About this book

One of E. M. Bounds's best-known books on prayer, first published in 1910 and addressed especially to preachers. Bounds insists that the man must first be laid hold of by God before his ministry can carry weight, and that prayer, not method, is where spiritual power is found. Brief, intense, and searching, it has challenged ministers for over a century.
