The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds – A book that changed my life!

Judy told me that I once showed her a book and I said that it changed my life. I think there are a couple of books that have changed my life, but one of them was definitely The Compete Works of E. M. Bounds.


My friend Steve had recommended this book to me and he said he was reading it. After I read it, I told him it had changed my life. This book made me realize that my prayer life was weak, and that it shouldn’t be. This book made me realize that I needed to work hard if I wanted my prayer life to grow, that it really takes discipline to spend time with God in prayer and not be distracted.


Practically, this book shaped my thoughts on how to pray better. I think prayer works best when we are focused. So that means setting a time limit to my prayers (I would start with 5 minutes), and just pray over anything and everything that comes to mind. And if it’s still hard to stay focused, I would recommend typing your prayers. And if it’s still hard to stay focused, do it on your knees alone in your room.


But anyways, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to grow in their prayer life!
