Description
"When I first read E. M. Bounds’ eight books on prayer, I was certain there was no need for anyone else to ever write another book on prayer, that Bounds had said it all, and said it much better than anyone else could possibly say it. I felt the same way when I reread the eight books about three years later, and the several times I read them after that.
"I especially liked his book on The Possibilities of Prayer. It opened my mind and heart to how unlimited prayer is. A wonderful book—just wonderful! And all eight of his books on prayer are in this one volume—what a treasure!" (Harold J. Chadwick)
Edward McKendree Bounds was trained and apprenticed as an attorney, but instead of pursuing a legal career, he entered the ministry in his early twenties. In 1859 he was ordained as pastor of the Monticello Methodist Church in Missouri. E. M. Bounds was a chaplain in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was a prisoner of war. He later became the associate editor of the official Methodist newspaper, The Christian Advocate, and is best known for his numerous books on the subject of prayer. E. M. Bounds died on August 24, 1913 in Washington Georgia.
