Summary

Michael Catt, senior pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church and executive producer of the Georgia congregation's runaway hit filmsFacing the GiantsandFireproof, is often asked why God has blessed their efforts in such a remarkable way. His answer is simple: "We have a praying church that is walking in unity. We pray over every ministry and every decision." The Power of Persistenceis Catt's invitation to a prayer-without-ceasing way of life. Stories from scripture and personal ministry experiences attest to the prophetic and profitable work of prayer. Engaging chapters on prayers of penitence, learning from the Psalmist, praying for children, the lost, and in response to spiritual warfare guide us to a breakthrough level of communication with the God who is eager to hear our cries and accomplish His work through us.
