Power Through Prayer"What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men men of prayer. from Chapter 1: Men of Prayer Needed Some Christians insist that 19th-century American pastor Edward M. Bounds offered a more profound understanding of prayer for modern believers than any other contemporary religious thinker. This classic book on personal communication with God explores how sincere prayer brings faith to life. It examines prayer, the great essential why a praying ministry will be successful prayer and devotion united an example of devotion the necessity of preparing the heart grace from the heart rather than the head and much more. Seekers of wisdom are sure to find words of truth in this inspirational volume.American Methodist minister and writer EDWARD McKENDREE BOUNDS (1835 1913) served as a chaplain in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He wrote several best-selling books on prayer, including The Necessity of Prayer, Possibilities of Prayer, The Weapon of Prayer, and others." |
