First sentence: Men and women without God are helpless and hopeless human beings. We do well to remember that sin is to the human nature what cancer is to the human body! Can can argue with the fact that sin has ruined us?

I can be harsh when it comes to devotions. I can. But I can't be harsh with a TOZER devotional. One of my main issues with many devotionals is that devotionals tend to be shallow, story-oriented, light on Scripture, focused more on warm-fuzzies than on teaching truth. Tozer is almost always substantive, thought-provoking, tell-it-like-it-is, zealous and passionate for God's glory.

I love, love, love A.W. Tozer. I love his zeal, his passion, his enthusiasm. This book is a collection--366 devotions? 365 devotions--of quotes from his sermons and published works. Each entry was short--about one and a half pages--but substantive.

I definitely recommend this one.

Quote:
I hope that if I am remembered at all, it will be for this reason: I have spent my efforts and my energies trying to turn the direction of the people away from the external elements of religion to those that are internal and spiritual. I have tried to take away some of the clouds in the hope that men and women would be able to view God in His glory. I would like to see this sense of glory recaptured throughout the church—too many Christians do not expect to experience any of the glory until they see Him face-to-face! ( )
