E. M. Bounds on Prayer

<h3><strong style="color: rgba(0, 102, 204, 1)">"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" </strong><span style="color: rgba(0, 102, 204, 1)">Matthew 6:9</span></h3><p> Some of the most incredible, hard-hitting, and revealing words on prayer came from the pen of E.M. Bounds. Of the 11 books he wrote, 9 are centered on this topic. For over a century, pastors, Christians, and teachers have been using his words for guidance and inspiration for their own communication with God. They have all become sought-after classics to this day.</p><p><strong> Who better to draw from on the subject than a man who brought revival to his region through prayer meetings? Known as a person who spent hours every day with God, he not only wrote about prayer, he practiced it.</strong></p><p> Bringing these truths to modern readers meant having a careful understanding of the text and meaning without losing anything along the way. As a result, older phrases and words have been adapted while holding onto the treasure of Bounds' insight and wisdom.</p><p> More than that, we have searched through all of his 9 books on prayer to create an easy-to-use devotional highlighting some of his most enlightening commentaries on the different aspects of prayer. It was not easy to choose from such a vast storehouse of spiritual wealth-what to include and what to leave out. In some instances, we have taken excerpts and passages from the different books and aligned them together according to the same themes.</p><p> To assist with this, we have included Daily Reflections at the end of each reading to assist in your study and quiet time.</p><p><strong><em>Our heart in creating this month-long daily devotional was to challenge, encourage, and hopefully bring you into a deeper relationship with Jesus as you realize the importance of the tool of prayer that is available to every one of us.</em></strong></p>
