"Many Christians are eager to spread the Word but are unsure where to begin or how to confront strangers. Evangelist R.A. Torrey¿s How to Bring Them to Christ, written in a timeless fashion more than one hundred years ago, shows the way. Anticipating reactions from apathy and doubt to disdain, Torrey offers specific suggestions for dealing with the indifferent, the openhearted, the self-righteous, the uncertain, and the skeptical, as well as the many objections, excuses, and difficulties the average soulwinner might encounter. Torrey tackles each issue point by point, offering encouragement and helpfully including examples from his own experiences and verses from the Bible that can be used to bolster arguments. Includes 16 ¿Helpful Soulwinning Hints.¿ American pastor and writer REUBEN ARCHER TORREY (1856¿1928) traveled worldwide, evangelizing and winning converts to Christianity. A prolific writer, his works include Baptism with the Holy Spirit (1895), What the Bible Teaches (1898), and How to Pray (1900)."

(Excerpt from The New Topical Text Book: A Scripture Text ...)
Excerpt from The New Topical Text Book: A Scripture Text Book for the Use of Ministers, Teachers, and All Christian Workers There are four important suggestions to make regarding Topical Study of the Bible. First: Be systematic. DO not take up subjects for study at ran dom. Have a carefully prepared list of the subjects you wish to know about, and need to know about, and take them up one by one, in order. If you do not do this, the probability is that you will have a few pet topics and will be studying these over and over until you get to be a crank about them, and possibly a nuisance. You will know much about these subjects, but about many other subjects equally important you will know nothing. You will be a one=sided Christian. Second: Be thorough. When you take up a subject do not be content to study a few passages on this subject, but find just as far as possible every passage in the Bible on this subject. If you find the Text Book incomplete make additions Of your own to it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I6, we find that the expressions the Holy Spirit fell on them and the gift of the Holy Ghost and received the Holy Ghost are all equivalent to baptised with the Holy Ghost.

The author of these sermons has had a feeling for a long time that the great need in our churches in this day is systematic indoctrination. He put his theory into practice last winter in his own church, and these sermons are the result. We were having a great many accessions to our church. In the two years of the church's history we had had something like six hundred accessions to the church, and every month considerable numbers of new members were being added. While many of these came by letter from other churches, many of them were new converts and had had practically no systematic instruction in the fundamental truths of the Christian faith, so we announced a series of sermons on The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith. There was immediately a large increase in the attendance at the services where these addresses were given, and this increase has kept up until on the last Lord's Day we had much the largest attendance we have ever had, excepting on Easter Sunday. Many have testified to the blessing received from these sermons, and there has been a great demand that the sermons be printed for general circulation. This request has come from ministers of various denominations, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, and others. It is hoped that this volume will be useful to other pastors in suggesting lines of teaching in their regular pastoral work, and also that it may be used widely by pastors and others for circulation among Christians. We live in a day in which many of our church members are all at sea as to what they believe on the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. These sermons have already helped many through their delivery. It is hoped they will reach and help far more in the printed form. R. A. Torrey.

From many earnest hearts there is rising a cry for more power: more power in our personal conflict with the world, the flesh, and the devil, more power in our work for others. The Bible makes the way to obtain this longedfor power very plain. There is no presumption in underrt taking to tell How to obtain Fulness of i Power in Christian Life and Service ;for the Bible itself tells, and the Bible was intended to be understood. The Bible statement of the way is not mystical nor mysterious, it is very plain and straightforward. If we will only make personal trial of The Power of the Word of God, The Power of the Blood of Christ, The Power of the Holy Spirit, The Power of Prayer, The Power of a Surrendered Life, we will then know The Fulness of Power in Christian Life and Service. We will try to make this plain in the following chapters. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Torrey was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, on 28 January 1856.
He graduated from Yale University in 1875 and Yale Divinity School in 1878.
In 1907, he accepted an honorary doctorate from Wheaton College.
Following graduation, Torrey became a Congregational minister in Garrettsville, Ohio, in 1878. He joined D. L. Moody in his evangelistic work in Chicago in 1889, and became pastor of the Chicago Avenue Church in 1894 and afterwards superintendent of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. In 1902-1903 he preached in nearly every part of the English-speaking world, and with Charles McCallon Alexander conducted revival services in Great Britain from 1903 to 1905; Torrey conducted a similar campaign in American and Canadian cities in 1906-1907. During this period, he also visited China, Japan, Australia, and India. Torrey conducted a similar campaign in American and Canadian cities in 1906–1907. Throughout these campaigns, Torrey used a meeting style that he borrowed from Moody's campaigns of the 1870s.
In 1912, Torrey was persuaded to build another institution like Moody Bible Institute, and from 1912 to 1924, he served as Dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now Biola University) and contributed to the BIOLA publication, The King's Business. Beginning in 1915, he served as the first pastor of the Church of the Open Door, Los Angeles. 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".
He died at home in Asheville, North Carolina, on October 26, 1928.
He preached throughout the world and wrote more than 40 books.
