Author Bio

Reuben Archer Torrey was born on January 28, 1856 in Hoboken, New Jersey to Reuben and Elizabeth. His parents were Christian and his mother was a woman of prayer. His family was affluent for the first part of his life; his father was a successful banker and lawyer. Torrey was extremely shy and never spoke up in front of visitors. Although he grew up in a Christian home Torrey did not make a personal commitment to Christ. Once he read a book on becoming a Christian and was convicted that God might be calling him to become a preacher. That did not appeal to him and he decided to become a lawyer. He went to Yale University at 15 years old and started to lead a worldly life.

Torrey's conversion came in a very dramatic way. One night in 1875, while still at Yale, he had a dream in which his mother came to him as an angel and asked him to preach the gospel. The fight was on! Immediately he was overcome with a desire to kill himself. His mother, miles away, was awakened by God to pray for him. Torrey came to his senses and knew that he must pray. He knelt and said "Oh, God, deliver me from this burden. I'll even preach!" Immediately he was overcome with a sense of peace. He graduated in the summer of 1875 and went on to Yale Divinity School. He also began to evangelize. He still found it difficult to speak in front of an audience and had to hold onto a chair to even give a talk in front of a class.
