Tozer: Mystery Of The Holy Spirit
"It is by the Spirit that God works His mighty work." A.W. Tozer
Dr. A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) was a twentieth-century prophet with keen insight into spiritual things, especially the nature of the Church at large. He spoke with prophetic precision about issues within the Church that he believed were crippling the Church spiritually. Mystery of the Holy Spirit is a collection of sermons that reveal Tozer's prophetic insights into this crucial topic.
These sermons on the Holy Spirit represent Dr. Tozer at his best. Tozer's critique of the Church is as relevant today as when he first preached it from his pulpit in Chicago more than a half-century ago. These powerful messages exude the timeless fragrance of God's anointing, pinning us down and piercing our hearts.
"We have grieved the Holy Spirit," Dr. Tozer warned, "and He has withdrawn His anointing from many Christians."
The greatest sin within the Evangelical church, according to Dr. Tozer, is neglecting the Holy Spirit and not allowing Him to be Lord in the Church. In these sermons we are challenged to confess this sin and invite the Holy Spirit to resume His rightful place of Lordship in our churches and in our lives today.
In an era when many extremes are being promoted in the name of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Tozer's cautious warnings are more than apropos-they are an urgent call to action.
About the author
Aiden Wilson Tozer (April 21, 1827- May 12, 1963) was born in the United States. He was an American Christian pastor, writer, magazine editor, and spiritual mentor. For his achievements, he got honorary doctorates from Wheaton and Houghton schools. Tozer started writing in 1931 for the denominational magazine of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Alliance Weekly, which later became the platform for his writing career. He later published the monthly column "There's Truth in It" in 1936-37 and "A Word in Season" in 1944-46. In May 1950, he started working as the editor of the Alliance Weekly, until he passed away in 1963. Tozer's The Pursuit of God (1948), gave Tozer a commonly recognized name among evangelicals. Moreover, of the 12 books he published in his lifespan, more than 40 books have been compiled from his magazine features, editorials, and transcribed speeches. A few of Tozer's works are presented in the public domain and also issued by multiple publishers.
