Beth Moore had this to say about this resource, “This book is a result of my unquenchable desire to share one of the most effective approaches to the liberated life in Christ that God has ever taught me: praying Scripture to overcome strongholds.” Oftentimes in our Christian walk, we don’t know where to start when…

We’ve all been there. You can probably remember a time when you felt the overwhelming symptoms of worry take over your body. Your heart starts racing. Your skin becomes flushed or pale.
