Personal Author EPSB:

Summary:

To understand the continued and far-reaching ministry of A. W. Tozer, it is important to know who he was, including his relationship with God. In "The Life of A. W. Tozer", James Snyder lets us in on the life and times of a deep thinker who was not afraid to 'tell it like it is' and never compromised his beliefs. A. W. Tozerś spiritual legacy continues today as his writings challenge readers to a deeper relationship and worship of God in reverence and adoration. Here is Tozerś life story, from boyhood and his conversion at the age of seventeen, to his years of pastoring and writing more than 40 books, at least two regarded as Christian classics that continue to appear on best seller lists today. Examining Tozerś life allows the reader to learn from a prophet with much to say against the compromises he observed in contemporary Christian living and the hope he found in his incredible God. "The Life of A. W. Tozer" gives a behind the scenes look at the man and his message. We see God at work with hammer and chisel to shape Tozerś life into a vessel capable of influencing all who desire to walk with God.
