Elizabeth’s path crosses Clara’s when the older woman needs a real estate agent. Tony doesn’t have much interest in his wife, either.Īnd caught in the middle of this troubled couple’s conflict is 10-year-old daughter Danielle, who longs for her parents’ love and attention … and longs for them to stop yelling at each other. Tony, you see, has no interest in helping people who are hardly working when he’s working so hard. He pulls in four times as much money as Elizabeth does-a fact he’s quick to remind her of when she tries to give her sister some of it. Tony’s a star sales rep for a pharmaceutical company, a natural born talker whose megawatt smile has magnetic appeal. Especially when one of those details involves her deteriorating relationship with her husband, Tony. But tending to the details of her life is all-consuming for her right now. Oh, this successful real estate agent, wife and mother is a Christian. Or, as Miss Clara calls it, her “war room.”Įlizabeth Jordan doesn’t know anything about such secret spiritual places. A strategy that can come from only one place: time spent asking for God’s guidance in our prayer closet.

Yet despite the reality of relational conflict, Clara observes, “Very few of us know how to fight the right way.” We fight each other instead of recognizing our common spiritual enemy, she says, the thief who comes “to steal, kill and destroy.” If we hope to thwart Satan’s schemes, to counter his cunning strategies to divide us, we’ll need a beefy battle strategy. That’s as true for individuals as it is for countries. “There always seems to be something to fight about.” War is as old as human history, an aged widow named Miss Clara narrates in the opening moments of War Room.
