A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Praying people will always change the world!

In this wonderful classic book about prayer, author Edward M. Bounds, clearly identifies those throughout the Bible who knew the importance of praying to God.

From Joshua and Jacob, and Samuel and Samson, to Daniel and David, and Peter and Paul, the significance that prayer made in the lives of biblical men is unquestionable. Prayer is the difference between victory and defeat-between communication with and isolation from God.

"Hezekiah had hardly finished his prayer, and Isaiah was just about to go home when God gave him another message for Hezekiah, this time one more pleasant and encouraging. The mighty force of prayer had affected God, and had changed His edict and reversed Him in His purpose concerning Hezekiah. What is that which prayer cannot do? What is it which a praying man cannot accomplish through prayer?"

A pastor during the American Civil War, when Reverend Bounds wasn't praying, he was writing about praying. Before he died in 1913, he wrote more than 240 books about the importance of prayer, and his teachings are still used as resources worldwide.

Learn how you can be victorious through praying such as those men in the Bible who overcame great odds to fulfill their destinies in God.
