THE LEGACY OF BILL BELICHICK AND THE ART OF BUILDING THE PERFECT TEAM

by Michael Holley ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 8, 2011

A deeply reported, thoroughly engaging look at what it takes to succeed in the NFL—and a perfect complement to the NFL...

A longtime Patriots chronicler goes inside the brain trust of the NFL’s most successful team.

In the NFL, team building—drafting, trading and signing fee agents—is a multimillion-dollar business with many livelihoods and professional reputations at stake. The widely acknowledged virtuoso of this peculiar blend of art and science is Bill Belichick, GM and head coach of the New England Patriots. Holley ( Red Sox Rule: Terry Francona and Boston’s Rise to Dominance , 2008, etc.) traces the genesis of Belichick’s “Big Idea” back 20 years when, as the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns, he began piecing together notions—particularly, the idea of a uniform player-evaluation system—about how best to construct a consistent winner. Working for him then were scouting assistant Scott Pioli and young groundskeeper Thomas Dimitroff, both of whom, after extended apprenticeships under Belichick in New England, would go on to helm NFL franchises elsewhere, spreading the gospel of The Patriot Way. With Belichick as the principal and Pioli and Dimitroff in supporting roles, Holley dives deep into the complexities of the draft and the subtleties of an appraisal system sufficiently exact to rely upon, flexible enough to allow for exceptions. There’s plenty of inside-football, but the narrative soars when the author’s in storytelling mode, drawing sharp portraits of the three very different franchise architects and other prominent NFL figures, supplying behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the Patriots’ glorious run (three Super Bowl championships, one perfect regular season), the team’s infrequent failures (e.g., the notorious Spygate episode), the contributions and departures of key assistants and pivotal players, the abiding brilliance of quarterback Tom Brady and the emerging efforts by Pioli in Kansas City and Dimitroff in Atlanta to reshape the football culture—to replicate, albeit with their personal stamps, Belichick’s master plan.

WHY WE SWIM

by Bonnie Tsui ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 14, 2020

An absorbing, wide-ranging story of humans’ relationship with the water.

A study of swimming as sport, survival method, basis for community, and route to physical and mental well-being.

For Bay Area writer Tsui ( American Chinatown: A People's History of Five Neighborhoods , 2009), swimming is in her blood. As she recounts, her parents met in a Hong Kong swimming pool, and she often visited the beach as a child and competed on a swim team in high school. Midway through the engaging narrative, the author explains how she rejoined the team at age 40, just as her 6-year-old was signing up for the first time. Chronicling her interviews with scientists and swimmers alike, Tsui notes the many health benefits of swimming, some of which are mental. Swimmers often achieve the “flow” state and get their best ideas while in the water. Her travels took her from the California coast, where she dove for abalone and swam from Alcatraz back to San Francisco, to Tokyo, where she heard about the “samurai swimming” martial arts tradition. In Iceland, she met Guðlaugur Friðþórsson, a local celebrity who, in 1984, survived six hours in a winter sea after his fishing vessel capsized, earning him the nickname “the human seal.” Although humans are generally adapted to life on land, the author discovered that some have extra advantages in the water. The Bajau people of Indonesia, for instance, can do 10-minute free dives while hunting because their spleens are 50% larger than average. For most, though, it’s simply a matter of practice. Tsui discussed swimming with Dara Torres, who became the oldest Olympic swimmer at age 41, and swam with Kim Chambers, one of the few people to complete the daunting Oceans Seven marathon swim challenge. Drawing on personal experience, history, biology, and social science, the author conveys the appeal of “an unflinching giving-over to an element” and makes a convincing case for broader access to swimming education (372,000 people still drown annually).

by Jeanne Marie Laskas ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 24, 2015

Effectively sobering. Suffice it to say that Pop Warner parents will want to armor their kids from head to toe upon reading...

A maddening, well-constructed tale of medical discovery and corporate coverup, set in morgues, laboratories, courtrooms, and football fields.

Nigeria-born Bennet Omalu is perhaps an unlikely hero, a medical doctor board-certified in four areas of pathology, “anatomic, clinical, forensic, and neuropathology,” and a well-rounded specialist in death. When his boss, celebrity examiner Cyril Wecht (“in the autopsy business, Wecht was a rock star”), got into trouble for various specimens of publicity-hound overreach, Omalu was there to offer patient, stoical support. The student did not surpass the teacher in flashiness, but Omalu was a rock star all his own in studying the brain to determine a cause of death. Laskas’ (Creative Writing/Univ. of Pittsburgh;  Hidden America , 2012, etc.) main topic is the horrific injuries wrought to the brains and bodies of football players on the field. Omalu’s study of the unfortunate brain of Pittsburgh Steeler Mike Webster, who died in 2002 at 50 of a supposed heart attack, brought new attention to the trauma of concussion. Laskas trades in sportwriter-ese, all staccato delivery full of tough guy – isms and sports clichés: “He had played for fifteen seasons, a warrior’s warrior; he played in more games—two hundred twenty—than any other player in Steelers history. Undersized, tough, a big, burly white guy—a Pittsburgh kind of guy—the heart of the best team in history.” A little of that goes a long way, but Laskas, a Pittsburgher who first wrote of Omalu and his studies in a story in  GQ , does sturdy work in keeping up with a grim story that the NFL most definitely did not want to see aired—not in Omalu’s professional publications in medical journals, nor, reportedly, on the big screen in the Will Smith vehicle based on this book.

War Room — Prayer is a Powerful Weapon: Book Review

More in books & book reviews:.

War Room is the novelisation by Chris Fabry  based on the motion picture of the same name. The movie War Room, which has been a resounding box office success since it’s launch in August in the US, is the latest offering from the award-wining creators of Fireproof, Courageous and Facing the Giants, Alex and Stephen Kendrick.

War Room is a compelling drama that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships and every other areas of our lives.

Tony and Elizabeth Jordan seem to have it all – great jobs, a beautiful daughter and their dream home. But in fact their lives are deeply marred by a rapidly deteriorating marriage. Tony is wrapped up in his successful career; Elizabeth resigns herself to increasing bitterness.

- Advertisement -

Taking on the real enemy Their lives take an unexpected turn when Elizabeth meets Miss Clara, an older widow who has been praying for just such an opportunity to pass on what she has learned about God and prayer from her particular trials. Elizabeth is challenged to fight for her family instead of against her husband, by taking on the real enemy “the thief that comes to steal and destroy”. She learns true intimacy with a loving God and the transforming power of prayer. Her closet becomes her “war room” as she steps out in blind faith to contend for the life she and her family were meant for. Tony’s hidden struggles come to light and he has his own decisions to make.

