John Eckhardt's "Prayers for Spiritual Battle" series (Charisma House) has topped more than 1 million units sold. The series shows readers how to gain victory over stubborn demons and strongholds.

"We are honored to publish books with such spiritual depth and mass appeal," said Tessie DeVore, executive vice president of Charisma House Book Group. "Apostle John Eckhardt's message is for such a time as this. We will continue to work to see more lives changed by his indispensable teaching on the power of prayer."

The first title in the six-book series, Prayers That Rout Demons, became a best-seller after its release in December 2007. Prayers That Break Curses was released in 2009, followed by Prayers That Bring Healing (2010), Prayers That Release Heaven on Earth (2010), Prayers That Activate Blessings (2011) and Prayers That Move Mountains (2012).

In August, Charisma Media founder and CEO Steve Strang presented Eckhardt with a commemorative plaque on the sales milestone achievement at the author's Crusaders Church in Chicago.

"The success of John Eckhardt's 'Prayers for Spiritual Battle' series is indicative of a felt need in the marketplace," Strang said. "The books have reignited people's passion for praying for others as well as a myriad of personal needs to overcome life circumstances."

Charisma House has also published additional titles by Eckhardt, including God's Covenant With You for Your Family; Women's Daily Declarations for Spiritual Warfare; Prayers That Release Heaven and Move Mountains; Daily Declarations for Spiritual Warfare; The Invisible King and His Kingdom; Prayers That Bring Healing and Activate Blessings; Ordinary People, Extraordinary Power; Prayers That Rout Demons and Break Curses; and God Still Speaks.
