Focusing on the necessity and relevance of prayer in the lives of modern Catholics, Romero highlights:

• Why prayer requires humility 
• The power of the St. Michael Prayer in protecting one from demonic forces
• Why specificity is important in prayer intentions 
• Ways to make your prayers more efficacious 
• The role of sacramentals in spiritual protection
• How only a return to prayer can win the culture wars

Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, the lives of the saints, and his own experiences in spiritual warfare and the pro-life movement, Romero provides riveting examples of the power of prayer to advance the Kingdom of Heaven even on this earth. He reminds Catholics of the duties bestowed upon us at our Confirmations: to become joyful soldiers for Christ and to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).

The book also features moving testimonies of the power of the Rosary from medieval times to the present and includes reminders that, in the stirring words of St. John Chrysostom:

“The power of prayer has subdued the strength of fire, bridled the rage of lions, silenced anarchy, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, enlarged the gates of Heaven, relieved diseases, averted frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. In sum, prayer has power to destroy whatever is at enmity with the good.”
