POCKET GUIDE
FOR CHRISTIAN WORKERS
IN THE AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION

(originally NIV)

The best texts for personal work, classified for practical use, printed in full and arranged for ready reference by

R. A. TORREY


INTRODUCTION

This little book is prepared in response to a request from one who is, perhaps, in as good a position as anyone to know what Christian workers really want. It is not intended to supplant the larger work, How to Bring Men to Christ. Any who desire more definite and detailed instruction in the right use of the Scripture given in this book and in the general work of soul-winning are referred to the larger volume. Opinions of the most experienced workers may differ as to which are “the Best Texts” for any given case, but those quoted in this book are those which have approved themselves as such in the study and experience of the author.
There is medicine in the Bible for every sin sick soul, but every soul does not need the same medicine. This book attempts to arrange the remedies according to maladies.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE

This edition transcribes the Scripture passages selected by Dr. R. A. Torrey into the New International Version of the Bible. In addition, sections XII, XIII, and XIV have been composed and inserted to make the NIV Pocket Guide particularly helpful for dealing with significant problems of our time.