I found War Room a good read, with the wisdom regarding prayer and a surrendered life sound and insightful. Basic truths come alive in the narrative.

In addition to the novel, various other books have been inspired by the movie. Two of these resources are “ The Battle Plan for Prayer ” (Stephen and Alex Kendrick) and “ Ferven t” (Priscilla Shirer), which is specifically for women.

Both these books use Biblical examples and personal testimonies to teach on effective prayer and inspire the reader to a closer walk with a loving Father.  Coaching in personalised prayer strategy leads to greater victory and the knowledge that a  deeper level of intimacy with Him is the greatest reward of all.

'War Room': EW review

War Room is a gold-plated piece of Bible thumping that’s resonating with the same audience that watches Jimmy Stewart get touched by an angel every December in It’s a Wonderful Life —and cry next to Christmas trees, despite that film’s many hackneyed religious devices. Directed by Alex Kendrick, who’s made a series of successful faith-based movies with his brother Stephen out of Georgia over the last decade, the movie is explicitly pitched at the 70 percent of Americans who identify as Christians but somehow feel ignored by secular Hollywood. The film preaches to its flock, of course, insisting over and over that a moral life can only be lived through the grace of Jesus Christ, but War Room is definitely not some dreary, dorky session of Sunday school. From its very opening moments, when we see black female real estate agent confabbing with a mixed race couple in suburban Atlanta—it’s clear that the film, though proselytizing only at itself, is at least savvy enough to realize that “itself” doesn’t necessarily look like Mike Huckabee or Pat Robertson.

War Room , indeed, is both a product and a reflection of 2015 America. There’s no sniveling about a purer time in the country and no coded nostalgia for the past. Despite more people checking the box for religiously unaffiliated than ever before, belief in God is still hip enough that Barack Obama speaks continuously, as he’s done since before he was elected president, about the importance of prayer in his life. In the film, prayer is exactly what is missing for upper class couple Elizabeth (Priscilla Shirer) and Tony (T.C. Stallings), whose marriage is deteriorating in a morass of arguments over money and his wandering eye. Elizabeth sells the home of a wizened elderly woman named Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie), who encourages her to “respect your husband and pray to God to fix him.” A tear-soaked scene in which Elizabeth exorcises Satan from her house serves as the movie’s “I’ll never be hungry again” jamboree of classic Georgian ham.

The title refers to a closet in Miss Clara’s home that she has gutted of clothes in favor of Bible verses. And while “war room” is an explicit combat metaphor, most of the movie is as soft and fluffy as an Easter Bunny. Every note of the plot—from the wisecracking best friend to the music-pumping getting-stuff-done montages—is cribbed directly from the cliché-ridden Hollywood dreck that the movie seems to buck against. And yet, the cumulative effect is rather easy to swallow. Perhaps that’s because the film’s protagonist is a woman who talks about being pushed to the back burner in a male-oriented society; or because, for all the film’s mentions of the Christian Lord, it ultimately makes a more Jesuitical point about following the Golden Rule. Director Kendrick shows commendable restraint during a late scene in which he appears as Tony’s boss at the Big Pharma company he works for—and forgives Tony for a workplace transgression without once bringing up the name of God.

The Kendrick brothers sidestep social issues, which also seem like an unconscious aping of glossy Hollywood, in which pesky little political realties don’t exist. A scene in which a knife-wielding attacker drops his weapon because his intended victim invokes the name of Jesus is particularly ludicrous. War Room , however, does deal with the sin of marital infidelity in a facile 15-minute subplot, which is most interesting for being released mere weeks after the hack of spouse-cheating website Ashley Madison. The Bible Belt was revealed to be ripe with Ashley Madison members, leading one Louisiana minister to even commit suicide after being exposed . Another Christian blogger and Ashley Madison member from Texas took to YouTube to admit , with supportive wife by his side, his “fleshly desires” that have been “completely cleansed.” Makes one wonder if the box office success of War Room can be partially attributed to sorry husbands looking for the perfect flick for an atonement date night.

Review: ‘War Room’

Contrivance and conviction are equally present in the Kendrick brothers' latest Christian-themed hit.

Yet another faith-based indie that upended the expectations of box office prognosticators by scoring a bountiful opening-weekend gross, “ War Room ” is by far the most slickly produced and insistently evangelical movie yet from the sibling team of Alex and Stephen Kendrick. Unlike their previous “Fireproof” (2008) and “Courageous” (2011), which wove uplifting messages of contrition, redemption and transformative Christianity into tales about morally challenged first responders — firefighters in one, police officers in the other — their new drama is pretty much undiluted prayer rally from beginning to end. The emphatic proselytizing doubtless will resound with ticketbuyers who feel a drama focused on the possibility of spiritual salvation can be every bit as compelling as a spectacle that pivots on the question of whether Loki can pull one over on the Avengers. But it remains to be seen if there’s crossover potential for a wide release so bereft of alluring plot hooks for mainstream audiences.

Elizabeth Jordan (Priscilla Shirer), an attractive wife, mom and real estate agent, has grown weary of constantly quarreling with her inattentive husband, Tony (T.C. Stallings), a hard-charging, frequently traveling pharmaceutical company rep who may have cheating on his mind. But before she can consider a visit to a divorce lawyer, she has the good fortune — or, perhaps more accurately, the miraculous fortune — to cross paths with Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie), a feisty old lady whose Bible-thumping zealousness is so pronounced that even Tyler Perry’s perpetually extroverted Madea might find her to be, well, a bit much. (All the major characters in “War Room” are black, which may be another reason why some underestimated the movie’s ability to draw flocks to megaplexes.)

Popular on Variety

Miss Clara is unashamedly and indefatigably curious, if not downright nosey, and quickly divines that all is not right in Elizabeth’s life. So she advises the younger woman to pray, pray and then pray some more, preferably in the seclusion of a closet converted into a spiritual “war room” where she can paste Bible verses, wish lists and other inspirational material on the wall for easy reference. As Miss Clara sees it — and Elizabeth soon comes to agree — Elizabeth should not spend her time dwelling on Tony’s many failings as a husband, or his neglectfulness as a father to their daughter, Danielle (Alena Pitts). Rather, she should be fighting alongside, not against, her errant husband, forging an alliance to battle the one responsible for their unhappiness: Satan.

