The Holy Spirit: Who He Is and What He Does

by R. A. Torrey

Overview

R. A. Torreys books have probably helped more people understand the Bible and have led more souls to Christ than the writings of anyone since the Apostle Paul. Not only was Torrey a great Bible teacher and preacher, he was also filled with the Holy Spirit. He lived what he preached. In his worldwide revival crusades, Torrey presented three main teachings: on Christ, on prayer, and on the person of the Holy Spirit. This book focuses on the latter teaching: The Holy Spirit: Who He Is and What He Does. In addition to Torreys teaching on the person of the Holy Spirit, this book presents seven of his shorter teachings, which he shared at Moody Bible Institute, in the churches he pastored, and in various places around the world. These seven teachings are on:

• The Deity of Jesus Christ.
• The Power of the Blood.
• The Power of the Holy Spirit.
• The Power of Prayer.
• The Power of the Word of God.
• The Place of Prayer in Evangelism.
• Keep Praying Until God Answers.

When you read this book, you will receive definite personal blessing in your heart, life, and service, and you will know who the Holy Spirit is and what He does.

About the Author

Reuben Archer Torrey (1856––1928) is respected as one of the greatest evangelists of modern times. Several years after his graduation from Yale Divinity School, he was selected by D. L. Moody to become the first dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Under his direction, Moody Institute became a pattern for Bible institutes around the world. Dr. Torrey spent the years of 1903–1905 in worldwide revival campaigns, winning thousands of souls to Jesus Christ. He continued worldwide crusades for the next fifteen years while he served as the dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and pastored the Church of the Open Door in that city. Torrey longed for more Christian workers to take an active part in bringing the message of salvation through Christ to a lost and dying world. His straightforward style of evangelism has shown thousands of Christian workers how to become effective soulwinners.
