The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds on Prayer

Summary: Next to Bible, EVERY CHRISTIAN MUST STUDY THIS BOOK.
Review: Folks,

There is NO BOOK any more inspiring for a Christian than this book, period. Most people have never heard of this book. Very unfortunate.

The book itself is not magic. What it does is remind us that we ought to be praying (without ceasing). Why would anyone be motivated to do that, when there are hundreds of other things to do in life? Read the book and find out.

EM Bounds must have been very close to the LORD, based upon what he has written. Another great bio is that of George Muller.

If your prayer life needs a kick start, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. It is over 500 pages, but is made up of several distinct books. You will be blessed.

God Bless

Summary: Keeps inspiring me to pray!
Review: This book has been a wonderful inspiration to me. It sparked me to really place emphasis and give much effort to praying. Prayer is essential to knowing God and being fruitful. So we must pray whether we are good at it or not. Whether we feel inspired or not. For "men ought always to pray and not to faint." So I pray and one thing I ask is that He would breathe on my weak prayer life and cause me to become a real praying man.

Also, this collection is superior to the Harold Chadwick edited collection. That version alters Bounds writing too much. I compared the first chapter of the two and there were significant alterations that changed the meaning of some thoughts. (This version also claims to have modernized the language but, thankfully, I don't think much was changed.)

Summary: Revolutionary to One's Prayer Life
Review: This book will revolutionize your prayer life. It contains all eight of E. M. Bounds' classic books on prayer. I have read "Power Through Prayer" five times and it convicts and motivates me every time. It is a must read for pastors. "The Possibilities of Prayer" is one of the most faith-stretching books I have ever read. Bounds has a way of pressing to the heart the astounding promises made to faith and prayer. Few books have caused me to face the paucity of my own faith as has this one. I am actually still working through this large volume and find it to be a regular source of nourishment for my soul. There is an amazing grasp of Scripture in Bounds' writings and not nearly as much repetition as one might think. Bounds wrote with a fiery pen. If you want to be set aflame to burn in prayer, let this book ignite you.