In the world according to the Kendrick brothers, miracles start to happen just as soon as someone starts praying. Indeed, sometimes all it takes is a few entreaties to the Lord for a losing high-school football team to begin a victory lap. (Check out 2006’s “Facing the Giants.”) In “War Room,” manifestations of divine intervention are rather more prosaic, but every bit as helpful: When Tony dines out with a cutie during a business trip, and considers her offer of herself as dessert, he suddenly is stricken with an upset stomach that requires a hasty rush to the men’s room. Cineastes, take note: This may qualify as the funniest prevention of a close encounter since Doris Day conveniently contracted a nervous rash to disrupt Cary Grant’s amorous plans in “That Touch of Mink.”

But Tony doesn’t start to see the light and share prayer time with his wife until he’s fired from his job — for skimming samples and then selling the merchandise — and discovers, much to his surprise and shame, that Elizabeth will continue to stand by him. (Spoiler ahead.) One thing leads to another, for what seems like a much longer time than it should, and everything leads to a climactic double-dutch jumprope tournament where a team led by Tony and Danielle claims a trophy. No, really: That’s what happens.

It’s easy to laugh at the arrant contrivances and heavy-handed dialogue in the script penned by Alex and Stephen Kendrick. But it’s even easier to admire the persuasive sincerity and emotional potency of the lead performances by Shirer and Stallings, who do not transcend their material so much as imbue it with conviction. As a director, Alex Kendrick still has much to learn about pacing — “War Room” could be nearly a half-hour shorter after judicious trimming of repetitive or unnecessary scenes — but there can be no gainsaying his ability to bring sufficient power and credibility to key scenes involving expressions of faith and supplications to God.

The production values indicate that the Kendrick brothers continue to raise larger budgets from project to project, and, more important, they know how to spend their money wisely. The soundtrack showcases apt contributions by various Christian recording artists — most notably, Stephen Curtis Chapman’s “Warrior,” the kind of closing-credits theme guaranteed to give audiences a satisfying rush as they leave the theater or turn off their TV.

War Room & Armor of God: Bible Study Review

by Joanna Weaver | Apr 6, 2016

I’ve been asking God to make me a woman of prayer…

Over the years, I’ve learned to talk to the Lord all day long, dialoguing with Him in prayer. But when it come to down-on-my-knees, face-in-the-rug intercession, I have to confess I fall short.

I’ve tried to analyze why that might be…Lack of discipline? Lack of passion? Lack of faith?

To be honest, it’s probably a little of all three. Intercession doesn’t come naturally to me, but I want it to.

Lately, I’ve been asking God to stir up my faith and teach me to pray. I mean, really pray!

I need the Holy Spirit to awaken  my spirit so I fully engage in the hard work of intercession. Passionately and purposefully praying for the people I love and the needs of the world.

Because prayer – the “effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man” – or woman! – “avails much” (James 5:16 NKJV).

Schooled in Prayer

This past fall, God used “ War Room ,” to amplify the call to prayer I’d been feeling. What a powerful movie!

If you haven’t seen it, Priscilla Shirer plays Elizabeth Jordan, a successful real estate agent with a huge house, a beautiful daughter and a miserable marriage. She meets Miss Clara, an elderly woman who has a house to sell. But the relationship that develops involves much more than that.

Here’s the trailer if you haven’t seen it…

Through Miss Clara, Elizabeth learns how to fight the right battle with the right weapons – especially the power of prayer. “I see in you a warrior that needs to be awakened,” Miss Clara tells Elizabeth. As I watched the movie, her words resonated in me as well.

When I heard there was a companion Bible study to “War Room,” I couldn’t wait to share it with our weekly Bible studies. It would be a great way to end our study year.

War Room Bible Study

• Week #1 – Honest Evaluation
• Week #2 – Real Accountability
• Week #3 – Living the Gospel
• Week #4 – Victory Accomplished
• Week #5 – Impacted by Grace

Unfortunately, our ladies group needed a longer study than five weeks to finish our September-to-May Bible study year. What to do, what to do, I wondered?

The Armor of God Bible Study

With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray.

Priscilla covers the weapons for spiritual warfare in seven sessions:

• Week #1 – Sizing Up the Enemy
• Week #2 – The Belt of Truth
• Week #3 – The Breastplate of Righteousness
• Week #4 – The Shoes of Peace
• Week #5 – The Shield of faith
• Week #7 – The Helmet of Salvation
• Week #8 – The Sword of the Spirit

All wonderful, but familiar stuff. At least that’s what I thought, until I read the back cover of the Armor of God workbook :

“This means War,” the back copy read. “All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you. A cunning, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you – your emotions, your mind, your family, your future. “But his reign stops right here, right now. With you. The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. A woman who is armed and dangerous.”

Wow. It matched the message of the  War Room Study, and it was exactly what I’d been sensing the Lord speak to my heart. “Quit cowering, Joanna. Stand in the strength and the authority I’ve given you.”

Suddenly, I knew I’d found the answer to our dilemma. We wouldn’t do one study. We’d do two – and we’d do them at the same time!

After all, how cool would it be to watch Priscilla Shirer learn the lessons of prayer in War Room and then teach the lessons of prayer in Armor of God ?

Blending Two Studies

So that’s what we’ve been doing in our Tuesday morning and Wednesday night studies, and it’s been fabulous! We’ve combined the 5-week and 7-week studies, then tightened them to the eleven weeks we needed. (See how we did it in the schedule below.)

Five weeks in, we are loving it. Though the studies weren’t designed to go together, it feels like God has dovetailed them to complement and emphasize the importance of prayer and spiritual warfare.

To lighten the homework load, we chose to only use the Armor of God workbook . But you really need to buy a copy of the  War Room study guide  for teaching. You’ll want to look at the two guides ahead of time to determine what approach to use with your group – one guide or both.

Here’s a schedule to show how we combined the studies and assigned the homework.

Download: {  War Room & Armor of God Study Schedule }

Tips for Making a Study Fit Your Needs

As Bible study leaders, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when shopping for a study. There are so many studies to choose from – how do you begin to discern what the Lord wants you to do? And when you do find a study, it’s frustrating when it doesn’t have enough sessions – or too many sessions – so you pass it by and keep on looking.

May I encourage you with a few thoughts?

First, God has chosen you for this position and He will give you the wisdom you need. Just ask.

In fact, please, please, ASK! Whatever you do, don’t choose a study on your own. Don’t rely solely on people’s opinions or best-seller lists. Be led by the Spirit to the resources your women need. Keep your heart, eyes and ears open – God will reveal the study He has for you.

Second, let God expand your thinking and creativity.

If you feel drawn to a study, don’t discount it when it doesn’t meet all your needs. Think outside the box. There may be ways to expand or tighten the study to meet your timeline. (I’ve included ideas for that in all three of my DVD Study Leader Guides – it’s not as hard as it may seem.)

Third, let God expand the giftings in your group.

