Jesus Author of Our Faith

by A.W. Tozer

This book is centered on Jesus. The author's intention, from chapter to chapter, is to underscore the necessity of an active, abiding faith in Jesus Christ. Tozer reaches into his personal experience as he applies the rich truths of key texts from the final chapters of the letter to the Hebrews. This book is a companion volume to Jesus, Our Man in Glory, which is based on the earlier chapters of Hebrews. Together, the two books examine most of the important emphases in the significant Letter.

About the author

Aiden Wilson Tozer was an American evangelical pastor, speaker, writer, and editor. After coming to Christ at the age of seventeen, Tozer found his way into the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination where he served for over forty years. In 1950, he was appointed by the denomination's General Council to be the editor of "The Alliance Witness" (now "Alliance Life").

Born into poverty in western Pennsylvania in 1897, Tozer died in May 1963 a self-educated man who had taught himself what he missed in high school and college due to his home situation. Though he wrote many books, two of them, "The Pursuit of God" and "The Knowledge of the Holy" are widely considered to be classics.

A.W. Tozer and his wife, Ada Cecelia Pfautz, had seven children, six boys and one girl.

As always with Tozer... excellent!

[Justin Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

Encourages Christians to be bold. Typical pre-mil over-emphasizes escatology.
