This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/how-to-pray-by-reuben-archer-torrey/
Pastor and evangelist R.A. Torrey considers the place and manner of constant, persistent, sleepless, overcoming prayer in the life of Christians. (Summary by MaryAnn)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://archive.org/details/howtopray00torrgoog

Target completion date:

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Sections 1 and 2 are PL OK
The introduction is one of the best I've heard!
He gave me a new perspective on Hebrews 7:25 and Romans 8:34, the intercession of Christ!

Got to run to help prepare some wood for another house building trip to Mexico, although I'll be going with the medical team this time.

Looking forward to the rest of this book. :D

Thank you Larry.

It is an answer to prayer that this caught my attention today, and that I've been able to devote a chunk of the day to reading it and thinking about it.

My pleasure to listen to your skillful reading of this book, MaryAnn!
Glad to mark them all PL OK.

I know you've done solos of several of Torrey's other books.
I'm thinking of setting up Anecdotes and illustrations as a group projects, unless that is on your list.

Thank you Larry.

I do hope to do more of his books, but that one is not on my target list. It seems like a nice one for a group project. They are short and discrete ... and may be a good starting point for new readers.