One of the sweet by-products of our current approach has been the extra time in the “War Room” weeks. We discuss our homework and the “War Room” movie clip, then one of our own ladies teach on that topic or an aspect of prayer that is precious to them.

Finally, don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

Don’t let fear keep you from doing something you haven’t done before. You may feel prompted to write a study or teach a book that’s decades old (even centuries old – for instance,  The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence is amazing!) If the Lord is leading you, you can trust Him to give you the wisdom and the resources you need to do it.

After all, my friend…there is a warrior inside you and each of your women waiting to be wakened. And I believe weekly Bible studies provide a perfect atmosphere for that to happen.

So go in the strength and spiritual authority God has given you – then watch what He will do! In your life as well as in the lives of the people you serve.

The Sanitized Christianity of “War Room”

By Richard Brody

“War Room,” the Christian-inspirational drama that was the No. 1 box-office hit of the Labor Day weekend, takes the metaphor of its title literally: the first scenes of the film show stock footage of combat. It’s accompanied by a woman’s voice-over, in which she speaks of her late husband, an officer who was in the back room with other officers, coming up with the “strategy” to make it possible to win the fight on the ground.

The speaker, Clara Williams (played by Karen Abercrombie), has been widowed for forty years, and is preparing to sell the house, in an unnamed town in the South, in which she has lived for half a century. The real-estate agent who comes for a walk-through, Elizabeth Jordan (Priscilla C. Shirer), betrays signs of emotional unrest, centered on her marriage, and Clara—whom Elizabeth calls, throughout the film, “Miss Clara”—invites her to return for coffee the next morning.

That’s when Miss Clara reveals to Elizabeth her favorite room in the house. It’s actually a converted closet, the walls of which are festooned with her handwritten citations from the Bible, and which she calls her “war room.” It’s where she goes, she says, to strategize to fight her own battles, and, pressing Elizabeth about her commitment to prayer and to Jesus, exhorts her to try praying in order to save her marriage.

The terms in which Miss Clara phrases that struggle, though, are inspirational in themselves. Elizabeth says that she and her husband, Tony (T. C. Stallings), do little together but fight, and Miss Clara’s response is that it’s normal for couples to fight—but that the important thing is to learn how to fight, and then she reframes the problem, asking Elizabeth whether she’s willing to fight for her marriage. Miss Clara asks Elizabeth for an hour a week of her time, for a religious study session—and it quickly catches on with Elizabeth, who begins reading the Bible on her own, establishes her own “war room” in a walk-in closet, and, by fighting on the side of Jesus, ultimately (as if it were a surprise) saves her marriage.

But this bare-bones synopsis of the movie hardly gets at its peculiar blend of blandly palliative wish-fulfillment and exuberant, nearly possessed fervor. Clara Williams is no soft-spoken elder; though gentle and tender, she’s a sparkplug of brisk energy whose positive outlook and wry humor are matched by an oratorical extravagance that wouldn’t be out of place in a Pentecostal pulpit.

Yet the movie contrasts her religious energy with the cultural void in which the rest of the action takes place. Elizabeth sells real estate and seems to do little else; Tony is a pharmaceuticals salesman who spends lots of time at the gym working out and playing basketball (he impresses his teammates by doing standing backflips); their ten-year-old daughter, Danielle (Alena Pitts), an excellent student, spends her free time as a competitive double-Dutch rope jumper. None of these accomplished people has any discernible interest in books, movies, music, television, politics, or pop culture at large. They’re encased in a sanitized suburban wasteland, living in a mini-mansion of impeccable impersonality. Elizabeth and Tony spend a lot of time and energy on their work and, apparently, little of it on Danielle, whom they adore but—in the terms set within the movie—neglect (they don’t attend her double-Dutch events or know anything about her team).

Elizabeth and Tony are driven to succeed, but they pursue success—money, security, praise—as an end in itself; they live passionless lives, and the main subject of the couple’s marital discord is her desire to provide financial help to her sister, whose husband is unemployed. Ultimately, Tony’s finances will take a downturn; he’ll learn a little humility and a little compassion, join Elizabeth in Bible study and fervent prayer, and both of them will become more devoted parents and hands-on companions to Danielle.

It’s as if the movie’s director, Alex Kendrick, an ordained minister who formerly practiced, had filmed most of the movie in the dusty black and white of the Kansas scenes in “The Wizard of Oz,” and brought it to glorious Technicolor when Miss Clara is onscreen—or even when she’s merely heard in voice-over. Abercrombie’s performance is thrilling, and is all the more impressive for its theatrical artifice. She’s a young person, with credits dating back only to 1998, whereas Miss Clara is at least in her seventies. Yet Abercrombie puts a little quaver in the voice and a little angularity in the gestures which persuasively and movingly suggest the subtlest and deepest deteriorations of age.

The unintentionally comical blandness of the characters’ lives is matched by that of Kendrick’s frontal direction, the script that he co-wrote with his brother Stephen, and the performances over all (except for Abercrombie’s). The blandness is apparently intentional; the movie’s subject is the irresistible power of Christian faith (specifically, Protestant faith) to solve the problems of life—love, family, work, and even (spoiler alert) potential trouble with the law.

By contrast, the religious rhetoric that the Kendricks have written for Miss Clara—especially a scene in which she speaks of allying herself with Jesus to chase away the devil, and in which she chillingly declares none to be worthy of God’s grace and all to deserve only God’s judgment—has a terrifying moral fury that raises evangelical virtue to a scalding intensity. The cinematic merit of these few moments makes perfect sense: they’re the creation of a preacher pouring out into art, sincerely and passionately, if clumsily, his own zeal and his own passion.

It’s precisely in Miss Clara’s unquestioned virtue, however, that the filmmakers once more run up against their limits. For example, by contrast, Spike Lee’s “Red Hook Summer,” centered on a small Brooklyn church, is filled with crossing axes of conflicts surrounding Christian faith—a preacher’s conflict between the spirit and the flesh, between devotion and desire; parishioners’ efforts to distinguish the bearer of a message from the message itself; and the trouble of a young person whose worldly curiosity conflicts with the apparent restrictions of religious dogma.

There’s another point of contact with Lee’s film: the protagonists of “War Room,” Miss Clara and the Jordan family, are black. But, unlike Lee’s film, “War Room” doesn’t feature race as a matter of discussion. The Christian wish-fulfillments of his story extend to the politics of race, as well. The Southern town where the action takes place is significantly—but not completely—post-racial. Elizabeth’s closest friends, who are also her colleagues, are white, and so is Danielle’s closest friend; Tony’s one close friend, Mike (Michael Jr.), a paramedic, is black. The church that the Jordans attend is integrated, though the pastor is white. On the other hand, there’s no apparent intermarriage seen among the townspeople (few of whom, in any case, are seen at all).

