About the author

Edward McKendree Bounds was a Methodist minister, revivalist, author and lawyer.

Unsuccessful in the California gold rush of 1849, E.M. Bounds returned home to Missouri and became the state’s youngest practicing attorney at age 19. In his early twenties he was deeply impacted by the Third Great Awakening, and at age 24 he was ordained for ministry. During his lifetime he pastored churches, traveled as an evangelist, served as a Civil War chaplain, edited a Christian periodical and was a devoted husband and father. But E.M. Bounds is best known for prayer. His daily habit was to spend the time between 4 am and 7 am praying. His writings on prayer are widely acclaimed to be among the finest of any author before or since.

Reviews

[Joseph · Rating 5 out of 5]

So far this is the best of the books by Bounds that I have read. Good clear advice and examples from Scripture.

[Clara Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an old book but a good read. Using stories from the Bible Bounds encourages the reader to pray with faith that God still hears and answers prayer. He says that"Prayer unites with God's purposes and lays itself out to secure those purposes." "Through prayer, God defeats the opponents of those who are prosecuting His enterprises." "...praying by true Christians would greatly help spread the Word of the Lord."

While the message of the book is worthwhile, it could've been delivered in half the space, or even less. The repetitiveness renders the book dull when it should've been exciting. Disappointing.
