Priscilla Shirer starred in the movie’s War Room and Overcomer. She is a wife, mother, and an author of several Bible studies.

She knows that God will work all things together for good to those who love Him and called according to His purpose!
“We can see hope in the midst of hopelessness. We can see peace in the midst of chaos. We have a hope that the world does not have. We can see clearly that all things work together for the good of them that love Him and are called according to His purpose.” – Priscilla Shirer
