Review: THE COMPLETE WORKS OF EM BOUNDS ON PRAYER by EM Bounds

Collecting all of Bounds' many books on prayer, this is a huge file, yet takes up very little space on the Kindle and was extremely inexpensive. If you like to read old books, there's no good reason to not get an ereader.

In a way it's a shame there's so much here, because Bounds tends to repeat himself. The books were probably aimed at different audiences, and were definitely not meant to be read back-to-back. The cumulative effect is of reading the same book over and over.

The books were written in the 1800s, and they read like it. I'm not saying that that's necessarily good or bad, but the fact is that styles have changed a good bit since then. They've harder to read than they used to be.

I can see why these books have become classics, but they're just overwhelming read all at once. I recommend the books but not the way I read them.
