Publisher Description

In a penetrating and forthright style, Edward M. Bounds offers stimulating advice to Christian servants. “The preaching that kills may have insight and grasp of principles, may be scholarly and critical in taste, may have every minutia of the derivation and grammar of the letter, may be able to trim the letter into its perfect pattern, and illume it as Plato and Cicero may be illumined, may study it as a lawyer studies his text-books to form his brief or to defend his case, and yet be like a frost, a killing frost...Preaching which kills is prayerless preaching. Without prayer the preacher creates death, and not life.” This audio book nourishes the heart and mind with Bounds’ message about the role of prayer in the life of the Christian servant.

"Although it's repetitive, it's repeated message is much needed: that prayer ought to be considered a primary work of grace, not a supplemental one. And as such, it should be given priority in terms of time, effort, planning, strategy, etc. Bounds observed rightly that it is relatively simple to give a sermon from the brain, but effective sermons are ones that have been chosen, formulated, and given in much prayer so that it is a sermon of the heart."

    " An encouraging and convicting book on prayer by an old school guy I don't know much about. I was told that a good way to get fired up to pray more is to read a few books on prayer, and so I read this one chapter a day for a month or so (short chapters) -- and it has, in fact, spurred me on to pray more.

    " Prayer not as a meriting, lifeless ritual, but as a mighty power in the life of the Christian who desires to live a life of fellowship with God. Potentially life-changing! "

    " Incredibly, challenging yet remains hopeful. Bounds short but powerful look into prayer and intimacy with God is clear and to the point. He doesn't waste time with fluff and delivers a punch to the face for those of us lacking in the area of prayer. "

    " One of the best things about this book is that one can sit down and read it in two hours, yet it's packed with great thoughts. The organization could be better and Bounds could probably have used more scriptural support than he does, but I still think it's worth a five-star rating. "

    " Written maxim-style; in praise of prayer and the men who have spent much time at it; hard to disagree with many of his maxims--however, some of them are pretty far "out there" (e.g., prayer working "like magic" to accomplish some purpose). "
