer into the intangible, view it as a last resort, or shove it to the bottom of our to-do lists. Why?
The Front Line is a field manual for exploring the depth and power of a praying life. Drawing on a variety of perspectives, this book explores prayer from every angle—from its basic elements to the obstacles that hold people back. With inspirational stories, tools, and resources, The Front Line enables new recruits and seasoned prayer warriors alike to gain a greater understanding of the number one weapon in spiritual prayer.

The introduction is explosive; loved how it opened the book I would be reading and that the devil is real and knows us very well--we need to have the strategies to fight him and his demonic attacks as well. Prayer is the weapon.
The sword is only useful if you keep it sharp. Keep your knowledge of God’s word sharp by constantly reading it, meditating on it, and speaking His promises. Satan loves to keep us out of the word. To make Scripture reading and meditation a priority, we need to think of it as more important than food or sleep. Then, it will take on a whole new perspective.--John Bornschein.

Vice Chair John Bornschein of the National Day of Prayer Task Force collected the writings of this book to inspire 'prayer warriors' with creative, novel approaches to thinking about believing (rather than ceremonial) prayer. He wrote 7 chapters himself, co-authored another, and used individual chapters from 4 others.
The 5 points at the start give a good idea what he has in mind throughout the book. After walking logically through one's absolute dependence and reliance upon God, point 4 urges the praying believer to urge God to work AT salvation IN the world in which we find ourselves for, left to entropy, things are definitely going downhill in a very evident way.
Many of us can think of some very real ways that life is not good because of the entropic processes which so many of us allow to continue, but the hope of salvific intervention from Outside is one that seems far outside the domain of what we have come to expect - precisely why the believer may think that the kind of Help we REALLY need must COME from Beyond.

I got this from the publisher to do an Early Review. I liked it. It is a "primer" for Spiritual Warfare for the neophyte who wants to get intentional about intercessory prayer for others, the community, nation, government, and world. Although the material is quite basic, even an experienced prayer warrior will find himself or herself reinvigorated for the battle.
All the contributors used an abundance of Scripture to give a basic foundation for understanding the purpose of prayer and to give examples of prayer by people in Scripture. The last part of the book has all of these verses printed out in their entirety.
In addition to the abundance of Scripture, it has practical suggestions too. It has everything you need to become equipped for the battle!

I won this book through Librarything.
This book is for anyone wanting to start praying, but aren't sure how. Even people who have been praying for years will appreciate how the authors explain the fundamentals of prayer.
1. Why do we pray?
2. How should we pray?
3. When and where do we pray?
4. How will we know God's answer?
The authors write well thought out and easy to read text. They back it up with biblical scripture. I have been remiss in my prayers lately, but this book helped to bring me back to the proper etiquette for conversing with my Lord.

If you really want to be challenged about how to pray, pick up this book. The language is direct and moving and gets right to the point. While I would not read this on a summer at the beach, if you're serious about learning to communicate with God and call down fire from the Holy Spirit, start reading. It's not only interesting, it's powerful information that will help you in your walk with God.

The Front Line presents prayer as a very practical tool that God intends for us to actively use. The authors also talk about prayer as weapon that can change the world. This book is full of solid tips to bolster your prayers, and petition God to affect the lives of the people around you.
