In a world full of puzzling problems, it’s nice to find a source of practical solutions. From God’s own Word, Dr. R. A. Torrey delves into the specifics of what Christianity is all about and offers biblically sound responses to probing questions, such as:
Can I be forgiven of every sin I’ve ever committed?
How much power does Satan really have?
Is there a chance to be saved after death?
Can a minister be a tool of the Devil?
What will people look like in heaven?
How can I get rid of sin in my life?
Will there be marriage in heaven?
Can I be perfect in God’s eyes?
How can I be sure I am saved?
Here you will find both rousing and comforting words—words to strengthen you and words to stir you. Most of all, you will find biblically based truths—truths that have stood the test of time and will endure throughout eternity. As you learn to combat the false teachings of others and to silence those nagging inner doubts, you will experience the vitality and joy that come from knowing God’s truth.

Reuben Archer Torrey was an American evangelist, pastor, educator, and writer. Held evangelistic meetings around the world with song leader Charlie Alexander. Called by D.L. Moody to head the Bible Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society (now Moody Bible Institute); Dean of Bible Institute of Los Angeles; pastorates included Chicago Avenue Church (now Moody Memorial Church) and Church of the Open Door, Los Angeles.
Besides his obvious gifts in all these areas, he was also a man of prayer, a student of the Bible, and an outstanding personal soul-winner. It is said that he daily read the Bible in four languages, having a good working knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. Some students of church history feel he did more to promote personal evangelism than any other one man since the days of the apostles. His prayer life has seldom been equaled in the annals of Christendom.
Reuben A. Torrey wrote some forty books and his practical writings on the Holy Spirit, prayer, salvation, soul-winning, and evangelism are still favorites of many Christians.
