E. M. Bounds stated, “Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being,
exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.” Based on the
uncompromising, simple foundations of Scripture, E. M. Bounds left a
legacy of written jewels on The Mission of the Church; Our
Spiritual Walk; and Leadership, God’s Way. He used terms such
as: repentant, redeemed, righteous, self-denying, disciplined,
consecrated, prayerful, evangelistic, holy, joyful, lovers of God,
Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit, ageless descriptions of the man, woman,
and child of God. These faith-building, Spirit-inspired,
never-before-published writings are now gathered together in one
powerful volume in the Pure Gold Classics series.

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. |
