Power through Prayer has been called "one of the truly great masterpieces on the theme of prayer." The term classic can appropriately be applied to this outstanding book. In twenty provocative and inspiring chapters, each prefaced with quotations from spiritual giants, Edward M. Bounds stresses the imperative of vital prayer in the life of a pastor. He says, ". . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world."

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Power Through Prayer by E.M. Bounds is a matchless study of this most vital subject. In an age when material matters are paramount, Bounds draws the mind of the believer to his or her highest calling - prayer. Diminutive in size, yet dynamic in content, Power Through Prayer levels a hard hitting challenge at all believers, particularly those engaged in full time ministry. Bounds diagnoses the problem of the modern church as finding its root in a lack of prayerfulness among its preachers and people. His style is literary, earnest and powerful. With helpful and quotable passages taken from the writings and lives of such men as Spurgeon, Hyde, and Wesley, Power Through Prayer issues a call to real and immediate prayerfulness. The central dichotomy of the work sets the ministry of the prayer-empowered preacher against those of certain preachers whose ministry is legal, professional, prayerless, and dead. An honest, well written wake up warning to all engaged in the Lord's work, I recommend this book unreservedly and counsel all believers - young and old - to buy it, read it and practice it. A genuinely life changing book.

Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913), was a mighty man of God, a Methodist minister and devotional writer. Born in Shelby Country, Missouri, he first became a lawyer, but after the American Civil War he became a minister for the Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. Bounds is most remembered today for his "Spiritual Life Books," all of which were written in the last seventeen years of his life, after a lifetime of serving God and his fellow man.
This wonderful book was written by Rev. Bounds as advice to the preacher, and in it he tells the reader why prayer is important, how to pray, and what it means. But, don't get the idea that this is a philosophical work directed at learned readers. Instead, this book is wonderful advice on prayer that will inform and convict any Christian reader.
Indeed, I must say that Rev. Bounds really knew what he was talking about. The book is very readable, and I found myself convicted by what he had to say. This is a great book on prayer, one that I would recommend for any and every preacher, and also any and every other Christian. This is a Christian classic that I highly recommend to all believers.
By the way, here's a great quote from Power Through Prayer: "What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use-men of prayer, men mighty in prayer." As true today as the day it was written!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Excellent book not only on prayer but also on relationship with God. Short chapters to the point. Essential for any one who ministers or considers ministering in a church. Every chapter is a powerful word.
