The Dynamic Power of Obedience: An Essential Christian Practice for Bearing Fruit

by A.W. Tozer, James L. Snyder (compiler)

Culture is saturated in self-interest and self-preservation, and the church has become complacent--and complicit. Many Christians want God to move--but only if they don't have to move. In an age of spectacle and opulence, we've lost sight of sacrifice and obedience.

In this never-before-published compilation of teachings, A.W. Tozer turns to Bible passages and stories like Abraham and Isaac, unpacking them to reveal spiritual truths crucial to a lifetime of fruitfulness and unwavering obedience. With wisdom and practical insight, he reveals how to
· surrender completely to Jesus without compromise
· obey even when shrouded in confusion and questions
· stay the course when your surrender and obedience are challenged
· live each day in full obedience to Christ

When you are committed to a life of non-negotiated obedience, you will discover a power in your Christian life that you didn't know before--and can't explain now. Obedience will cost you everything. But it will give you everything God has intended for you.

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.
