EM Bounds

I love to read the words and hear the thoughts of old time preachers like E.M Bounds.  The richness of their Spirit encourages, teaches, blesses, and refreshes me as I contemplate the depth of their thoughts.  For those who do not know E.M. Bounds was a Methodist Preacher who was born in 1835. He was a Chaplin in the Civil war and was severely wounded in the second battle of Franklin. He is the author of eleven books, nine of which are focused on prayer.  All but two of his books were published after his death in 1913. 

          You may recall that I recently preached a sermon entitled “How To Pray.”  I am convinced that prayer should be larger more intense part of my life.  Like most I don’t pray enough.  This in part is why I love to read the words of E.M. Bounds he inspires me to pray more.  I hope that he might do the same for you as well.
