This is a derivative work, which has been transformed and adapted. (i.e. updated and expanded) The purchaser of Torrey alone would have only received 124 pages of somewhat outdated material. A purchaser of Andrews and Torrey combined, will receive 229 pages of current scholarship.
The Bible is unlike any other book--it contains loving instruction from God. (1 Thessalonians 2:13) If you apply what the Bible teaches, you will benefit greatly. You will increase your love for God and will draw close to him, the Giver of "every good gift and every perfect present." (James 1:17) You will come to know how to approach him in prayer. During times of trouble, you can experience God's help. If you harmonize your life with the standards set out in the Bible, God will give you everlasting life.--Romans 6:2
The Bible contains truths that give enlightenment. Those who gain Bible knowledge are liberated from the misconceptions that dominate the lives of millions. For example, knowing the truth about what happens after we die frees us from fear that the dead can harm us or that our dead relatives and friends are suffering. (Ezekiel 18:4) The Bible's teaching of the resurrection gives comfort to those who have lost loved ones in death. (John 11:25) Knowing the truth about wicked angels alerts us to the dangers of Spiritism and helps us to understand why there is so much trouble on earth. The godly principles in the Bible show us how to live in a way that brings physical benefits. For example, being "moderate in habits" contributes to good health. (1 Timothy 3:2) By 'cleansing ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit,' we avoid damaging our health. (2 Corinthians 7:1) Applying God's counsel found in the Bible also promotes happiness in marriage and self-respect.--1 Corinthians 6:18.

Reuben Archer Torrey was an American evangelist, pastor, educator, and writer. Held evangelistic meetings around the world with song leader Charlie Alexander. Called by D.L. Moody to head the Bible Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society (now Moody Bible Institute); Dean of Bible Institute of Los Angeles; pastorates included Chicago Avenue Church (now Moody Memorial Church) and Church of the Open Door, Los Angeles.
Besides his obvious gifts in all these areas, he was also a man of prayer, a student of the Bible, and an outstanding personal soul-winner. It is said that he daily read the Bible in four languages, having a good working knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. Some students of church history feel he did more to promote personal evangelism than any other one man since the days of the apostles. His prayer life has seldom been equaled in the annals of Christendom.
Reuben A. Torrey wrote some forty books and his practical writings on the Holy Spirit, prayer, salvation, soul-winning, and evangelism are still favorites of many Christians.
