“How to Pray” is the inspiring treatise on prayer by R. A. Torrey, the famed American pastor, educator, writer, and evangelist. Born Reuben Archer Torrey in New Jersey in 1856, Torrey was educated at Yale University and Yale Divinity School before becoming a minister in Ohio. Torrey later joined Dwight L. Moody in his evangelical work in Chicago and became the superintendent of the Bible Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society, now the Moody Bible Institute. In “How to Pray”, Torrey applies his impressive education and experience in guiding both the newly spiritual and the deeply religious to meaningful prayer. Torrey explains in style that is accessible to everyone what prayer is, what it can accomplish, and when in daily life one should devote themselves to this essential activity. He also explains the many obstacles that prevent the faithful from praying effectively and how the power of God can help overcome these obstacles. Written over a century ago, Torrey’s devotional guide is gracious, kind, and informative, and continues to aid generations of Christians in furthering their spiritual development.
