Publisher Description
"Whatever else I do, I must pray," emphasized R. A. Torrey. This strong conviction runs through the writings of all seven of the renowned Christian authors featured in this book.
A Passion for Prayer offers spiritual and practical advice on how to effectively enter into prayer, live a life infused with prayer, and see profound answers to your petitions. It includes the writings of R. A. Torrey, Charles Spurgeon, E. M. Bounds, George Müller, Andrew Murray, Charles Finney, and D. L. Moody.
These select excerpts from their works cover a range of topics, including why prayer is important, prayer and devotion, prayer that motivates God, praying for loved ones, the example of Jesus, praying in Jesus's name, the results of prayer, the problems of prayer, the role of thanksgiving, proper petitioning prayer, and the condition of prevailing prayer.
A Passion for Prayer will greatly encourage your prayer life―whether you are just beginning the practice of prayer or seeking closer communion with God and a deeper commitment to His purposes in the world.
This book is your invitation to capture the same passionate conviction as these seven men of faith: I must pray!

George Fredrick Müller (1805–1898), a Christian evangelist and director of orphanages in Bristol, England, cared for 10,024 orphans throughout his lifetime. He was well-known for providing an education to the children under his care, to the point where he was accused of raising the poor above their “natural station in life.” In 1875 he began preaching tours that took him over two hundred thousand miles to forty-two different countries.
Andrew Murray (1828–1917) was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, he was sent to Aberdeen, Scotland, for his education, where he obtained his MA in 1845. From there he went to the University of Utrecht where he studied theology. He was ordained by the Hague Committee of the Dutch Reformed Church in 1848 and returned to South Africa where he pastored churches in Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town, and Wellington. He was a champion of the South African Revival of 1860. He married Emma Rutherford in 1856 in Cape Town, South Africa, and they had eight children.
