The Power of Prayer: And the Prayer of Power

by R. A. Torrey

Overview

The Power of Prayer is the classic handbook on tapping the unlimited power of God.

It discusses the freedom, peace, and security available through communication with God and answers common questions about prayer:

• How to pray?
• Who can pray?
• Why pray?
• What interferes with prayer?
• How to overcome hindrances to prayer?
• What can prayer do for a person or a nation?

No other book so clearly outlines the positives of prayer, the prerequisites of prayer, the purpose of prayer, or the power of prayer.
