From the Back Cover

"The intelligent child of God must be driven to say, 'I must pray, pray, pray.  I must put all my energy and all my heart into prayer.  Whatever else I do, I must pray.'"

Stunning and forthright, R.A. Torrey's "little book on prayer" is a reflection of the writer who once had it said about him, "One wonders if there has ever lived a man who did so many things well for Christ."

Torrey succinctly deals with the key elements of life-changing prayer, such as praying in the Spirit, abiding in Christ, obstacles to prayer, the best times to pray, seeking revival through prayer, and more.  Torrey outlines a practical strategy for living life in conversation with God.
