War Room, which
premieres this weekend, is creating quite a buzz—and not just among people.
This movie catches Heaven’s attention.
Most people would expect War
Room, Alex and Stephen Kendrick’s fifth movie, to deliver a powerful
message—especially considering the impact of the Kendrick brothers preceding
movies: Flywheel, Facing The Giants,
Fireproof and Courageous. But who
knew that this story of an all-American family in trouble, and the simple way
they worked through it would start an entire movement?
Tony Jordan (T.C. Stallings) and his wife Elizabeth (Priscilla Shirer) are living the American dream. Both
enjoy successful professions; they have a beautiful home in a good neighborhood
and, most of all, a delightful young daughter, Danielle (Alena Pitts). But life has a way
of souring, and discontentment creeps in, leaving the family unit vulnerable.
It is at this point, with a shaky marriage and a young
daughter who is hurting in the mix, that Elizabeth meets Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie)—a rendezvous
that changes everything.
No
young’un, Miss Clara has learned a thing or two in her time. But the thing she
has learned most is the life-changing power of prayer. This is what she teaches
her new protégée, Elizabeth.
The
message behind War Room—which, by the
way, is great entertainment—is so simple yet so powerful that Moms In Prayer International (MOPI) have
endorsed it and promote it as an inspiring tool in their mission to encourage
moms to pray for their kids. In fact, it is being heralded in many Christian
circles and is creating a movement towards prayer in households and small
groups alike. This film changes lives.
If
you’re looking for something fun yet meaningful to do this weekend, go see War Room. Not only will it likely change
your life, but it will also send a strong message to Hollywood that these are
the kinds of movies people want to see.

War Room is not
just inspirational, it is instructional. Consider bringing a friend or loved
one who just might need concrete hope amidst their struggles. (And, if you live
in Southern California, and want a double boost to change lives this weekend,
