How God Used R.A. Torrey by Fred Sanders

How God Used R.A. Torrey by Fred Sanders

Inside: sermons to change you, a life to inspire you.

R. A. Torrey was a master-of-all-trades minister. Scholar, expositor, storyteller, and evangelist, he brought it all together to do what people called that famous Torrey thing.

And that famous Torrey thing won souls.

Inside are the most famous, influential, and characteristic of his sermons. Though nearly a century old, they challenge us anew from Scripture and are greatly instructive to any who preach.

Drawn from various periods of his ministry and accented by biographical commentary, Torrey's sermons paint a portrait of a man gripped by God. But even more, they grip the reader, thrusting them into the great halls where God's Word bellowed forth from Torrey and left his audiences hushed. It's no wonder that he caught the attention of the great evangelist D. L. Moody.

Be ready to be provoked, for like an archer who strikes with both accuracy and force, Torrey preached with clarity while cutting deep to the heart. Behind the bow you'll see a man fully sold on the kingdom of God, and you'll be inspired to follow suit.
