Publisher's summary

Jesus said, "If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do."

"That," says E. M. Bounds, "is the Divine declaration, and it opens a vista of infinite resources and possibility."

Throughout his ministry, Bounds rose early every morning to pray for three hours. Out of this deep prayer experience, he could say, "Without prayer, the Christian life, robbed of its sweetness and beauty, becomes cold and formal, and dead; but in the secret place where God talks with His own, the Christian life grows into such a testimony of Divine power that all men will feel its influence and be touched by the warmth of its love...That, surely is the purpose of all real prayer and the end of all true service."

Terrific read!

It’s heartbreaking to hear most people pray today. I’m usually left with the impression they are merely complaining to a God they don’t even know, gossiping to everyone within earshot, lecturing to someone, or giving God their to-do list, always in hopes of changing an unfavorable situation or someone other than themselves. Christ warned he road to heaven is narrow and few will find it. This little book can help people find it and secure some of the rewards that accompany the Kingdom!

Great book and Fantastic Narraration!

I’ve always heard that E.M. Bounds was a prayer afficienado, and the wisdom within this work provides the proof. The narrarator did an incredible job with this 100+ year old work, alternating between accents with each different quote.

To overcome

this book shares the power and perspective of prayer by many many great saints of times past. It is a must read for anyone wanting encouragement for a richer deeper prayer life. Most encouraging, convicting and propelling!!!!

Easy to listen to

I think the narrator made this work more accessible for me. The change of voices and accents as he read older English made it more like listening to a play, than reading a book. Very skilled! Great reminders in the material.

Teachings on Prayer

JWright
I knew that a discussion from E.M. Bounds would cause me to think about my own prayer life. I have marked several teachings that I can review at another time. I especially appreciated the examples the author provided!

God longs to hear from us!

Good examples of the power of prayer. Teaches how much God wishes us to commune with Him.
