Summary: Strategical and helpful
Review: I found this book to be very helpful in becomming more strategical in my prayers. Dr. Wagner has once again taken a chance to break away from the status quo and serve the body with practical information. He will always have his critics, yet it is unmistakable that he is being used to further the great commission in obvious ways. Jonathan Edwards once said something to the effect of genuine works of the Spirit being accompanied by friction. Praise God for fresh strategies that will help us to get the job done!

Summary: "Our struggle...is against the powers of this dark world."
Review: In the seven volumes of the "Prayer Warrior" series, C. Peter Wagner introduces the reader to what is happening on the front lines of the international prayer movement. This volume deals with "spiritual mapping", which uses a combination of research and spiritual gifts to identify demonic forces and patterns of sinful behavior that keep a city or region in spiritual bondage. This knowledge can then be used by intercessors to target their prayers to weaken and overcome these hindrances to God's work. Wagner acknowledges that, while there are biblical passages that support this approach, the real proof is in the results. In particular, Wagner cites tremendous breakthroughs in evangelism and church planting in regions formerly resistant to the gospel that result from spiritual mapping followed by targeted intercessory prayer. A fascinating, compelling book that should be read by anyone interested in missions, evangelism, or intercessory prayer.

Summary: Critical Insight into Fulfilling the Great Commission
Review: Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces in high places, to paraphrase the apostle Paul. Salvation comes from the heart action of faith, not the mental grasp of facts. This is a spiritual process, and there are spiritual enemies obstructing that process.C. Peter Wagner's great book, Breaking Strongholds in Your City, offers critical insight into "breaking the backs" of the enemies of the great commission. Illustrating to us the process of "spiritual mapping," Wagner shows how we can lay siege to the demonic garrisons that have ravaged the attempts to take our cities for Christ. Reading this book will allow you to glimpse at the "hidden war" in the heavenlies. You will see how the "ruling spirit" in an Argentinean city was taken down. You will learn about common hideouts of demonic entrenchment. These places were often established by secret societies that have designed and built many of our cities, thus shaping our spiritual history. You will gain insight in how to gather information to perform spiritual mapping--mapping the strategic spiritual strongholds. Finally you will learn through example how to overcome these strongholds through prayer walks, prophetic prayer actions (PPAs), and strategic intercessory spiritual warfare. Attempting to advance the kingdom of God without attacking on the spiritual level is like feeling for the light switch in a dark room while being punched at. I wouldn't advise it.

Summary: Wagner disregards Bible.
Review: There is no quick fix or formula when working to reach the city for Christ. Wagner uses unreliable sources and is guilty of using Scripture as a proof text. His heart to reach the lost does not mean he is has the answer. Let's reach the lost like Jesus and his followers did.

Summary: A New Strategy For A New Day
Review: Wagner has once again contributed useful information to the body of Christ. Let's continue to keep HIM in our prayers so that the Lord will continue to use HIM as He's used him to write this book.
