2013 Reprint of 1900 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Written a little over a century ago, "How to Pray" is a wonderful treatise on prayer. The author, R. A. Torrey, effortlessly guides even the most seasoned person of prayer into deeper, more significant prayer. Torrey explains what prayer is, what it can do, and when one should pray. He also describes the hindrances that keep believers from praying effectively, and how with the power of God believers can overcome those hindrances. Filled with a spirit of graciousness, this classic work on prayer has helped generations and can also further one's own spiritual maturation in the "essential activity" of prayer.
