Learn the secrets of effective prayer for every need. The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer is the definitive Bounds collection in modern English. Eight classic explorations cover every aspect of prayer in a readable way. Included in this volume are 120 entries on what this great pastoral leader taught about the essentials, necessity, possibilities, power, purpose, reality, and weapon of prayer.
Because Bounds so diligently practiced what he preached, he was able to capture the essence of prayer and his works live on to call today's Christians to higher discipleship and more energetic prayer lives.
Inside this collection:
1. Power through Prayer
Enrich your understanding of God's work in the world. The caricature of lawyers as money grubbing, selfish narcissists is often derided in popular culture. But Jesus did not come for the righteous, but for the sinner. He has used men trained in the law, such as Calvin and Luther, throughout the history of his church to edify the people of God. Edward M. Bounds is one of these men. Bounds did not consider his time in prayer as idle time, but a time that was effective in changing the world through the power and grace of God.
2. Prayer and Praying Men
Edward Bounds takes a different approach in Prayer and Praying Men by focusing on persons of prayer. Bounds examines the lives of nine different biblical figures: Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Hezekiah, Ezra, Nehemiah, Samuel, Daniel, and Paul. In his examination, Bounds explores how important prayer was to the spiritual lives of these men. He provides concrete examples of the importance and nature of prayer, grounded in biblical narratives.
3. Purpose in Prayer
Bounds 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.
4. The Essentials of Prayer
This volume focuses on the proper mindset believers must attain in order to have the best prayer life. One must have a humble heart and undivided allegiance to God in order to pray effectively. Bounds also believes strongly that prayer is available to all people, even those who only come in times of trouble.
5. The Necessity of Prayer
Bounds suggests that prayer is an essential part of the Christian believer's life. He writes, "the Christian soldier, if he fight to win, must pray much." He connects the nature of prayer to other features of the Christian life, such as faith, reverence, patience, hope, character, conduct, and faithfulness.
6. The Possibilities of Prayer
The story of prayer is the story of great achievements. Prayer is a wonderful power placed by Almighty God in the hands of His saints, which may be used to accomplish great purposes and to achieve unusual results. Discover for yourself the infinite possibilities of prayer.
7. The Reality of Prayer
Bounds argues that prayer is not simply a human invention. Prayer brings us closer to God - both through God's answering of our prayers, and through our own character being changed by prayer.
8. The Weapon of Prayer
Bounds reminds us that throughout Biblical history, many of God's greatest movements were incited by the prayers of God's people.
