Product Description

Purpose in Prayer is another treasure from Edward Bounds on prayer. Bounds, an admired spiritual guide, describes the purpose behind prayer and not simply the purpose of prayer. He focuses on an individual's purpose in prayer; for one can understand the purpose of prayer, but not see the purpose in one's own prayers. Thus, Bounds attempts to encourage believers to not simply see the purpose of prayer, but to see that purpose in their own personal, private prayers. Throughout, Bounds frequently quotes other Christian thinkers, adding support and insight into his points about prayer. Composed of twelve short chapters, Purpose in Prayer is a rewarding book on prayer.

From the Back Cover

The prayer of faith is the one force that can turn your life into a testimony of God¿s divine power. In fact, it is the only power in the universe that can change the purposes of God and bring victory to the Christian life. Even so, it is a power that is too infrequently used.
E. M. Bounds encourages every believer to open a ¿vista of infinite resource and possibility¿ by living a life of purposeful prayer. He explains how you can:

? Have the assurance of God¿s answer, every time you pray!
? See the results of your prayers!
? Obtain all that God has for you!
? Obtain your inheritance and all that is Christ¿s!
? Do all things by God¿s aid!
? Know what to pray for!
? Grow in the likeness of Christ!
? Overcome the obstructions to daily prayer and meditation!
? Live in perfect love!

The success and power of the Christian life depend on our ability to pray. Discover how you can be on the forefront of what God is doing and how you can become a living witness to others. The secret is prayer!

4.0 out of 5 stars We should all do some praying!, November 11, 2000
This review is from: Purpose In Prayer (Paperback)
This book gave me more insight to the meaning of prayer. Prayer is based on faith - the desire, belief and expectancy. The author tell us about the energy of prayer, how and why we must be persistent in prayer, and the results that are possible due to prayer. You can create you own results (miracles) by praying (if you know how and why).

Even if you don't take time to read this book, at least learn to how / when to pray and learn what to expect. God wants to be our friend. He ask us to go to our secret place (inside) and talk with him. Who knows? You might see the miracles (results) in your life if you pray nonstop, giving thanks and praise and "asking (the right way) so you can receive (thy will be done)".

5.0 out of 5 stars Purpose In Prayer, April 3, 2010
This review is from: Purpose in Prayer (Paperback)
"Purpose In Prayer" by E.M. Bounds focuses on the real purpose of prayer being that God's children will grow in the likeness of Him.

Among the points covered include:

1. The secret of success in God's kingdom is prayer.
2. God is willing to give but we are slow to ask.
3. Christians fail to get their prayers answered because they do not wait on God.
4. God delights to hear us pray.
5. The people who do mighty things for God are often mighty people of prayer.
6. There is a strong connection between an obedient life and answered prayer.
7. The person who truly prays gets things gets many things from God that the prayerless person doesn't get.
8. Praying people must be strong in hope, faith, and prayer.

A great, encouraging, and challenging read.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prayer Purpose, September 24, 2007
Good book about the purpose in prayer. Prayer moves the hand of God on our behalf. God shapes our world by prayer. The more praying there is in the world the better our world will be.

God wants us not to be slack in our prayers, but pray without ceasing. The secret of success in Christ's Kingdom is the ability to pray.
