Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
CHRISTIAN LIVING
R. A. Torrey · 2016
64/100
👎 Skip It
R.A. Torrey's voice shaped American evangelicalism for a reason — he is clear, direct, and uncompromising on what he believes Christian life requires — and for readers in conservative or fundamentalist traditions, that consistency is a strength. Modern readers outside that tradition will find the tone narrow, and the 2016 expanded edition's added material has little track record of its own to lean on.
