E. M. Bounds examines the importance of prayer in a Christian's life with this seminal book that is still studied widely today. Bounds, a former Army chaplain, directed his text at church leaders, but his musings can be useful for all Christians looking to revitalize their prayer life. He firmly believed that devoted prayer was at the root of a successful church ministry; he himself set aside three hours for prayer every morning. "The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men."

E.M. Bounds (1835-1913) was an American pastor. He authored 11 books, mostly on prayer. The Essentials of Prayer is considered one of his greatest works.

The transformative power of faith-filled prayer can turn your life into a powerful testament to God's divine influence. It is the singular force capable of altering God's plans and ushering in victory for believers, yet it is often underutilized. With today’s non-stop personal and professional demands and seemingly endless distractions, it’s all too easy to put prayer on the back burner of our daily lives.
