"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" Matthew 6:9
Some of the most incredible, hard-hitting, and revealing words on prayer came from the pen of E.M. Bounds. Of the 11 books he wrote, 9 are centered on this topic. For over a century, pastors, Christians, and teachers have been using his words for guidance and inspiration for their own communication with God. They have all become sought-after classics to this day.

Who better to draw from on the subject than a man who brought revival to his region through prayer meetings? Known as a person who spent hours every day with God, he not only wrote about prayer, he practiced it.

Bringing these truths to modern readers meant having a careful understanding of the text and meaning without losing anything along the way. As a result, older phrases and words have been adapted while holding onto the treasure of Bounds' insight and wisdom.

More than that, we have searched through all of his 9 books on prayer to create an easy-to-use devotional highlighting some of his most enlightening commentaries on the different aspects of prayer. It was not easy to choose from such a vast storehouse of spiritual wealth-what to include and what to leave out. In some instances, we have taken excerpts and passages from the different books and aligned them together according to the same themes.

Our heart in creating this month-long daily devotional was to challenge, encourage, and hopefully bring you into a deeper relationship with Jesus as you realize the importance of the tool of prayer that is available to every one of us. To assist with this, we have included Daily Reflections at the end of each reading to assist in your study and quiet time.

E. M. Bounds on Prayer: 31 Powerful Insights to Strengthen Your Prayer Life.

We must pray—but how?
Most books explain how important Prayer is and what it does for us as Christians, but they don't tell us how to do it, show what good a prayer looks like, or what to avoid. This is a guide—a manual—that will take you step-by-step through the most simple yet crucial aspects of talking with God. Isaac Watts uses practical examples and covers logical, obvious points to help us pray correctly and Biblically.

Some topics covered include:

 • What is Prayer?
 • The Gift of Prayer
 • The Grace of Prayer
 • How the Holy Spirit helps us in Prayer.
 • When to pray.
 • Reasons for learning to pray.

Following a very rational approach, Watts uses biblical evidence, arguments and objections, suggestions, rules, and practical advice to guide us into being able to pray effectively and spiritually.

If you're honestly longing for God as the deer pants for the water brooks, join Isaac Watts on this prayer adventure!

31 Biblical Insights for Prayers that avail much.

The name Spurgeon carries incredible weight, even after more than 100 years. It is a testament to the respect and admiration Christians across denominations have for his insight and ability to convey spiritual matters simply and clearly.

Apart from having special consideration for the lost, prayer was one of Spurgeon’s favorite topics. As part of the “Godlipress” series that promotes and encourages Biblical prayer, it was necessary to include his thoughts and insights on the topic.

This book covers many topics that will open your eyes to the importance and power of prayer:

 • Biblical arguments to use in prayer
 • The Power of Prayer
 • Hindrances to Prayer
 • Unanswered prayers
 • Praying in the Holy Spirit
 • Intercessory prayer
 • The Amen
 • And many more

This 31-day approach aims to bring Spurgeon’s timeless gems into an easy-to-handle format without losing the effect of the original. Setting aside a month and focusing on the different aspects each day, each reading will be a challenge and inspiration for your prayer life.

To give even more room for Spurgeon’s words to have an impact, study questions have been added to allow for deeper reflection. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you as you work through these and contemplate their meaning for your own life.

Our desire is that prayer will become deep, special, and powerful to you. As Spurgeon said, “I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.”

C. H. Spurgeon on Prayer: 31 Biblical Insights for Prayers That Avail Much

"LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!" LUKE 11:1

"Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.

What do you think, my beloved fellow disciples? Would it not be just what we needed, to ask the Master to give us a month-long course of special lessons on the art of prayer? As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress. Let us take time not only to meditate but to pray. To busy ourselves at the foot of the throne, and be trained in the work of intercession." —Andrew Murray

"With Christ in the School of Prayer" offers a structured series of 31 short, concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the listener's heart with a hunger for God's presence. While holding firmly to Andrew Murray's classic teaching and theology and retaining the elegance of his writing style, this edition has been updated to make Murray's writing more accessible to modern readers.

