I had originally planned to do a chapter-a-day review of Power Through Prayer by E. M. Bounds. After the first three, I’ve realised that it’s more effective and insightful to focus on and review the overarching themes instead of repeating myself every day.
This is what I will explore and share with you over the next few days. Let me know if I’m getting repetitive, or if you disagree with any of the themes.
Watch and pray…

Here are the links to my review of the first three chapters of the book.
- Chapter 1 – Holiness to the Lord
- Chapter 2 – The Preaching that Kills is Non-spiritual Preaching
- Chapter 3 – The Preaching Which Kills is Prayerless Preaching
