Kniha Účel modlitby oslovuje čtenáře již déle než sto let. Autor v ní na příbězích modlitebníků z Bible i z dějin církve představuje důležitost modlitby a její hlavní účel: spoluutváření Božího plánu na zemi. Povzbuzuje nás k vytrvalému žádání, které nakonec přinese požehnané ovoce v životech rodin, církve i celých národů.
„Modlitba zaplňuje lidskou prázdnotu Boží plností. Nahrazuje lidskou chudobu
Božím bohatstvím a lidskou slabost Boží silou. Vyhání lidskou malost a
nahrazuje ji Boží velikostí. Modlitba je Božím plánem, jak naplňovat velké,
nekonečné lidské potřeby velkou a nekonečnou Boží hojností.“ Edward M. Bounds
ve své knize Realita modlitby vysvětluje, jakou sílu má opravdová modlitba
zmocněná Duchem svatým. Na příkladu pozemského života Pána Ježíše Krista
ukazuje jaké místo má mít modlitba v životě každého křesťana. Modlitba je nám
dána jako součást Božího zaopatření. Bůh čeká na naše modlitby, přikazuje nám
se modlit a sám je inspiruje. Edward M. BoundsEdward M. Bounds (1835–1913)
rodák z Missouri, začal svou kariéru jako právník, ale brzy byl povolán Bohem
ke službě. Uzavřel svou advokátní praxi a stal se kazatelem metodistické
církve. Základním kamenem jeho kazatelské i evangelizační služby byla vždy
modlitba, veřejná i soukromá. Byl znám jako horlivý modlitebník, který denně
stráví tři hodiny ráno na kolenou a nenechá se o tento čas ničím a nikým
připravit. Během svého života napsal několik duchovních knih, většina z nich
se věnovala modlitbě, kterou pokládal za naprostý základ křesťanského života a
služby.