The societal divisions and exclusions that the movie perpetuates are, rather, those of class, of money. There are no poor people in “War Room,” with the exception of the off-screen character of Elizabeth’s sister and unemployed brother-in-law, who are seeking to borrow money for rent and a car payment (though even their poverty is presented as temporary and readily reparable). The entire movie takes place between comfort and luxury; economic success comes off as the great unifier.

Kendrick doesn’t preach the gospel of wealth; he also doesn’t suggest the trials of faith arising from the wearying struggles of unrelenting poverty. The religion of “War Room” is a religion without sacrifices—except for attitude. The newly devout Jordans sacrifice a clenched ferocity, a competitive fire that may have been getting results but that was deforming values and wasn’t leading toward happiness. Their new faith brings about a loosening of their striving, an acknowledgment of limits, a dedication to humble achievements, an acceptance of second place. But in Kendrick’s narrow depiction of their culture-free realm, in which the sole value is money, the sacrifices involved appear trivial; the movie stacks the deck in favor of Christian faith.

In the hands of a filmmaker whose vision is deeper, whose faith is more complex, and whose skill is sharper, it could have been a strong movie about the rewards—and the price—of faith. An acknowledgment of secular ecstasies to rival those of the Christian exaltation that Miss Clara delivers—an ecstatic counterpart in art, in power, in pleasure, in discipline, in creation, comparable to a passionate submission to the ideal of Jesus—could have made “War Room” a fascinating movie.

The liberal counterpart to a movie of explicit Christian advocacy such as “War Room” is the righteous-cause movie, whether a mediocre one, such as “Pride,” or an excellent one, such as “Selma.” In these films, dedication to an ideal of justice and progress—whether taking the place of faith or bound up with faith—yields grand and passionate spiritual rewards. But other films that locate ecstasy outside progress, as, for instance, in amorally hedonistic experience—such as Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street”—prove troubling to liberal audiences because their aesthetic virtues and ruthless delights pose as much of a challenge to progressive values as they do to Christian ones.

The problem with “War Room” isn’t its overt and unalloyed joy in faith; it’s the lack of any nonreligious joy to challenge faith. It’s no surprise that, besides Scorsese, the filmmaker who has made the quest for secular ecstasy his subject, his problem, the core of his entire splendid career, is one who came to the cinema from a severely religious childhood and who became one of Scorsese’s crucial collaborators: Paul Schrader.

Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, great movies, chaz's journal, contributors, the war room.

Now streaming on:

Professional campaign managers have had a bad image as long as they've had an image at all, which is roughly since the publication of Joe McGinniss' The Selling of the President: 1964. The occupation did not gain any luster last November when Ed Rollins shot himself in the foot with his tales of bribing New Jersey preachers. The typical campaign manager is seen as a Machiavellian spin doctor, and that's on a good day.

Perhaps the documentary "The War Room" will bring a deeper dimension to the profession's image. At the very least, it may dispel the notion that campaign managers pervert the course of democracy with behind-the-scenes omniscience; the surprise in the film is that they're often as confused as their candidates sometimes seem to be.

Filmed by the veteran documentarian D.A. Pennebaker and his wife, Chris Hegedus , the movie follows key members of Bill Clinton's campaign team from the snows of New Hampshire in January, 1992, to the victory celebration in Little Rock in November of that year. The movie's stars are James ("The Ragin' Cajun") Carville, the impish chief strategist for the Clinton campaign, and George Stephanopoulos , the young, polished former Rhodes scholar who was the campaign's media director.

The two are seen working together in an inside-outside combination. Stephanopoulos, often in a suit and tie, handsome in a Kennedyesque way, is the relaxed, usually calm press spokesman.

Carville, a tense and driven man who seems to shop for his clothes at the LSU sports store, works behind the scenes, often in the campaign's "war room" in a converted newspaper office in Little Rock.

Strategists would no doubt like to see themselves like modern Napoleons, moving pawns on the maps of continents. More often, this film shows, they get involved in screwy debates about the color, typography and size of their campaign posters. Their dedication to "the Candidate" is easily matched by the intensity with which they despise their opponents - and especially their opponents' troops, suspected in New Hampshire of tearing down Clinton signs (something, of course, Carville's volunteers would never, ever do . . . except, of course, in retaliation).

Most of the opening footage in the film was gathered by Pennebaker and Hegedus from TV and documentary crews who were on the scene in the early primaries. Their own footage begins at about the time of the Democratic Convention, where Clinton was nominated, and follows Carville and Stephanopoulos down the increasingly rocky road to the election victory. They allow the cameras access to surprisingly unguarded moments, as when they brief their squad of spin doctors after one of the Clinton-Bush debates ("Just keep on repeating that Bush was on the defensive all night"), and when the press reports on Clinton's draft history, Carville complains, "Every time somebody even farts the word draft, it makes the paper." Given the various scandals and would-be scandals that pursued the Clinton campaign, it seems almost incredible that he survived, and won. There is footage from grim early days in New England, right after the supermarket tabloids broke the first charges of Clinton's adultery, and footage months later, two days before the election, of Stephanopoulos calmly talking on the phone with a man who had still more hearsay he wanted to ventilate.

What you realize, watching Carville and Stephanopoulos move between grand strategy and damage control, is that they are good at their jobs, and probably as honest as was possible under the circumstances. Certainly their decision to allow access by documentarians shows a willingness to be seen, warts and all.

Carville is moving in a speech to his troops on the eve of the election. Exhausted, strung out, on the brink of tears, he tells them that politics has been his life, and that it is a life worth living.

Of course, during the course of the campaign, his own personal life changed dramatically when he became engaged to Mary Matalin , the strategist for the Bush campaign. How did they meet, how did they start dating, and what did they talk about? Now that would have made a movie.

From the Back Cover

In War Room , New York Times bestselling author Michael Holley gives readers an unprecedented look behind the scenes at three contending National Football League teams—from the draft room to the locker room to the sidelines—and grants access to the brilliant minds of Bill Belichick and his former protégés, Thomas Dimitroff and Scott Pioli.

