Since starting a small storefront church in inner-city Chicago, John Eckhardt
has guided hundreds of churches around the world, launched dozens of
ministry schools and sold more than half a million books. Yet none of
that has changed how he prays.

There’s a war raging, and John Eckhardt
won’t relent. Fighting in the trenches for decades now, the firebrand
fivefold minister has charted his own unique crusade against a known
enemy, drawing enlistees from American inner cities and suburbs and as
far away as Africa, Asia and parts of Europe. But don’t go looking for
shields, guns or grenades at his south Chicago church­—befittingly named
Crusaders Church. You won’t find them. 

This battle is not against flesh and
blood. The enemy, Satan, won’t go down with mere ammunition but with
authoritative, Word-filled prayers that change lost lives and rattle the
religious.
