Great men of God in Scripture, such as Paul, Ezra, Moses and Daniel, are the focus as E.M. Bounds demonstrates powerful lessons on the need for effective prayer. God's desire is for men to be on their knees in full subjection to Him. No stranger to the life lived in prayer, E.M. Bounds was devoted to praying 3 hours a day beginning at 4 a.m., and his books are a wonderful example of the power of a praying man.
