From the Back Cover

What is more important than ministry? What is, in fact, the one thing that "puts God to work"? Prayer! In response to His children's prayers and petitions, God has promised to answer, to do , an to give us "all things whatsoever." E.M. Bounds expounds on God's need of people who pray. He explains:-Why prayer moves God to act-How busyness in church activities can hinder prayer-Why Jesus could not dispense with prayer-How the early apostles gave themselves to prayer-Why effective preaching depends on effective praying-Why we need to intercede for others-Why prayer is essential in God's kingdomInspiring sketches of the prayer lives of dedicated Christians, such as David Brainerd, George Mller, and Jonathan Edwards are included. Learn how you, too, can prepare yourself for effective participation in the highest calling Christ has given the church--to advance God's kingdom through prayer."Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." -Jeremiah 33:3 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

About the Author

Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913) has given us a powerful legacy of prayer, believing it to be the strongest link between God and man. Bounds was a pastor and editor who spent many years reading, writing, praying, and taking part in revival ministry. Deeply concerned for the world, Bounds would rise at 4 A.M. to pray. Since the time of the apostles, no man besides Bounds has left such a rich inheritance of research into the life of prayer. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: The Weapon of Prayer (Paperback)

"The Weapon Of Prayer" by EM Bounds focuses on the importance God sets on prayer and His promise to bless prayer-released blessing.

Among the points covered include:

1. Prayer is more important than religious activity.
2. Prayer puts God's works in God's hands and keeps it there.
3. Education alone does not have the power to do God's work.
4. There is a great need for people carry God with them into the secular affairs of life.
5. Unbelief and prayerlessness go together.
6. Christ could do nothing apart from prayer.
7. Many examples in the Bible show that God responds to the prayer of His people.
8. In doing God's work there is no substitute for praying.

A great read for someone who needs inspiration on the importance of prayer in the Christian life.

Highly recommended.

This review is from: The Weapon of Prayer (Paperback)

This book is about how prayer is our weapon against the enemy.

Prayer is so important to God and to man. God helps us through everything when we pray.

Recommend for all that need a better understanding of why we need to pray.
