What are the institutions that dominate the life of the your city? Do they glorify God? Or is your city infiltrated by pockets of idolatry and corruption? You can bring light to the darkest parts of your community by breaking down the enemy's strongholds through prayer.

Breaking Strongholds in Your City shows you how to pray against these dark strongholds- making it perfect for pastors, church leaders and intercessors at every level.
