If you want to know just how much things have changed in the last 150 years, in terms of spirituality and faith, you should read this book. Then again, if you want to see just how little they have changed you should also read this book, for the challenges Bounds lays forth are essentially the same o ...more

While some of the points are excellent and the book overall is helpful, I’d recommend it to more mature Christians because of a few theological gripes such as the misconception that you cannot talk to God from anywhere if it’s “too sinful or too worldly” like a “saloon or dance hall.” Thank goodness ...more

Let's say that if prayer were hard work (and it is), this is the whip that drives me to my knees. It's divided into sub-sections that make it a book that can be worked through over a long period of time (I still am). I love that he calls prayer a "struggle" and a "wrestling" with God. Read it. You'l ...more
