Commitment to Conquer: Redeeming Your City by Strategic Intercession

Out of the many books I have read perhaps the most inspiring other than the Bible.

This is not a book of theories or opinions. It is rooted and grounded in the real experience of a pastor and his congregation and the believers in that city. It is an easy-to-follow primer, peppered with Pastor Beckett's personal and congregational experiences germane thereto. Would that all believers had such a rich and powerful experience with the power of God to deal with a very real enemy.

Beckett's book, "Commitment to Conqour," pictures ministry not just in the local church but in the whole community. He challenges the reader through personal example how to positively attack spiritual strongholds. The church he serves and founded, The Dwelling Place, demonstrates the best of evangelical desire and congregational focus. Together, they confront the principalities and powers and see the victory of the Holy Spirit over demonic activity. Beckett illustrates well how to unify pastors and churches to take one's city for God. We are not in a battle by ourselves but in a battle for Jesus Christ, a battle ultimately to be won by God Himself. By uniting 30 pastors together, they come together in agreement with God and claim the land. Clearly, this is a must read for anyone who wants to take their city for God. Beckett's excellent teaching skills shine in this book. Reviewed by Rev. Lawrence H. Potts, Pastor of Beverly United Methodist Church, Beverly, NJ
