About this book

Bounds's fullest case for what prayer can actually do. Ranging over the promises of Scripture, the recorded facts of answered prayer, and the history of God's dealings with praying men, he argues that prayer is no pious formality but a real force that moves the hand of God — reaching into providence, working wonders, and shaping the world. The companion volume to his other books on prayer, and the one most given to proof by story and instance.

“Prayer should be the breath of our breathing, the thought of our thinking, the soul of our feeling, and the life of our living, the sound of our hearing, the growth of our growing.” Prayer in its magnitude is length without end, width without bounds, height without top, and depth without bottom.
