E. M. (Edward McKendree) Bounds (1835–1913) has given
us a powerful legacy of prayer, believing it to be the strongest
link between God and man. Bounds was a pastor and editor who spent
many years reading, writing, praying, and taking part in revival
ministry. Deeply concerned for the world, Bounds would rise at 4
a.m. to pray. Since the time of the apostles, no man besides Bounds
has left such a rich inheritance of research into the life of
prayer.
