Leonard Ravenhill was a man with a passion for prayer. I had the honour of being able to meet brother Ravenhill and prayed at his home with him and his lovely wife, Martha. There were few writers who had impacted Leonard Ravenhill as had the works of E.M. Bounds. Brother Ravenhill took the combined works on prayer by Bounds and put them together in this wonderful book.

The book itself is hard to find but worth finding. The chapters are edited by Ravenhill from the collected books of Bounds. Ravenhill, being a great writer himself on prayer, was able to take the meat out of each of the books and put them into this work. What a wonder it is! It is one of the greatest challanges to prayer that a disciple of Jesus will read other than the New Testament.

Overall I highly recommmend this book to disciples. Your prayer life may be lacking but when you read this book (no matter how often you pray) you will find a heart that cries to draw near to the Lord (Hebrews 4:14-16).

Prayer is the forgotten language of the present day church. EM Bounds expounds on communicating with God to a level far few will ever pay it's price to seek out. Leonard Ravenhill, the great revival preacher, does a great job in pulling the "meat" of the text from all of EM Bounds books into one great stronghold breaking book.

This is probably one of the greatest books on prayer the Christian church will ever know.
