Michael Catt, senior pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church and executive
producer of the Georgia congregation's runaway hit films Facing the
Giants and Fireproof, 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 Persistence is 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.
