Power Through Prayer

Excellent way to begin or end a day. Quick, short, little Bible quotes, meditations and prayers that's just enough to get you thinking. Small enough to fit in pocket or purse. Each day Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 has it's own page - no weekdays posted so it can be used year after year. Nice gold edged pages and ribbon page marker makes it a perfect gift. I LOVE MINE!

E.M. Bounds books are very convicting. In fact, few writers can touch a saints heart like E.M. Bounds. His words (while over 100 years old) are still full of truth. Without a doubt Bounds writes as a man with a passion for Jesus Christ who knows that power truly only comes through prayer. In our "modern" era it is often the duty of leaders in the church to look more like business CEO's rather than biblical servants of Christ. Churches "hire" men based on their resumes rather than their brokeness and their humility nor are they much concerned with their prayer lives. Bounds attacks this false Christianity head on. He shows that power comes through prayer. Much head knowledge is no substitute, says Bounds, to a dynamic prayer life. If we are to preach Christ, we must pray! While popular preachers such as Osteen, Warren, Stanley, and others sell books full of milk - Bounds books don't sell because of their truth. The "purpose driven" church knows nothing of what Bounds writes and never will until we learn the lesson of Isaiah 31:1 and then we will pray (Luke 18:1). Read this book and weep.

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!

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 book is in a word brilliant. Bounds just goes for the throat and shows how prayer is so important to Christian growth, preaching and evangilism. It was very convicting to me and God used it to show me how important prayer is. There are no shortcuts in here, just the truth. Prayerful saints become prayerful through time not right away.
