Download or read book The Early Tozer A Word in Season written by A. W. Tozer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Tozer: A Word in Season is a compilation by James L. Snyder containing selected articles by A. W. Tozer from his earliest years. In the1940s and 50s, A. W. Tozer wrote a regular column for the Alliance Weekly, and this book is a selection of many of those editorials (all published before Pursuit of God). In fact, these editorials were instrumental in getting Tozer elected to the office of editor of Alliance Weekly from 1950–1963. Tozer opens with a reminder that we are all in debt to God for His grace. The rest of the chapters fall into place from this cornerstone of the belief. Tozer covers such issues as repentance, public readings of Scripture, and the notion that a church's ministry is a gauge of its spiritual well-being. He urges sincerity among believers, for them to be in fellowship with one another and with God. Tozer stands firm in his theology and his unapologetic criticisms of the modern church. He declares that the most important thing is a right relationship with God, while reminding his readers that as believers, they are saved by the grace of God on His terms, as well as revealing anew the importance of surrendering to His will.

Download or read book The Knowledge of the Holy written by A. W. Tozer and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as the Quakers used to say, "speak to the condition" of his hearers; otherwise he will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation. The message of this book does not grow out of these times but it is appropriate to them. It is called forth by a condition which has existed in the Church for some years and is steadily growing worse. I refer to the loss of the concept of majesty from the popular religious mind. The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping men. This she has done not deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.

Download or read book A Passion for God written by Lyle Dorsett and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I fear we shall never see another Tozer. Men like him are not college-bred but Spirit-taught.' Leonard Ravenhill, 20th century British evangelist. Pastor A. W. Tozer, author of the Christian classics The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy, was a complex, intensely private, deeply spiritual man, and a gifted preacher whose impact for the kingdom of God is immeasurable. In this thoughtful biography, bestselling author Lyle Dorsett traces Tozer's life from his humble beginnings as a Pennsylvania farm boy to his heyday as a Chicago pastor- when hundreds of college students would travel to his South Side church to hear him preach and thousands more heard his Sunday broadcasts on WMBI- to his final pastorate in Toronto. From his conversion as a teen to his death in 1963, Tozer remained true to one passion: to know the Father and make Him known, no matter what the cost. The price he paid was loneliness, censure from other, more secular-minded ministers of the times, and even a degree of estrangement from his family. Read the life story of a flawed but gifted saint, whose works are still impacting the world today.
