The Essentials of Prayer by Edward Mc Kenzie (E.M.) Bounds is an inspiring and motivating book for Christians who want to bring their prayers before God and desire Him to do great things in their lives. In this book, Pastor Bounds emphasizes that God wants us to be wholly devoted to Him, not double-minded, vacillating, or divided in loyalty in order for the work of prayer to take effect.

The book challenges the listener to first make sure they are ready to pray and shows from Scripture when and how we ought to pray. It examines the lack of prayer and its causes but also includes examples of answered prayer, as well as hope and inspiration for those who may feel like their prayers aren’t being answered. This inspiring book will motivate sincere Christians to pray with dedication and wholeheartedness, knowing that their prayers can truly bring about positive change in their lives.
