How to Pray and How to Study the Bible for Greatest Profit

REUBEN ARCHER (R. A.) TORREY was an American evangelist, Congregational pastor, educator, and writer. He aligned with Keswick theology—the Higher Life movement, also known as deeper Christian life—a Protestant theological tradition within evangelical Christianity that espouses a distinct teaching on the doctrine of entire sanctification: the Christian should move on from his initial conversion experience to also experience a second work of God in his life. Torrey was one of the three editors of The Fundamentals, a 12-volume series that gave its name to what came to be called "fundamentalism.” Affiliated with the Bible Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society (now Moody Bible Institute) and later, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now Biola University), he helped start the Montrose Bible Conference in Pennsylvania, which continues today, and was the pastor of the Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles, CA. R.A. Torrey held Bible conferences and preached throughout the world  and wrote more than 40 books, including HOW TO PRAY and HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE FOR GREATEST PROFIT.

Praise for How to Pray and How to Study the Bible for Greatest Profit by R.A. Torrey“Few books have been as impactful for almost one hundred years as has this timeless treasure, which has been read by millions, published on every continent, and continues to be one of the books (if not the book) on prayer embraced by the evangelical community.”—MIKE HUCKABEE“As Torrey so brilliantly communicates, real prayer is not the recitation of religious ritual but the authentic prac tice of deep and soulful communication with God on a moment-by-moment basis.”—MIKE HUCKABEE“If we have prayed our entire lives in black and white, Torrey unpacks the process of prayer so that for the rest of our days, we will pray in brilliant 4K color.”—MIKE HUCKABEE“The book has remained in print for the better part of one hundred years for a reason—it holds as a message from the heart of a servant of Christ written to the hearts of those who yearn to be servants of Christ.”—MIKE HUCKABEE“You’ll find longer books on prayer and certainly shorter ones. You’ll find some filled with contemporary illustrations and cultural references and some that are erudite in their scholarship and elocution. But what won’t be found is a more important book with insight on the simple prescription of ‘How to Pray.’”—MIKE HUCKABEE
