| Summary |
"Purpose in Prayer" by Edward M. Bounds is a spiritual treatise focused on the significance and power of prayer, likely written in the early 20th century. The work emphasizes that prayer is vital for spiritual growth and transformation, and it underscores the role that earnest communication with God plays in the life of a believer. This volume is noted as a companion to Bounds' previous work, "Power through Prayer," and reflects his deep commitment to teaching others about the necessity and effects of prayer. The opening of "Purpose in Prayer" sets the stage for a compelling discussion on the transformative power of prayer in the Christian's life. It starts with the assertion that the more people pray, the better the world will be, as prayer serves as both a disinfectant against evil and a means of calling on divine assistance. Bounds illustrates his arguments with historical and biblical examples of individuals whose earnest prayers brought about significant changes and results. By portraying prayer as the essential practice that keeps one spiritually vibrant and connected to God, Bounds lays a foundation for readers to understand the crucial role prayer plays in personal and communal faith life.
