The Man Behind the Prayer: E.M. Bounds’ Legacy
In this episode of gwot.rocks: God, the World, and Other Things, we spotlight Edward McKendree Bounds—attorney, Confederate chaplain, and prayer warrior. Most people know Bounds through his classic books on prayer like Power Through Prayer, but few know the crucible that forged those convictions.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- How Bounds' legal mind and spiritual heart came together
- His role in the Civil War and what it cost him
- Why his theology of prayer still matters today
- How you can build a deeper prayer life, starting now
Key Verse:
“Now he told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not give up.” – Luke 18:1 (CSB)
Your Challenge:
This week, carve out 30 extra minutes in the morning—just for prayer. Don’t rush it. Bring your whole heart. Ask God to awaken something deeper in you. Like E.M. Bounds, you might find that suffering, discipline, and communion with God leave behind a legacy that outlives you.*Clarification on the Battle of Franklin- the battle along with the Battle of Nashville was some of the most severe fighting in the civil war. People hear a lot about Gettysburg , the Battle of Bull Run, and others, but the fighting in Tennessee was sad and deadly.
