It is the ability to hold on, press on, and wait. Restless desire, restful patience, and strength of grasp are all embraced in it. Prayer is not an incident or a performance but a passion of soul. It is not a want or half-needed desire but a sheer necessity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eList of Chapters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 1: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Faith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 2: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrayer and Unwavering Faith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 3: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Trust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 4: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Desire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 5: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Fervency\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 6: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Persistence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 7: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Perseverance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 8: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Character\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 9: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Obedience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 10: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Surrender\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 11: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Vigilance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 12: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and the Word of God\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 13: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and Preaching\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCh. 14: \u003c\/strong\u003e Prayer and the House of God\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward McKendree Bounds was born in Shelby County, Missouri, on August 15, 1835, and died on August 24, 1913, in Washington, Georgia. He was admitted to the bar in 1854 at the age of nineteen, but left the profession five years later when he answered the call of God to the ministry. Beginning in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, he became the chaplain of the Fifth Missouri Regiment of the Confederacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBounds married Miss Emmie Barnett of Eufaula, Alabama, in 1876. By this union, he became the father of two daughters, Celeste and Corneille, and a son, Edward, who died at the age of six. His wife Emmie died in 1886, and later Bounds married Miss Hattie Barnett, Emmie's cousin. Together they had six children: Samuel, Charles, Osborne, Elizabeth, Mary, and Emmie. However, Charles died at the age of one, so in the end, the family consisted of seven children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter serving several important churches in St. Louis and other places to the south, Bounds became editor of the \u003cem\u003eSt. Louis Christian Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e for eight years and, later, associate editor of \u003cem\u003eThe Nashville Christian Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e for four years. The trial of his faith came while he was in Nashville, and he quietly retired to his home without even asking for a pension. His principal work in Washington, Georgia (his home), was rising at four o'clock in the morning and praying until seven o'clock. He filled a few engagements as an evangelist during the eighteen years of his life work in Washington, Georgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42111654789255,"sku":"9781622455539","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/fb1b97b88de5b966e3d08f896b382634.webp?v=1732482088","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-necessity-of-prayer-why-christians-ought-to-pray-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
