Synopsis

2013 Reprint of 1900 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Written a little over a century ago, "How to Pray" is a wonderful treatise on prayer. The author, R. A. Torrey, effortlessly guides even the most seasoned person of prayer into deeper, more significant prayer. Torrey explains what prayer is, what it can do, and when one should pray. He also describes the hindrances that keep believers from praying effectively, and how with the power of God believers can overcome those hindrances. Filled with a spirit of graciousness, this classic work on prayer has helped generations and can also further one's own spiritual maturation in the "essential activity" of prayer.

About this title

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.
