The Reality of Prayer

Author: E.M. Bounds

“Pray, Pray and Pray some more! God loves it and the Devil hates it. In The Reality of Prayer Bounds explores how prayer is A Privilege, Princely & Sacred, how it Fills Man’s Poverty with God’s Riches, Our Lord’s Model Prayer, The Holy Spirit and Prayer and much more. “

The word “Prayer” expresses the largest and most comprehensive approach unto God. It gives prominence to the element of devotion. It is communion and intercourse with God. It is enjoyment of God. It is access to God.

“Supplication” is a more restricted and more intense form of prayer, accompanied by a sense of personal need, limited to the seeking in an urgent manner of a supply for pressing need. “Supplication” is the very soul of prayer in the way of pleading for some one thing, greatly needed, and the need intensely felt. E. M. Bounds offered perhaps a more profound understanding of prayer than any other contemporary Christian thinker.

His classic books on the personal communication with God explore how prayer must come from the whole being and strengthens faith in Christian lives.

The book inspires as well as gives practical helps in praying for personal needs and the needs of the world. In one chapter, the writer tells of how he and his congregation prayed for the demise of communism in the world. As a result of many days of fasting and prayer, they saw the answer when the Berlin wall came down. He does not claim sole credit for this but is very much aware that this was their focus and it came to pass as they prayed.  

Zacharias Fomum is a pastor in the country of Cameroon, West Africa. He is one of the great men of prayer who inspires passion and desire to seek God, not only for needs but prayer to find and know God. He guides the earnest seeker with schedules to hold personal prayer retreats: day retreats, weekend retreats, and two or three retreats.

The Hour that Changes the World

Author: Dick Eastman

The Hour That Changes the World, first published by Baker in 1978, is a classic book on prayer that offers practical suggestions on how readers can revitalize their prayer lives. Dick Eastman challenges Christians to spend one hour each day in prayer, and he outlines a twelve-step prayer program to help them accomplish the task.

By dividing one hour into twelve five-minute “points of focus,” such as praise, waiting, confession, and Scripture praying, believers will develop a more consistent habit of daily prayer. The Hour That Changes the World draws heavily on Scripture and classic devotional writers and includes an appendix titled “Scriptural Intercession.

“This 25th anniversary edition features a new introduction by Eastman and a new foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada, in which she writes: “The Hour That Changes the World may appear small and modest, but don’t let its size fool you. Full of biblical insights about prayer, packed with testimonies of prayer warriors from years past, brimming with practical suggestions that will help you carve out a purposeful time of praise and intercession, Dick Eastman’s book is arguably the most significant book on prayer written in modern times.”
