Power Through Prayer: The Wisdom of E.M. Bounds Updated for the Modern Reader

By: E.M. Bounds

E.M. Bounds was an American author, attorney, and Methodist Episcopal Church South clergy member. He is known for writing 11 books, nine of which focused on the subject of prayer. Power Through Prayer is primarily focused on the preacher's necessity for an active prayer life, but the admonition is just as needed for the believer today! As with much of what was written in the early 20th century, the language can be challenging to understand. Through a painstaking process of editing, we have created an easy-to-read translation of E.M. Bounds's work without compromising his spiritual depth and insights. Here's a sample of the original manuscript and then our modern edition for you to compare. Excerpt from the first chapter, " Men of Prayer Needed ." (1910 Version) - "The character as well as the fortunes of the gospel is committed to the preacher. He makes or mars the message from God to man. The preacher is the golden pipe through which the divine oil flows. The pipe must not only be golden, but open and flawless, that the oil may have a full, unhindered, unwasted flow." (2024 Modern Edition) - "The preacher holds the fate of the gospel in his hands. He can either enhance or hinder God's message to humanity. The preacher is like a golden pipe through which God's divine oil flows. This pipe must be both golden and flawless to ensure the oil flows fully and freely without obstruction." Let the wisdom contained in this modern edition encourage all of us to "...come before the throne of grace."! Two Trees Ministries endeavors to uncover spiritual literary treasures from the past and edit them into Modern English for the encouragement and strengthening of the Christian pilgrim. These kindred spirits of earlier times are remarkable generally in their relationship with God and specifically in their earthly journey with Christ. We publish these works with the hope that you, too, will find their words profound, directing you to a deeper walk with Christ.
