R. A. Torrey 
How to Succeed in the Christian Life 

I have for years felt the need of a
book to put in the hands of those beginning the Christian life that would tell
them just how to make a complete success of this new life upon which they were
entering. I could find no such book, so I have been driven to write one. This
book aims to tell the young convert just what he most needs to know. I hope
that pastors and evangelists and other Christian workers may find it a good
book to put in the hands of young converts. I hope that it may also prove a
helpful book to many who have long been Christians but have not made that
headway in the Christian life that they long for.