It includes the following updates:

 • A Study Guide to Ensure a Deeper Study of Andrew Murray's Original Message.
 • Unabridged and Carefully Updated Text in Modern English.
 • Updated Organization and Headings.
 • An Active Table of Contents.
 • Large Print Text.

Our earnest prayer is that you find this updated edition much easier to understand and that God would bless you with more desire to seek His face in His school of prayer.

THE HIDDEN LIFE OF PRAYER

Prayer is the beating heart of our relationship with God. But why must it be in secret? Why does Jesus insist we close the door when we pray? In this classic guidebook, McIntyre draws from some of the great men of God who have gone before us: Spurgeon, Bonar, Luther, and others to reveal their own lives in prayer and what we can learn from them in order to find a greater commitment to communicating with God.

His practical approach exposes the equipment we need to enter a secret place of prayer:

 • A quiet place
 • A quiet hour
 • A quiet heart

Not only that, but he defines and explains the systematic way we can order our time in the “upper room:”

 • Worship
 • Confession
 • Request

With such clear guidelines, backed up with Scripture and quotes from prominent Christians, this book will challenge you to go deeper in your time of secret prayer and point you to a rewarding, treasure-filled life in Jesus.

“God brings books at their appointed times. The Hidden Life of Prayer arrived late but well-timed. This little jewel-strewn tapestry has done for me at 64 what Bounds’ Power Through Prayer did at 34. I could be ashamed that I need inspiration for the highest privilege. But I choose to be thankful.” —John Piper, author of A Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer

“Every time I read this book, the Lord uses it to deepen my prayer life and encourage my faith. I strongly recommend it!” —Wayne Grudem, author of Systematic Theology

What is the Biblical Way to Pray Effectively?
Most of us pray, but the truth is that our prayers are often shallow or produce no results at all, if any. Most of us mumble for a few minutes or cry out when we are desperate. Most of us just have lists that we bring before God and hope for the best. But there is more…

"How to Pray effectively” is a prayer classic that biblically guides even the most seasoned person of prayer into more profound, more significant prayer. It will renew your desire to seek God in prayer and guide you in best practices. 

Filled with a spirit of graciousness, Pastor, Evangelist, and Author R. A. Torrey explains the elements of biblical, powerful prayer that avail much. Torrey reveals that there is more to it than just mouthing requests to God. There is more to prayer than reciting the Lord's Prayer or following a technique. It is a way to find the very heart and will of God and have faith to see Him move as a result of us on our knees. 

"In Ephesians 6:18, we read words that show the incredible importance of prayer very clearly and forcefully: "Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints." When we really stop to understand the meaning of these words and their context, we will say, "I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and all my heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray! ...Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray!" ― R. A. Torrey

R. A. Torrey How to Pray Effectively: Updated for Today's Readers With Introduction and Study Guide.

Jonathan Edwards’ 31 Biblical Insights to Deepen and Enrich Your Prayer Life

There are many books in Christian bookshops unpacking every topic imaginable, and many of these are thick volumes on how and when to pray. But a large portion of modern books focuses on techniques and quick fixes rather than the fundamental aspect of what prayer is and its importance in our lives. Nevertheless, there is something about the writers of old that still rings true, above all the glossy self-help guides on prayer. And this is the focus of this book.

Does prayer move God?Why do we need a Mediator in prayer?How can we pray for the lost as Jesus did?What is revival prayer?Can children pray in meetings?Why do people stop praying?Why must we persevere in prayer?How can we pray without ceasing?
These are just some of the pertinent questions many of us as Christians ask. Jonathan Edwards does not hold back in answering them for us. Sometimes his replies are a bit straight and hard to swallow, but they are clear, biblical, and just what we need to understand more about prayer.

With a unique 31-day format and modern English, you can now take your time and digest these timeless insights into what it really means to speak and listen to God. Your prayers will become more effective and powerful as you learn more about this crucial part of a Christian’s relationship with Jesus.

“Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is to life.”
