| Summary |
"Preacher and Prayer" by Edward M. Bounds is a religious treatise written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a reflection on the critical relationship between prayer and effective preaching, emphasizing how a preacher's spiritual life is intertwined with their commitment to prayer. Bounds argues that true ministry is not merely a matter of technique but is deeply rooted in the preacher's personal holiness and prayer life. The opening portion of the book establishes the premise that the preacher's effectiveness in delivering the gospel hinges on their dedication to prayer. Bounds cites historical figures and their profound commitment to prayer, highlighting that spiritual power comes from intimate communion with God. He stresses that modern methods and organizational structures cannot replace the need for men of prayer who are holy and devoted to God. This call to action sets the tone for the following content, which will further explore the impact of prayer on the ministry and the necessity for preachers to prioritize their spiritual lives above all else.
