Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Prayer and Praying Men
E. M. Bounds · 2011
78/100
👍 Worth It
Bounds takes a smart approach: instead of writing about prayer in the abstract, he walks through nine biblical men whose prayer lives actually changed history. The result is more concrete and compelling than most devotionals in this space. The nineteenth-century prose is formal but not impenetrable, and the public-domain availability means anyone curious can sample it for free before buying.
