Torrey Evangelism IntroTab

DR. R. A. TORREY

Dr. Torrey was regarded by multitudes during his lifetime as at the very top in soul-winning, Bible teaching, and the training of Christian workers. He was selected by D. L. Moody as the superintendent of Moody Bible Institute, where he established the Bible Institute curriculum and made Moody Institute a pattern for Bible institutes around the world. He was also pastor of Moody Memorial Church, Chicago. His courses on soul-winning and his practical methods stamped themselves on the lives of Christian workers by the thousands. Later he was the co-founder of the Bible Insti tute of Los Angeles, now Biola College. At the same time he was pastor of the great Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles.

But Dr. Torrey was primarily an evangelist. After the death of Moody, Dr. Torrey and Charles M. Alexander held the largest campaigns in America and then went around the world, winning hundreds of thousands of souls in great campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, and the British Isles, and on the mission fields of the Orient.

The Booklet, “Vest Pocket Companion for Christian Workers”

This little book is prepared in response to a request from one who is, perhaps, in as good a position to know what Christians workers wish as any man in America. It is not intended to supplant the larger work, “How to Bring Men to Christ.” Any who desire more definite and detailed instruction in the right use of the Scripture given in this book and in the general work of soul-winning are referred to the larger volume. Opinions of the most experienced workers may differ as to which are “the Best Texts” for any given case, but those quoted in this book are those which have approved themselves as such in the study and experience of the author.

There is medicine in the Bible for every sin-sick soul, but every soul does not need the same medicine. This book attempts to arrange the remedies according to the maladies.
