The Possibilities of Prayer "The providence of God goes before His saints, opens the way, removes difficulties, solves problems and brings deliverances when escape seems hopeless." "Anything's possible"-a familiar saying; but when you add prayer to the phrase, the possibilities are infinite! Prayer is powerful. "Prayer over everything can quiet every distraction, hush every anxiety, and lift every care from care-enslaved lives and from care-bewildered hearts." Prayer is peaceful. "Prayer brings God's providence into action...overseeing and directing earth's affairs for the good of all. Prayer opens the way..." Prayer is faithful. "Faith has never won a victory nor gained a crown where prayer was not the weapon of the victory, and where prayer did not jewel the crown." Prayer is hopeful. "His giving His Son is the assurance and guarantee that He will freely give all things to him who believes and prays." In this classic, author Edward Bounds gives you reasons to pray based on the promises of God. His candid discussion about why and how to pray will make you think about The Possibilities of Prayer!

Power Through Prayer "The real sermon is made in the closet. The man-God's man-is made in the [prayer] closet. His life and his profoundest convictions are born in his secret communion with God." In this powerful book about prayer, Edward M. Bounds directs his conversation toward pastors and church leaders presenting a forceful persuasion about the importance of prayer. Topics include: <ul>
<li>Grace From the Heart Rather Than the Head.</li> <li>Preachers Need the Prayers of the People.</li> <li>Heart Preparation Necessary.</li> <li>Unction, the Mark of True Gospel Preaching.</li> <li>A Praying Pulpit Begets a Praying Pew.</li> </ul>
"The glory and efficiency of the gospel is staked on the men who proclaim it. When God declares that 'the eyes of the Lord run to and from throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him,' He declares the necessity of men and His dependence on them as a channel through which to exert His power upon the world." Be the best you can be-learn from a man of God who has been called an "American prophet of prayer."

The Weapon of Prayer "Satan has effectively disarmed us when he can keep us too busy doing things to stop and pray." Prayer is a weapon you can use any time, any place. Knowing how to use this weapon is crucial to your personal well-being, and to faithful service to your heavenly Father, your family, and your community. "Faith and hope, and patience, and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life." In this powerful book, Reverend Edward Bounds illustrates the importance of wielding a weapon of prayer through the lives of biblical and modern day people of prayer. "The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom and fruitage in prayer." Reverend Bounds was a chaplain during the American Civil War and writes from personal experience his profound dependence on The Weapon of Prayer. "No feeble or secondary place was given to prayer in the ministry of Jesus. It comes first-emphatic, conspicuous, controlling. Of prayerful habits, of a prayerful spirit, given to long solitary communion with God, Jesus was above all else, a man of prayer."

Praying people will always change the world!  In this wonderful classic book about prayer, author Edward M. Bounds, clearly identifies those throughout the Bible who knew the importance of praying to God.  From Joshua and Jacob, and Samuel and Samson, to Daniel and David, and Peter and Paul, the significance that prayer made in the lives of biblical men is unquestionable. Prayer is the difference between victory and defeat-between communication with and isolation from God.  "Hezekiah had hardly finished his prayer, and Isaiah was just about to go home when God gave him another message for Hezekiah, this time one more pleasant and encouraging. The mighty force of prayer had affected God, and had changed His edict and reversed Him in His purpose concerning Hezekiah. What is that which prayer cannot do? What is it which a praying man cannot accomplish through prayer?"  A pastor during the American Civil War, when Reverend Bounds wasn't praying, he was writing about praying. Before he died in 1913, he wrote more than 240 books about the importance of prayer, and his teachings are still used as resources worldwide.  Learn how you can be victorious through praying such as those men in the Bible who overcame great odds to fulfill their destinies in God.

Power Through Prayer

Power through Prayer has been called "one of the truly great masterpieces on the theme of prayer." The term classic can appropriately be applied to this outstanding book. In twenty provocative and inspiring chapters, each prefaced with quotations from spiritual giants, Edward M. Bounds stresses the imperative of vital prayer in the life of a pastor. He says, "Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world."
