Here is another collection that Logos Bible Software is beginning to publish that I am excited about.

by R. A. Torrey
Moody,Fleming H. Revell,Good News 1901–1917
Overview
The Selected Works of R. A. Torrey (4 vols.) is a valuable collection for anyone hungering to see revival, looking for resources on divine healing, seeking to hear the voice of God, or desiring to pray more effectively. As a preacher, Reuben Archer Torreycaptivated massive crowds with his passionate yet sensible appeals to Scripture. As an author, he wrote works regarded as classics in fields including theology, apologetics, Bible exposition, and practical Christian living. Torrey, possessing an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the Bible, used this knowledge to help readers apply Scripture in practical ways. The four volumes included here are lesser-known titles—additional pieces of wisdom and insight for studying not only the Bible, but also the practicalities of Christian life and ministry.
The Logos Bible Software edition of the Selected Works of R. A. Torrey is designed to enhance and accelerate your study. The Logos editions are fully searchable and easily accessible. Scripture passages link directly to your preferred English translation and to the original-language texts, and important concepts link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. In addition, you can perform powerful searches by topic and find what other authors, scholars, and theologians have to say about divine healing, revival, prayer, and much more.

Individual Titles
In this volume, Torrey discusses his belief in and experience with the concept of divine healing: its scriptural basis, the manner in which people should pray for it, the use of medicine, and how we should view its occurrence or non-occurrence. Torrey bases his discussion on three biblical passages involving healing: James 5: 14–15, Matthew 8: 16–17, and 2 Kings 13: 14.
In this text, Torrey collects experiences of “men whom God has used in winning souls to Christ and building up believers” in order to provide a resource for the “thousands of ministers and other Christian workers . . . longing for a true revival of God’s work, but with no experimental or even theoretical knowledge of how to go to work to promote such a revival.” This text also includes the chapters “The Holy Spirit in a Revival” and “The Place of Prayer in a Revival,” and a series of sermons condensed into outline form. Suggestive outlines come from eminent evangelists including Torrey, D. L. Moody, Charles G. Finney, Charles Spurgeon.
Condensed from R. A. Torrey’s How to Pray, this title is designed as a more accessible version that can be read in one sitting. Torrey’s classic text is a spiritual gem that has remained popular for over 100 years, celebrating the power of prayer. Beginning with the importance of prayer, Torrey’s practical guidebook covers the how, when, and most importantly, the why of praying. This version is an excellent devotional resource for any Christian library.
This volume contains a collection of R. A. Torrey’s sermons, preached between autumn of 1916 and spring of 1917 at The Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles, California, amidst the trials and anxieties of the First World War. With titles including “God’s Guidance and How to Get It,” “Why I Believe That Jesus Christ Is God in Human Form,” and “The Secret of Abiding Peace, Abounding Joy, and Abundant Victory in War Times and at All Times,” there are kernels of wisdom that still resonate strongly with readers. These sermons are brimming with passion and remain a treasury of spiritual insights and biblical exegesis.
