To Think About

"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 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.

Moody Classics
Of all the factors influencing our ^spiritual growth and development, pivotal books play a key role. Learning from those ^who have walked the path and fought the fight brings wisdom and strengthens resolve. ^And hearing the familiar chords of kingdom living sung by voices from other times ^can penetrate cultural barriers that limit our allegiance to the King. To this end, ^Moody Publishers is honored to introduce the first six volumes in what is to be ^an ongoing series of spiritual classics. Selected for their enduring influence and ^timeless perspective, these new editions promise to shape the lives of spiritual ^pilgrims for generations to come.
