Two by Bounds

Two classics by E. M. Bounds in one affordable volume! Containing The Necessity of Prayer and The Reality of Prayer. Edward M. Bounds’ practice of prayer and writings upon the topic are like a hearty furnace, stoked and glowing brightly red. Gather around the luminescence of that fire and warm yourself in the glow. The warmth which has spread to millions continues to produce heat and volcanic change. The Necessity of Prayer is not simply a list of prayers for one to work through, but also a discourse on the very nature of prayer. Bounds connects the nature of prayer to other features of the Christian life, such as faith, reverence, patience, hope, character, conduct, and faithfulness. The author’s passion for prayer--which compelled him to write nine books on the topic--shines through in this work, and cannot but help motivate those who read it to also see the necessity of prayer. In his powerful book The Reality of Prayer Edward Bounds shows how prayer brings us closer to God--both through God's answering of our prayers, and through our own character being changed by prayer. The author discusses Christ as both a teacher of prayer and as an example of prayer. He concludes his encouraging and enlightening discussion by explaining the role of the Holy Spirit in prayer.
