You may not proceed to the next section until you pass the test for the current section and have looked up the correct answers in your textbook and/or the King James Bible, whichever is appropriate, for every question answered incorrectly on the test. This must be done for every test, pass or fail. Your
attendance requirement for the next lesson begins the day after you pass the test for the current lesson and have carried out the correct answer lookup procedure for all missed questions on the current test.

Prayer I. textbook link: Prayer Availeth Much
You will need Adobe Reader to open this file. If you don't have it, then goto http://www.adobe.com and click on the little red and white rectangle entitled "Get ADOBE READER" and that will give you the latest version for free.
This is a basic course. Therefore, the tendency on the part of some students will be to rush through it. This is a mistake. Do not rush- do not simply read the material, rather you need to study it, meditate on it, and use it. Practice it! Do NOT do more than one lesson per week.
-
The main portion of the course: The main portion of this class is not the textbook study. The main portion is your daily prayer as you develop and utilize your Prayer Journal. That is why this is a 15 week course. Even though the chapters in the textbook are small ones, the study of them is, as I said, only a portion of the required work for this
course. The main work is developing a plan for carrying out your daily prayers in an organized and, hopefully, comprehensive fashion. It is the aim of this first course to help you develop the habit of daily prayer. To facilitate this, the prayer journal will be used as a guide and a means of accountability.

If the boxes where you mark the dates that you have prayed over that page, which are situated at the bottom of the pages,
become filled and you have no more boxes in which to record your dates, then simply make another copy of that page so you
can continue recording the date that you prayed over that page.

-
Study: Students are required to give a minimum of 3 hours study in each of the lessons over a 3 week period.
The student should not give a 3 hour period of continuous study to meet this requirement. The depth of the material will make it impossible for proper
absorption of it if it is simply read in one 3 hour period instead of studying it in shorter segments. It is recommended that students spread the 3 hours of study time over the entire 3 week period with not more than 1 hour of study at one setting.
-
TEXTBOOK LESSONS: The textbooks are a series of books on Prayer by E.M. Bounds.
- You will access the lessons one at a time through the following links.
