Prayer and praying men

"Prayer and Praying Men" by Edward M. Bounds is a spiritual guide that looks at the importance of prayer and how it changes people's lives, especially those who appear in the Bible. The book argues that prayer is very important and affects how believers connect with God. Starting off, the writer shows a strong respect for prayer as a necessary part of spiritual life and tells the stories of important praying people from the Old Testament, like Joshua, Jacob, Hannah, and Moses. It points out their dedicated prayers and how God answered them; and explains how their constant asking changed their lives and their communities, leading to a deep look into different biblical figures who prayed often. The beginning creates a feeling of respect and seriousness, which means that the book suggests prayer isn't only a custom but a strong thing that makes change and causes God to act.
