Prayer as a Weapon: How to Go on the Spiritual Offensive

In the eternal battle for souls, prayer is our greatest weapon.  In this book on spiritual warfare, acclaimed author and radio host Jesse Romero emphasizes the importance of prayer in facing our modern crises, especially for men who are the heads of their households. He reminds us that the faculty of prayer is both a gift and a protective weapon from God. Far from a passive routine, it is an intrepid action in which we directly encounter the divine and drive away the diabolic.  Romero identifies the different types of prayer — liturgical, adoration, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise — and demonstrates from Scripture and Tradition that prayer is also a weapon. This idea is unfamiliar to most Catholics, especially Catholic men.  Focusing on the necessity and relevance of prayer in the lives of modern Catholics, Romero highlights: Why prayer requires humility  The power of the St. Michael Prayer in protecting one from demonic forces Why specificity is important in prayer
