So Send I You

by Oswald Chambers

Have you been called of God? Do you have an assurance of your calling? Do you know what God is requiring of you as a workman in the Kingdom of His Son? Oswald Chambers draws the line for us to see what a true life on ministry is all about. Our purpose for living on this earth as Born-Again believers is simply for ministry. We have a great duty as Christians. By reading this book prayerfully, your heart will be enlarged as you search for your place in God's work. The Great Commission of Christ is not a suggestion but a command that is just as relevant for us today.

About the author

Oswald Chambers was born to devout parents in Aberdeen, Scotland. At age 16, Oswald Chambers was baptized and became a member of Rye Lane Baptist Chapel. Even as a teenager, Chambers was noted for his deep spirituality, and he participated in the evangelization of poor occupants of local lodging houses. Oswald married Gertrude in May 1910, and on May 24, 1913, Gertrude gave birth to their only child, Kathleen. In 1915, a year after the outbreak of World War I, Chambers was accepted as a YMCA chaplain. He was assigned to Zeitoun, Cairo, Egypt, where he ministered to Australian and New Zealand troops, who later participated in the Battle of Gallipoli. Soon his wooden-framed "hut" was packed with hundreds of soldiers listening attentively to his messages. Confronted by a soldier who said, "I can't stand religious people," Chambers replied, "Neither can I." Chambers was stricken with appendicitis on October 17, 1917 but resisted going to a hospital on the grounds that the beds would be needed by men wounded in the long-expected Third Battle of Gaza. On October 29th, a surgeon performed an emergency appendectomy, but Chambers died November 15, 1917 from a hemorrhage of the lungs. He was buried in Cairo with full military honors. Gertrude, for the remainder of her life published books and articles for him edited from the notes she had taken in shorthand from his sermons. Most successful of the thirty books was, "My Utmost for His Highest", which has never been out of print and has been translated into 39 languages.

This is a life book.

I love books. This is a book that will go into my collection of “life books”. I have “ life scriptures”; those that I refer back to, plant myself in, and they help me manage life, like Matt 6:33 and Josh 1:8. I’m going to create a collection of life books and this will be the first addition. I heard of this book from an interview with Dr Charles Stanley where he referred this book to be read before going into ministry. It is a must read! Perhaps with where I am currently in life and moving into ministry that makes this book so relatable, but the nuggets just seem like things I’ll need to read time and time again. You must digest this book, not simply read it. I highly recommend it!

Another excellent and challenging book packed with memorable quotes and insights into Scripture. Definitely not a book only for those called to overseas missions. I needed this challenge.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. The church today would look much different if conversation and teaching around ministry looked like this.
