The collection traverses several themes such as the origins and history of prayer; the methods of praying; the purposes of prayer; how prayer brings the believer closer to God; and how Christians may better utilize their time at prayer and emerge from each prayer spiritually nourished. In writing these works, E. M. Bounds draws upon the Gospel texts and events, plus several of Christianity’s most revered Saints.

Bounds’ departed from the mortal coil in 1913, his manuscripts were carefully compiled by Reverand Claudius (Claude) Lysias Chilton, Jr. , who had the following to say about the writings whose introduction to the world he supervised: “These books are unfailing wells for a lifetime of spiritual water-drawing. They are hidden treasures, wrought in the darkness of dawn and the heat of the noon, on the anvil of experience,and beaten into wondrous form by the mighty stroke of the divine. They are living voices whereby he, being dead, yet speaketh!”
