"We do more of everything else than of praying." In the Church today, there is a growing unspoken belief that God is silent, that efforts to communicate with him are contrived, naive and—perhaps most of all—futile. In this collection of his early books, E. M. Bounds speaks to the enduring power of prayer—as the pathway to personal connection with God, as the means to experience abundance, and as the very instrument that is capable of changing the world. Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913) was an American author, attorney, Civil War army chaplain and Methodist preacher. Of his 11 published books, nine of them focused on prayer — an act that he believed was central to the heart of a believer, and therefore one that should be consistently learned and practiced. Bounds devoted countless hours to personal prayer, and these books are the overflow of his experience, heart and faithfulness. The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer Volume I includes Power Through Prayer, Purpose in Prayer, Prayer and Praying Men, and The Possibilities of Prayer. Through Bounds' passion and expertise, the reader will discover: How prayer can transform people and the world The purpose of individual, private prayer The centrality of prayer to spiritual health How God's promises are fulfilled through prayer In these pages, readers will encounter a sincere and unwavering belief that anything is possible through prayer and an infectious devotion to prayer as the means to true and lasting transformation.

"The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer." Christian prayer often lacks true conviction, an honest belief that these quiet utterances can contribute to advancing God's Kingdom, releasing power, goodness, and peace into a broken, weary world. In his later books devoted to the subject of prayer, E. M. Bounds contended that prayer is “the greatest work” of the believer, “the battlefield of the Church,” and “the mightiest agent to advance God’s work.” Civil-War-era Methodist pastor, Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913) was an unrivaled expert on the subject of prayer, with nine books to his name published on the topic. The latter part of Bounds’ life was devoted to rising before dawn each morning to pray before writing the words found in these pages. This collection of books is a product of his personal commitment to, and steadfast belief in, prayer. The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer Volume II includes the books: The Reality of Prayer, The Essentials of Prayer, The Necessity of Prayer and The Weapon of Prayer. Through practical and insightful thoughts, Bounds explores how prayer can: Cultivate deeper intimacy with God Produce tangible results Foster Christian values Overcome Satan’s hold Activate the Holy Spirit For the doubting believer, Bounds’ passion and wisdom are a breath of fresh air, a call to arms and an invitation to collaborate with Christ in bringing the Kingdom of God to a world in need.

Collected here in this 8-in-1 omnibus edition are all of E. M. Bounds' powerful books. No one else wrote with such power and authority on prayer. These classic books continue to inspire and instruct us on all aspects of prayer and its uses in everyday Christian life. "Prayer has to do with the entire man. Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and body. It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man in its gracious results. As the whole nature of man enters into prayer, so also all that belongs to man is the beneficiary of prayer. All of man receives benefits in prayer. The whole man must be given to God in praying. The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself, all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God. This is the secret of full consecration, and this is a condition of successful praying, and the sort of praying which brings the largest fruits." -E. M. Bounds

"The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Prayer (Volume 3)” contains the following books: 1) Life-Changing Thoughts on Prayer (Volume 2) 2) The Ministry of Supplication 3) Moving God Through Prayer 4) Waiting on the Lord in Prayer 5) Prayer Crusades (Volume 1) The life-changing thoughts on prayer contained in this volume are like the pings that get the believer to detect the will and leading of God in various domains of prayer. Each one of the thoughts is an entire topic to be pursued, explored, and developed to the fullest. As you go through these thoughts, you are travelling with the author along his journey around the world, doing God’s work of ministry, while in the midst of prayer. Supplication is handled from the glaring example of Hannah who, having been barren for a long while, desperately asked God for a baby, as her priced treasure to be given back to Him. In supplication, the supplicant is so desperate that he will not rest and will not receive ‘No’ from God for an answer. This goes on till the point of breakthrough. Those who make requests while keeping other options open are not supplicating. With supplication, there is one request, no options and no plan ‘B’. The reader will also learn how to move God through prayer. There is no way anyone can move God through prayer if he does not know the perfect will of the Lord about what he is praying for. It is those who know God’s will and pray that will back to Him that moves Him through to answer and to do things in response to prayer. God is not obliged to answer prayer that is not in tandem with His will. The dynamics of waiting on the Lord in prayer are not the tools of a rapacious world that wants instantaneous answers to prayer. One may have to abide in ceaseless prayer before the Lord about an issue for a year, ten years, or more, and not give up until the day the Lord answers or gives assurance that He will surely answer. This volume ends with the author’s practical life of prayer crusades, praying with his people. Prayer crusades range from 8 hours, 10 hours or more of personal or group prayer daily for periods ranging from 21 days to 40 days and beyond. In this final part of the volume, the reader finds himself in the prayer crusades, praying with the author and his people.

Equipped to Tell the Next Generation bridges the gap between knowing and sharing our faith in Jesus by revealing areas of our beliefs and practices which have been syncretized with twenty-first-century American culture: relative truth, consumerism, pleasure, an independent spirit, the victim mentality, and the culture of doubt. These go to the heart of who we are and keep Christians from telling people about Jesus in winsome ways. This book provides the solution: recover the holiness of God, his ultimate characteristic, which holds all his characteristics in perfect unity. Rather than legalism, genuine holiness is the highest beauty which produces wholeness because it balances holy love, holy righteousness, repentance of sin, peace, and respect for all people and all of God’s creation. When we meet a holy God, we want to worship and to serve him because the beauty of holiness touches the very essence of our being. It becomes our greatest desire to please him because of the deep love we find there, a holy love unlike what the world offers. This book will take you on a journey to recover the things compromised to culture and will equip you to tell the next generation about Jesus.

Pray Your Way Through Your Day. More than two thousand years ago Jesus taught about the importance of prayer and the apostle Paul urged Christians to “pray without ceasing.” Yet a rewarding prayer life seems almost impossible for those of us juggling busy schedules, family needs, friendships, home tasks, or a demanding job. We’d love to engage constantly with God: such as when we’re working, driving carpool, or folding socks. But how can we, when we spend so much of our days just racing from one thing to another? The author of three other books on prayer, Janet Holm McHenry set out on a personal journey to learn how to draw even closer to God through this crucial spiritual discipline. Her findings led to PrayerStreaming, a life-changing guide to praying through the clutter and clatter of everyday life. Tap into History’s Best Spiritual Wisdom Regarding Prayer. Drawing from eight of the most respected and time-tested spiritual classics on the subject of prayer, as well as personal experiences of deepened intimacy with God, Janet Holm McHenry illustrates that incorporating prayer into the rhythms of life is in fact far easier than you think–and more beneficial than you could ever dream
