Tozer Speaks: Two-Volume Set: 128 Compelling & Authoritative Teachings of A.W. Tozer

by A.W. Tozer, Gerald B. Smith (Compiler)

Formerly an 8-volume set called The Pulpit Series, Tozer Speaks is a 2-volume hardcover set that contains 128 compelling and authoritative teachings of A.W. Tozer in an easy-to-read format. A.W. Tozer's sharp and incisive preaching and writing style will startle some readers. Others will chuckle. But everyone will agree, "No one could say it like Tozer!" Contained within this treasure are many selections from His pulpit ministry, including (but not limited to): An unnamed layman at A.W. Tozer's Southside Alliance church in Chicago once stated, "Dr. Tozer had not been with us long before we knew we had a prophet of God in our midst. It was then that we felt constrained to begin putting his Sunday morning and evening sermons on tape." Tozer Speaks puts many of those tapes to print so that today you can read the sermons of a man truly gifted by God.

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.

Over the last couple years I have heard Tozer quoted by a number of people and authors so I thought I should read some of his works. This two volume set covers a good deal of is work and I believe gives a good overview of his theology. While he died in 1963 I found it fascinating how topics are still relevant today even if we are in a different place as a society. I think you will at times find yourself seeing our society but maybe more advanced in both technology and the fall of man.

I found a lot of food for thought here and the fact he was writing more than 60 years ago about the early days of what we are experiencing now it made me wonder where we are headed.