In 1991, while he was with the Cleveland Browns football organization, Belichick was struck by the Big Idea: how to build the perfect team, one draft pick and one trade at a time. This strategy obsessed him, leading him on a remarkable personal and professional journey filled with miraculous finishes, heartbreaking losses, shattered relationships . . . and ultimately three Super Bowl championships. In Massachusetts, Belichick reunited with two former office employees from the Ohio days—Pioli, a low-paid scouting assistant, and Dimitroff, a groundskeeper and part-time scout—and together they refined and burnished Belichick's method for constructing a winning team. The end result was one of the greatest franchises in modern NFL history: the New England Patriots. Packed with never-before-told anecdotes and insights from team officials, players, coaches, and scouts, War Room is a fascinating, often astonishing story of grit and genius, and the art of building a championship team.

Movie Review

War is as old as human history, an aged widow named Miss Clara narrates in the opening moments of War Room . “We fight for power. We fight for riches. We fight for rights. We fight for freedom,” she says. “There always seems to be something to fight about.”

That’s as true for individuals as it is for countries. Yet despite the reality of relational conflict, Clara observes, “Very few of us know how to fight the right way.” We fight each other instead of recognizing our common spiritual enemy, she says, the thief who comes “to steal, kill and destroy.” If we hope to thwart Satan’s schemes, to counter his cunning strategies to divide us, we’ll need a beefy battle strategy. A strategy that can come from only one place: time spent asking for God’s guidance in our prayer closet.

Or, as Miss Clara calls it, her “war room.”

Elizabeth Jordan doesn’t know anything about such secret spiritual places. Oh, this successful real estate agent, wife and mother is a Christian. But tending to the details of her life is all-consuming for her right now. Especially when one of those details involves her deteriorating relationship with her husband, Tony.

Tony’s a star sales rep for a pharmaceutical company, a natural born talker whose megawatt smile has magnetic appeal. He pulls in four times as much money as Elizabeth does—a fact he’s quick to remind her of when she tries to give her sister some of it. Tony, you see, has no interest in helping people who are hardly working when he’s working so hard.

Tony doesn’t have much interest in his wife, either.

And caught in the middle of this troubled couple’s conflict is 10-year-old daughter Danielle, who longs for her parents’ love and attention … and longs for them to stop yelling at each other.

Reenter Clara. Elizabeth’s path crosses Clara’s when the older woman needs a real estate agent. And while Elizabeth’s trying to get the info she needs to sell her house, Clara can’t quit showing her she cares about more than just business. Soon a friendship is born, one in which an older woman begins to disciple a younger one about fighting the right way against the right enemy in the right place.

In the war room.

Positive Elements

Elizabeth is initially resistant to Clara’s delightfully pesky probing. But as Elizabeth learns to trust Clara more, their camaraderie deepens. Clara shares life experiences and spiritual counsel to help her younger charge make sense of her matrimonial mess. And as Elizabeth puts Clara’s wisdom into practice, it has a transformative effect on her fragile family.

[ Spoiler Warning ] Tony’s best friend, Mike, vows, “I’m not going to just watch your marriage die.” And after Tony and Elizabeth participate in some pretty intense verbal arguments in front of Danielle, they both realize that they’ve failed to be fully present with Danielle, to listen to her and to value her. Separately at first, then together, they make their daughter a priority again. Tony, especially, begins to recognize his failures as a husband and a father. He also makes amends for unethical and even illegal choices he’s made.

Spiritual Elements

Clara tells Elizabeth that two of her favorite rooms in the house are her “wall of remembrance” (where she keeps a list of answered prayers) and her humble “war room” closet (which has scrawled prayers and Scripture passages plastered all over). She quotes Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:6: “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

Clara senses from some of Elizabeth’s comments that all is not well in her life and in her marriage. And she insists that the only correct response to struggle is prayer. “It’s not my job to do the heavy lifting. No,” Clara says. “That is something only He can do.” She says each believer’s responsibility is to “seek Him, trust Him and stand on His Word.”

The pair’s next spiritual conversation centers on how Elizabeth should relate to her husband. “He’s not your enemy,” Clara exhorts. “You can’t fix him, and it’s not your responsibility to fix him.” Instead, she says, Elizabeth must love, respect and pray for him. “You got to plead with God so that He can do what only He can do. And then you got to get out of the way and let Him do it.”

Yet another conversation revolves around grace. Elizabeth balks at offering what she thinks of as a free pass when her husband doesn’t deserve it. Clara’s counters, “Do you deserve grace? None of us deserve grace.” Then she quotes Romans 3:10: “There is none righteous, not even one.” Clara preaches, “He give us grace, and He helps us to give it to others even when they don’t deserve it.”

[ Spoiler Warning ] Elizabeth does offer her husband grace, praying for him and changing the way she relates to his character flaws. And her grace and love become important redemptive influences in Tony’s path back to God. When he finally does crack, Tony’s repentant heart is full of remorse as he prays for help. Elizabeth tells Tony, who can’t believe she’s stayed with him, “I’m not done with us. I will fight for our marriage. I’ve learned that my contentment can’t come from you. I’m His before I’m yours. And because I love Jesus, I’m staying right here.”

Clara holds forth on the subject of Satan in this way: “The real enemy is Satan. He comes to steal, kill and destroy—stealing your joy, killing your faith and trying to destroy your family. It’s time for you to fight, Elizabeth.” And the fighting Clara’s got in mind requires being grateful, confessing, praying for her family’s needs and asking for forgiveness. Taking those words to heart, Elizabeth later blurts out, “I don’t know where you are, devil. You have played with my man. … No more. You are done. Jesus is the Lord of this house, and that means there’s no place for you here anymore. So take your lies … your accusations and get out in Jesus’ name. … My joy is found in Jesus, and just in case you forgot, He has already defeated you, so go back to hell where you belong and leave my family alone!”

Danielle notices her mom’s newfound commitment to prayer, and she begins offering her own supplications too, illustrating how parents’ spiritual disciplines rub off on their children. Two humorous lines involve getting out of the way so “God can hit your husband” and a hot sauce called “Wrath of God.”

Sexual Content

Tony has a flirtatious relationship with a woman named Veronica. It gets more serious when the couple has dinner while he’s on a business trip. Veronica suggests going back to her house, implying she’s ready to consummate their affair. Tony’s pondering her offer when he gets suddenly and seriously sick to his stomach and runs off to the bathroom (at exactly the time his wife is praying that his sinful intent will backfire).

Violent Content

Newsreel footage shows carpet bombing and firefights in Vietnam. In a nightmare, Tony tries to rescue his wife who is being manhandled by a hooded assailant. (We see scuffling and fighting.) Wide awake, Elizabeth and Clara are confronted by a would-be mugger who brandishes a knife and demands money. Clara, sounding quite a lot like Madea, responds by demanding, “You put that knife down right now in the name of Jesus!”

Crude or Profane Language

Drug and alcohol content.

Veronica suggests to Tony that they have a glass of wine.

