To Profit from Classics & Spiritual Giants #8

Edward McKendree Bounds (1835 – 1913)

Methodist Pastor, Itinerant Evangelist, Attorney, Author of 8 classic books on prayer.

He served as Chaplin in the confederate States Army and was taken prisoner twice.

Bounds was known to spend many hours daily on his knees in fervent prayer and considered prayer the highest form of ministry.

E.M. Bounds once stated; “What the church needs are people whom the Holy Spirit can use – people fully surrendered to God, people devoted to holiness, people willing to sacrifice all for the cause of Christ.”

The spirit of devotion puts God into all things.

Acts 6:4 (KJV)
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 2:5 (KJV)
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
