HOW TO PRAY
by R. A. Torrey
"Ye shall ask what ye will, and it will be done unto you":
The world-renowned classic which has already shown millions
that God's answers come to those who know how to ask.
WHO CAN HELP?
Most of us know we OUGHT to pray, but many seem uncertain as
to HOW, WHEN, and WHERE to pray. This book is the classic
Christian answer to these vital questions.
Believing that many prayers are not answered because they
are not intelligently offered, Dr. Torrey examines the
MOODS, the METHODS and the MEANINGS of prayer. He considers
all the problems and questioning of the sincere seeker, and
in answer to them offers an outline for effective praying
that is as positive as it is beautiful and inspirational.
The gentle art of prayer, within these pages, is put within
the reach of the least of us. To read it is a mountain-top
experience of communion with a loving, ANSWERING God.
"YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT"...
...and Dr. Torrey goes on to give reasons why men should
pray -- and what prayer can do:
"Prayer is God's appointed way for obtaining things, and the
great secret of all lack in our experience, in our life and
in our work is neglect of prayer."
"All the mighty men of God outside the Bible have been men
of prayer. They have differed from one another in many
things, but in this they have been alike."
"Prayer, in every care and anxiety and need of life, with
thanksgiving, is the means God has appointed for out
obtaining freedom from all anxiety, and the peace of God
which passeth all understanding."
Men should pray -- as Christ Himself prayed -- and this
little masterpiece of inspiration and faith tells you why,
how; it is a faithful guide to the richest fulfillment of the
Christian life.
