Description

2014 Reprint Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book is divided into 20 chapters on different aspects of the preacher and his relationship with prayer. Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913) was a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and author of eleven books, nine of which focused on the subject of prayer. Several of his works, including this one, remain classic books on prayer. William Parish Chilton, an admirer of Bounds, worked on preserving and preparing Bounds' collection of manuscripts for publication after Bounds' death in 1913. Chilton said of Bounds' books, "These books are unfailing wells for a lifetime of spiritual water-drawing. They are hidden treasures, wrought in the darkness of dawn and the heat of the noon, on the anvil of experience, and beaten into wondrous form by the mighty stroke of the divine. They are living voices whereby he, being dead, yet speaketh!"
