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. Power through Prayer is an inspiring text and the source of many often-quoted aphorisms, including the line: "The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men."
