About this book

E. M. Bounds presents prayer as the source of spiritual strength and a means by which believers seek God’s help in every part of life. Drawing on Scripture—from Christ’s command to ask, seek, and knock to the promises of Ezekiel and examples across biblical history—he considers faith, answered prayer, miracles, and divine providence, calling readers to earnest, persistent prayer grounded in God’s Word.