Other Negative Elements

We hear Tony vomiting.

Fairly early in their friendship, Clara tells Elizabeth that if she can devote an hour a week to prayer, it will change her life.

One hour out of 168 .

On paper, it doesn’t seem like much. In reality, there are lots of reasons lots of us live lives just like Elizabeth’s. Like Elizabeth, we believe in Jesus. We go to church. We care about our faith. But when it comes to depending daily upon God to guide us, to deliver us and to radically reshape the way we think and feel and relate to others—especially in life’s most intense moments and toughest relationships—well, it’s easier for us to just keep muddling through. We know we should pray more, perhaps, but … we don’t.

Clara rightly identifies one of the obstacles to carving out time to pray and intentionally devoting a portion of each day to God: a spiritual enemy who wants us to do anything else but that. In addition, I think Jesus’ sobering words in His parable of the sower in Mark 4 add some other, perhaps more mundane culprits (“cares of the world,” “deceitfulness of riches,” “desires for other things”) to the list of factors that disperse our good intentions.

So what War Room does effectively is model what it really looks like to create space for prayer in our lives amid the real struggles that inevitably conspire to crowd it out.

Now, a drama about prayer warriors isn’t like a thriller about cold warriors, but the Kendrick Brothers still manage to give the story oomph as they illustrate how a commitment to prayer (and time spent in God’s Word as well) actually accomplishes what Paul describes in Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Those who pray faithfully for family and friends, some for years on end, may not see changes as dramatic or sudden as the ones Elizabeth and Tony experience onscreen, of course. But even if there’s a degree of cinematic idealization regarding the instant outcome of prayer in War Room , the message that the Kendricks deliver here is no less valid or profitable: Prayer is where God reshapes and remolds our souls into the image of His son, Jesus Christ. And the movie gives viewers an inspiring (aspirational) glimpse of what that spiritual metamorphosis might look like when we commit to making prayer a priority.

Forgiveness and faith are the keys to letting anger go.

Positive Role Models

Miss Clara is kind and hopeful and mentors Liz just when she needs it. And Liz is determined to get to know herself and to better herself instead of trying to "fix" her partner. Some characters' advice feels close to gender steretoyping.

Violence & Scariness

A man flashes a knife during a robbery. A man attacks another and threatens a woman. Loud arguments between a husband and wife.

Sex, Romance & Nudity

A man takes a woman who's not his wife out to dinner. He checks her out, but that's it.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that War Room is a faith-based drama from the producers of Courageous , Fireproof , and Facing the Giants that follows the trajectory of a family going through some challenging times. As a result, the themes lean toward mature territory -- including infidelity, unemployment, and marital discord. While there's no language, sex, or drinking/smoking to worry about, it's possible that some scenes -- when a man tries to rob people with a knife, for example, or when a man shoves a woman -- could be upsetting for younger viewers (as could the idea of parents not getting along).

Inspirational

Very good movies, what's the story.

High-powered couple Liz (Priscilla Shirer) and Tony Jordan (T.C. Stallings) seem to have everything: a big house, nice cars, well-paying jobs (he's a salesman, she's a real estate broker). But behind the glossy facade is a marriage that's fast unraveling. Tony is mean and distant, and Elizabeth is angry all the time. And their daughter is caught in the middle, her joy eroded by their disagreements. When Liz meets an elderly client, Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie), who shares her own strategy for life -- she has a prayer room from which she talks to God about all of life's challenges -- Liz decides to establish her own version of a war room, with dramatic results.

Is It Any Good?

While this drama's script isn't fresh or surprising, and some advice veers toward gender stereotypes, deeply felt acting somewhat elevates WAR ROOM. Nearly all the actors are able to tap into an appealing authenticity that translates to the screen. And though it would have been easy to vilify those who wrong others, there's empathy for all the characters, even the disaffected ones. (Though that also lets them off the hook too quickly.)

It's too bad the film leans toward oversimplification (and that it somewhat suggests that a wife has to share the blame for how her husband treats her); it deserved a more nuanced script that didn't hit audiences over the head with its messages. Thank goodness for its sense of humor and some joyful moments (including an infectiously fun Double Dutch segment) -- they make the flaws nearly forgivable.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about how War Room depicts a family going through problems. How does the movie explore how kids are affected by their parents' marital issues? Is it relatable and realistic?

The film also explores the financial pressures families face these days in a world where consumerism runs rampant. How does it handle that subject?

Do you think only families/viewers who embrace the movie's faith-based messages will appreciate it? Why or why not?

The War Room Review – An Honest Look Inside

Welcome to this War Room review. The War Room is one of the flagship products of Andrew Tate (along with The Real World ) and is something that he consistently talks about a lot.

In this review, I will aim to shine some light on the War Room and tell you what it is, what you can expect, and more importantly if it is right for you in more detail.

Who Is Andrew Tate?

Andrew Tate is a popular influencer in the make money online space, and may also associate him with the red pill and dating niches as well despite his expressing on many occasions that this was not his intention.

The reason for this is that after retiring from being a 4x Kickboxing World Champion, Tate went on to pursue a very successful entrepreneurial career. A career that he is not shy of flaunting, and while that might get under some people’s skin a little bit, you can’t deny that he is able to show receipts for his success.

It’s, for this reason, a lot of people follow him and respect what he has to say.

Tate essentially has programs teaching you everything that he has found success in, from getting into the webcam industry to making money with web-based dating , and now with the release of his latest community product, Hustlers University 2.0, he and his War Room friends are teaching basically every method to make money online under the sun.

But this is a War Room Review, Why Am I Talking About Hustlers University?

The reason is simple. Tate has stated a few times that Hustlers University is for people who haven’t made any money yet, and the War Room is for people who have already made money.

The reason for this is that when you actually make decent money a whole other world opens up to you, and within that world, there are also new problems and new reasons to need a solid network of like-minded individuals.

Remember, most people don’t know other rich and successful people and if you became rich tomorrow, you still wouldn’t.

So, in a nutshell, the War Room is a community for successful men to network and communicate on everything outside of just merely starting a business. The war room communicates with its members also during meet-ups.

What Exactly Is The War Room By Andrew Tate?

The War Room is a community of successful, I repeat, successful men who have already overcome the initial stages of starting a successful business. It is not just entrepreneurs either. There are men from all walks of life, which is what makes the War Room such a valuable community.

If you need help in any area of your life, there’s a “War Room Brother” on hand to get information from.

Tate created the War Room because he understands that you are average of the 5 people you hang around with the most and that your network is your net worth.

What To Expect Inside?

