    Prayer Warrior Mom, by Marla Alupoaicei, is a book that strives to teach mothers how to intercede to the Father on behalf of their children. Each of the fifteen chapters begins with an applicable quote before focusing on a specific principle that Alupoaicei argues is essential in successfully praying for our children. At the end of each chapter, the reader will find Bible verses that related to the chapter, as well as a sample prayer and small group discussion questions.

    I've always felt that prayer is a weak spot in my life and have oft times felt guilty, because I know it is not only powerful, but required for true intimacy with our Lord. Since having children, I've become convicted even further, as I know their Creator is also the divine Author of their lives, and he has given me the responsibility (or as Alupoaicei so aptly put it, the "holy privilege") to raise them for Him. I was thus drawn to this book the moment I saw its title.

    I know there are other books similar to this one on the market, but I can't compare it to others as it is the first book on the subject that I've read. For the most part I appreciated her down-to-earth, personal writing style, interwoven stories and practical advice. It was a fairly quick read, although at times I felt it was a bit redundant, abstract and didn't flow from one subject to the next. I think it is best suited to be read slowly, to make it more applicable in a mother's life, so that by the grace of God she can focus on practicing and growing in areas of her prayer life in which she might be weak. There were many take home points that resonated with me, such as the reminder of the power in praying Scripture, cultivating a grateful heart that radiates the grace God has given us, having a positive and prayerful perspective on that will help our kids live with a Kingdom reality, and remembering that labels applied to our children have the potential to be "soul killers", so we need to focus on their heart rather than their behavior, and the positive potential of negative behaviors that might be displayed (e.g. instead of seeing a child as stubborn, viewing them in the light that they are showing characteristics of assertiveness and persistence in the face of obstacles) and how to mold that to glorify God. I would recommend this book, though I do feel like it could be a bit overwhelming and could almost cause a mother to focus on working to become a godly prayer warrior, versus drawing closer to God, and thus growing in Him to become the mother He desires you to be for your children.

    What a valuable book. We pray for our kids, right? Don't you sometimes wonder if your prayers could be more effective. or powerful, or something? I do. I was glad to review this book because I felt it timely in my own questioning mind.

    The author is thorough and covers a lot of ground with fifteen principles. She also includes some illustrations to help in comprehension and memory of the concepts she's teaching. There are discussion questions too, making it perfect for a study.

    The book is well worth chapter 5 alone. "Pray With Power and Authority" I have read and prayed over that chapter, and will continue because it's just that crazy good.

    I received this book in exchange for a non biased review from Thomas Nelson and Booksneeze.

    Marla Alupoaicei obviously cares very deeply about the women she is writing to in her new book, "Prayer Warrior Mom: Covering your kids with God's blessings and protection." It is evident that she has read through many books on the topics she wants to share with her readers in order to offer as many helpful ideas as she can. In her new book, she opens up her brain and lets all that she's taken in spill out. (Readers who don't recognize ideas from these books within the text itself will find the books listed as resources in the back of Marla's book.) Marla wants women to learn how to pray.

    "Prayer Warrior Mom" wasn't what I expected, though. First of all, because of the subtitle, I expected a book full of ideas on how moms can pray for their children. Instead, the book tells women, in great detail, what they "should" or "must" do in order to become Marla's definition of a woman qualified to pray effectively. Instead of focusing on the children, Marla's book focuses on fixing their moms.

    Second, I expected this book to be a small group Bible study. A few times in the book, including in the introduction, Marla recommends it as such. Though the book does, in fact, have Scripture scattered throughout, this is not presented as a Bible study. In a true Bible study, one reads the Bible to learn what God has to say. In this book, Marla uses, and sometimes misuses, Scripture to make her own points.

    Overall, I was disappointed in this book. Marla's writing style is hard to follow. She jumps very quickly and randomly from one idea to another. Trying to keep track of them all was exhausting. Trying to accomplish all she suggests would be exhausting, too. Women need encouragement to go to God just as they are, right now, to build a loving Father-child relationship with Him that will naturally include fervent prayer for their children. The more time we spend in His Presence, the more He will make us into the mothers He's meant for us to be. It's His work, not ours, that turns us into prayer warriors.
