The Warfare of the Spirit: Developing Spiritual Maturity

Sadly this book is out of print. One would think that when a masterpiece is presented to us we would protect it. Tozer has written a message to the established church and the inner church. There is no doubt in my mind which one rejected the message. Warfare is quite possibly the most needed secular book of the times (then or now). A rating of 5 is quite low on a scale of 0-5. I am ashamed as I read this book but exhilerated at the forgiveness GOD offers us. SO SO sad that we use HIS forgiveness as liscense to continue on in our weakness rather then growing in HIS SPIRIT.

There is great reading to be found within the many short chapters of this book. "Eating the Locoweed" is one of my favourites. A.W. Tozer had a way of taking a simple sentence and making the truth of it hit hard. An example from "Eternal Retribution - A Bible Doctrine" : "The man who will not believe in hell must surrender his right to believe in heaven". Tozer's books stand in stark contrast to the writings of many today; John Shelby Spong, Robert Funk et al. The masses cling to anything that will "prove" a man right and God wrong. One finds no such foolishness and blasphemy with Tozer thankfully.
