Synopsis

"I love to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ." —R.A. Torrey

There is great power in prayer. As Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote, "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." Will Houghton eulogized Torrey as "...a man of regular and uninterrupted prayer. He knew what it meant to pray without ceasing." In this Pure Gold Classic you will gain fresh spiritual insights from Torrey on:

• The power of prayer
• The desirable results of specific prayer
• How to receive what you ask for
• What it means to pray in the name of Jesus Christ
• How to pray in and through the Holy Spirit
• Hindrances to prayer
• Prevailing prayer and true revival

Your personal prayer life will never be the same after you read this book. You will become an effective person of prayer and, as a result, you will be enabled to live in power and victory. Discover Torrey's keys to answered prayer and become, like him, a true prayer warrior.

Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24, NIV).

About this title

About the Author

R. A. TORREY (1856–1928) is respected as one of the greatest evangelists of modern times. After his graduation from Yale Divinity School, he was selected by D. L. Moody to become the first dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Dr. Torrey spent the years of 1903–1905 in worldwide revival campaigns, winning thousands of souls to Jesus Christ. He continued worldwide crusades for the next fifteen years while he served as the dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and pastored the Church of the Open Door in that city.

From the Back Cover

At the request of Dwight L. Moody, Torrey wrote a book late in the nineteenth century entitled "How to Pray"; and God used that book to stir many thousands to develop a regular prayer life.

A great work began as a result of that book, spanning across Australia, and New Zealand in 1902, and extending to England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, where it gave birth to much of the great Welsh Relvival of 1904.

Subsequently it went on to India and many other lands, resulting in the conversion of hundreds of thousands of souls. "Torrey on Prayer" is much fuller and more complete than "How to Pray." It contains Torrey's updated version of his original book, and covers the whole subject of prayer, not only in its relation to revivals, but also in its relation to the vaious aspect of Christan life and activity.
