“This book is about E.M. Bounds, who was a prayer warrior and who had, humanly speaking, a hard time on this earth. His life can in some ways be compared to Job's life, because he lost everything early in his life. He was imprisoned more than twice, His wife and then two sons died and he was like an outcast. I was very motivated and encouraged by his story, because in spite of all these problems he had a close relationship with God, woke up very early in the morning, lived by faith and was always ready to help the poor with anything they could help. I was encouraged by the fact that he said money corrupts many people and to show the believers that something is wrong in the church and that he doesn't rely on the money, he gave up his service as a preacher. So he lost his salary and any hope to have a good pension, but when his wife with five children asked what they'll eat, he answered with something like: "If we're doing God's will, then even ravens will feed us." Amazing what a faith he had. Then there was another think which struck me: he once took his son on a mission field to preach, but they didn't have enough money, so when they were in the train and the controller came and he told him, they don't have enough money. Bounds told him that if the money is over, the controller should put them out, even if it's on a field (because there's the place where God wants them). A man heard him tell this and paid for their trip. That was inspiring... I would recommend this book because it's a great testimony of a man of prayer.”
