Torrey on Prayer: The Power of Prayer & the Prayer of Power, Includes Audio Excerpts Download (Pure Gold Classics) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Reuben Archer Torrey (1856--1928) is respected as one of the greatest evangelists of modern times. Several years 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. Under his direction, Moody Institute became a pattern for Bible institutes around the world. 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. Torrey longed for more Christian workers to take an active part in bringing the message of salvation through Christ to a lost and dying world. His straightforward style of evangelism has shown thousands of Christian workers how to become effective soulwinners.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.
