An attractive, wealthy and seemingly happy couple has reached the crisis point in their marriage. The wife, Elizabeth (Priscilla Shirer) is a real estate agent. She has a beautiful home, a great job and a beautiful daughter to whom she sometimes doesn't pay enough attention. The husband, Tony (T.C. Stallings) is a salesman who often travels for business. He feels that he provides a nice home and a great salary and that should be enough. But, it isn't. Both of them are unhappy and constantly fighting. Elizabeth meets Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie) when she is hired to sell her home. Miss Clara helps Elizabeth to see that she is fighting a losing battle and that her daughter is caught in the middle. She shows Elizabeth her Prayer closet or War Room as she refers to it. She helps Elizabeth realize that nothing can change until she changes her heart, forgives her husband and relies on Jesus to provide the grace to save her marriage. Through the power of prayer, Elizabeth transforms. Will Tony have the Faith necessary to re-commit to the marriage and become the man that Elizabeth needs him to be?

This is a Faith-based film. It is a must see for Christians (I would hope that everyone would go see it, but it is primarily directed at a Christian audience). It is well-acted, entertaining, funny in parts and very Biblical. It relies heavily on Scripture and doesn't try to water down the importance of faith in Jesus Christ and the power of prayer. The Husband and I really enjoyed this film. The crowd was very into it. There were planty of Amens and the audiemnce clapped at the end. Critics are not loving this film. But, it seems that audiences are truly being inspired by a Biblical film that doesn't shy away from what it takes to make a marriage work and what it takes to live a Faithful life. The power of Prayer is strong and this film is a perfect illustration of a family living that out to the fullest extent. GO SEE IT!!!!