So what is Andrew Tates war room? The War Room is a global network channel and online community where you can join different groups or rooms based on what it is you want to discuss or need. And what you have access to inside the War Room is really on some next level.

Any fan of Andrew Tate’s YouTube channels knows that one of the major pulls of the War Room is access to International legal documentation like Visas, Passports, etc.

Note that it is all completely legal. It may sound like Project Mayhem from Fight Club, but I assure you it isn’t.

Within the different channels, you have topics in numerous areas, including, but not limited to:

• Crypto and Investing
• Fitness and Health
• Dating & Relationships
• Business and Entrepreneurship
• Legal Stuff

And note that these aren’t just discussions you’ll find on multiple groups on Reddit. The only people speaking on this stuff are those who live it, have found a lot of success in it, and are aware they are in a very tight-knit group.

It’s the way this information is communicated. As I mentioned earlier, this group acts as an inner circle or even a brotherhood. You are learning from people who know what they’re talking about, not some anonymous forum member.

You’re getting access to information that not a lot of people in this world are privy to, which is one of the reasons for the price tag, which we will get to shortly.

War Room Summits

For those of you who follow Andrew Tate’s YouTube channel, you’ll see that he is constantly traveling the world and in many of his videos, he is meeting with other War Room members. Members in the War Room span over 50 countries and are located anywhere from Miami to Bucharest and everywhere in between.

As a War Room member, you are privy to attending exclusive summits and even training that happens in various cities across the globe. Recently in the Ukraine, Dubai, and Miami.

Within the War Room, there are also other sub-groups you can join, one being Iron Shadows, and it’s certain members who are paid by Tate to basically live like agents around the world.

While they are still War Room members, they also act as employees based on their life experience and performance during certain tests that occur at various War Room member meetups.

The War Room is essentially a place that is designed to turn you from a worm into a man of genuine means and purpose, and a success in every possible metric, from your finances to your fitness.

Is The War Room Legit?

The War Room is for everyone. If you want to join the War Room, it’s definitely a place you can get guidance and attain success. A lot of members of the War Room have joined with nothing and are now running successful online brands and successful businesses.

The kicker is you need about £4,147 to join or roughly $5,500 USD.

Not everyone has that kind of money to just put forward into a group, which for the most part is fairly secretive. It’s for this reason, Hustlers University (Now, The Real World ) was created. Hustlers University acts as a gateway to the War Room.

Succeed and build a business at Hustlers University, and you’ll have enough money to build on that with what the War Room offers.

What Tate is really looking for is potential. He recently referred to himself as Morpheus from the Matrix and he wants to free the minds of those with potential, those that will listen and want to succeed and are willing to do what it takes.

If this sounds like you, you could likely join Hustlers University if you wanted something more affordable and is taught by War Room members, or if you do have the money and you like the sound of the War Room, dive right in.

Do note though that people are held to a standard inside the War Room, and if you are not holding yourself to a standard and putting in the work, it’s not unheard of for members to be kicked out and banned.

The War Room isn’t a place for slouches. It’s a place to go to not only become the best version of yourself but to maintain it as well as a form of respect to yourself and the other members paying to be around high-caliber winners.

Do People Really Find Success In The War Room?

I’d say that the War Room is a place with a mix of people who have already found success and those who are on the journey.

The below testimonials are taken from this page , where you can read more.

Is The War Room Worth It?

Because the War Room is often advertised alongside or compared to other programs out there, it is often viewed as the same thing.

In my opinion, I think the War Room is a good investment for those with the primary goal of expanding their network and building upon something they’ve already created. Money or otherwise.

When I started to find a degree of success in my own business, I started feeling like I need to expand my circle of friends. I had the ability to travel freely, but like most people, I don’t have friends who are on that level as me. It’s almost impossible to find without being in some kind of group online.

For this reason, I think the War Room is valuable. Not only can you find people on the same level as you, but you can also actually meet them, and learn a whole lot of high-level, inside information in any major industry or facet of the world.

If you are looking to make money online, and you are basically at zero or struggling or you’re a student, it wouldn’t be my first choice for everyone. There are a few people out there who fit the requirements of both having the money, and the time and being fully willing to dedicate time and energy to building and learning

But many of you have financial and time constraints, which means that your best option is to start making money and building something first.

Perhaps, when you hit a decent amount of cash flow every month you too might come to the conclusion I did, which is that you have outgrown your circle in certain ways and you need to find people who can take you even further.

Remember, it’s extremely difficult to find a network like this and I believe the members when they say,

“There is no other network that exists like this anywhere in the world.”

I think they’re right, but I think for many of you, there is a time and a place to think about that, and many of you need to focus on your money first.

Are There Any War Room Alternatives?

Andrew Tate War Room is a one-of-a-kind community and aims to pull people out of socially induced incarceration. As I’ve said and for many of you out there, you might not be quite ready for that, and that’s OK.

This site was made for people like you, and my SLVRSPN program was definitely created for you.

So if you’re in that boat and you want to learn from Andrew Tate and the War Room, I’d suggest you pick up The Real World (Formally Hustlers University 2.0) by clicking here.

If you want to know more first, I did a full in-depth review of it as well as included a free exclusive bonus bundle to go with it.

Hustlers University is essentially a Discord where you can learn all about the different ways to make money online and comes at a $49/month price tag.

There are discord channels on

• Freelancing
• Affiliate Marketing
• Real Estate

What Do I Recommend?

For many people, $50/Month is also somewhat steep and the idea of a discord server with lots of people talking away doesn’t resonate with them as a suitable place for learning.

My own Brand-New program SLVRSPN is a program, which is set up to turn you into a professional Content & Affiliate Marketer

That is my area of expertise, and while you won’t be learning all of the options available to you in the Hustlers University Discord, you will be targeting one area FULLY, which is the easiest to succeed in, Affiliate and Content Marketing.

Another advantage of SLVRSPN is that it teaches you in a way that you most likely want to learn.

See, with most programs out there, Hustlers University is Included. You get given kind of a formula and ideas as to what you should do and it follows the famous saying,

“Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish he’ll eat for a lifetime.”

While this is all well and good, I know a lot of you out there have a sense of urgency and want a guarantee that something is going to work.

And, that’s exactly why SLVRSPN (Silverspoon) is called that…

I will 100% be teaching you how to fish, but I have designed it in a way where I am also just giving you the damn fish.

In SLVRSPN , I will literally spoon-feed you the steps to having a successful affiliate and content marketing business.

As long as you just stay consistent and follow along, you absolutely WILL succeed with it.

So those are my recommendations. Obviously, I’m biased towards one, but that is my honest War Room review, as well as my recommendations for the different types of people I assume, who are reading this.
