Edward Bounds (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2007 | Series: Authentic Original Classic

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-READ FOR ALL PREACHERS ! !, February 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Power Through Prayer (Paperback)

E.M. Bounds wrote 9 books, 7 of which were on the subject of prayer. My spiritual grandfather, Leonard Ravenhill, said of this book when he got it, "I purposed to go through this book at once. But I didn't do that. This book went through me!" Power Through Prayer is power-packed with sketches of the lives of some great men of prayer throughout the centuries. It is by far my most recommended book on the subject of prayer. Buy extra copies for all your friends, as well as any ministers you know. It'll bless their socks off!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dose of Prayer Motivation, Inspiration, and Passion, March 1, 2002

This review is from: Power Through Prayer (Paperback)

There are many good resources on the subject of prayer; however, once you've understood the basics, I've discovered the greatest way to learn to pray is simply to pray. "Power Through Prayer" is packed with inspiration and motivation to get you started and to keep you praying. Bounds' primary target is the minister of the Gospel. His aim is sure and his words will certainly penetrate any sincere but prayerless preacher's heart. E.M. Bounds was a tireless man of prayer, whose words ring with authenticity, passion, and conviction. I have the entire series of Bounds' eight short books on the subject of prayer. "Power Through Prayer" is by far my favorite and a book I regularly go back to when my own prayer life is losing its fire. For a dose of prayer motivation, inspiration, and passion there is no better book than this classic 128-page work, "Power Through Prayer."

This review is from: Power Through Prayer (Paperback)

While Bounds has written a classic on how important prayer is for the pastor, the layperson can also learn much about prayer.

Among the important points covered include:

1. God is looking for better men and prayer is the preacher's most powerful weapon.
2. Powerful prayer and powerful preaching are inseparably linked.
3. For great preachers, God is the center of their attention and prayer is the road to God.
4. Keep God first in your morning thoughts.
5. Holy character is formed by real and powerful praying.
6. He who has prayed well also studies well.
7. God can work wonders when He can find suitable people.

Read and enjoy this classic and be encouraged to be a more powerful person of prayer!
