Brighton Publishing release eBook“The Essentials of Prayer & Power through Prayer” by E.M.Bounds

Sept. 19, 2012 - PRLog -- CHANDLER (AZ)—Brighton Publishing LLC proudly announces the eBook release of “The Essentials of Prayer & Power through Prayer” a combination of works by Edward M. Bounds as part of the “Brighton Christian Classic Series.” Edward M. Bounds was a clergyman and author of eleven books, nine of which focused on the subject of prayer. “Brighton Christian Classic Series” are value-priced titles currently available in eBook format from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other leading retailers nationwide.
Edward M. Bounds was born in Shelby County, Missouri to Thomas J. and Hatty Bounds. When Edward was fourteen years old, his father contracted tuberculosis and would eventually succumb to the disease.
Shortly after his father's death in 1849, Edward tried his hand at goldmining and joined a wagon train with his brother, Charles, heading for California. After four years of mining—and little to show for it—they returned to Missouri where Edward returned to his studies and, at age nineteen, became the state's youngest practicing lawyer.
Edward ultimately surrendered to the call of Christ on his life and, in his earlytwenties, closed his law office and moved to Palmyra, Missouri where he enrolled in Christian Seminary. Two years later he was ordained by his denomination and named pastor of the nearby Monticello Missouri Methodist Church.
During the Civil War, Edward became a chaplain in the Confederate States Army and would later suffer a severe head injury and be taken prisoner during the Second Battle of Franklin.
Upon his release, Edward returned to war-ravaged Franklin where he became the pastor of the Franklin Methodist Episcopal Church, South. According to people who were constantly with him in prayer and preaching, "Not a foolish word did we ever hear him utter. He was one of the most intense eagles of God that ever penetrated the spiritual ether.”
These books reveal a depth of prayer that is much more than just a requirement of faith. The information contained in this combined work has the potential to transform a static, but faithful, Christian life into one that is dynamic and growing in faith.
“The Brighton Christian Classic Series is a rendering of some of history’s greatest theological voices, all tailored into an easy-to-read format designed to enable Christian growth,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “These master works are intended to stir deep contemplation and fulfill man’s insatiable desire to understand ourselves and our Creator.”
