Prayers for the Battlefield Book Review

For the last 7 weeks I have had the privilege to be a part of an amazing team of women, Heidi St John's book launch team for Prayers for the Battlefield, a follow up prayer guide to last years book Becoming MomStrong. Read my Becoming MomStrong book review here.

I have been blessed beyond measure as she has poured her heart, love, and passion for God's word into all of us these past weeks! So, yesterday was bittersweet as we celebrated LAUNCH DAY!!!

Each week we have all looked forward to our time together as we gather for our live discussions. God's word, no doubt, binds hearts together as we walk side by side through this battle we call life (on earth).

 ​Heidi St. John's Prayers for the Battlefield is more than a book, but is a "guide book" saturated in the word of God. And it is for this reason that I had to share this book with you.​ It is laced with the encouragement and truth that comes from the depths of Heidi's heart and experience on many tough topics.

Let's face it parenting is just plain HARD! The battles we face with and for our children in today's culture seem as though they are far greater then they have ever been. This place we find ourselves has become a battleground for us as parents, grandparents, and guardians. We now need to fight for the hearts of our precious children.
​
Heidi says, "God doesn't expect us to come to him with everything figured out. No, he desires that we lay it all out there; our worries, Our fears, are doubts. " ( PFTB pg.21)

1 Chronicles 28:20 also says, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work, don't be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. "

Reading through these heartfelt devotions and prayers, I find my mama heart response to be: 
I WANT TO BE BOLD! LORD, MAKE ME BOLD!

For any Christian family teaching and training their children to live with the heart of God, you will want to keep this incredible resource at your fingertips .
Mamas, I know your weary, but let's link arms and do the work! I encourage you to grab a copy of Prayers for the Battlefield , lace up your boots, get #offthebench, and onto the Battlefield!

 I would also love for you to join me back here in the next several weeks as I dig into Heidi St. John's Becoming MomStrong Bible Study. I'll be meeting with a group of moms here in my home but, I'll also be sharing highlights of what God is showing me, here on the blog too. I look forward to sharing with you as God reveals his wisdom to me! 

Blessings Sweet Mamas,
Melissa
