Genuinely insightful: We should never consider a prayer unanswered. Rather, God at times answers the prayers we *should have* prayed rather than what we asked for wrongly.

This book's double column format has stretched out my time spent reading it by quite a bit. The one western story featuring the Op took me over a month to get through.

Slow-going. Hard to read for fun while I'm reading everything I assigned my students to read in Brit Lit 2 this term. :)

I can't put this book down. Parts of it are shocking, parts familiar. More on that in my review.

Tozer is a convicting writer:
" . . . the self sins are self-righteousness, self-pity, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, self-admiration, self-love and a host of others like them." . . . "The grosser manifestations of these sins--egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion--are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders . . . they are so much in evidence as actually . . . to become identified with the gospel."

Reading this book out of a sense of duty and because I couldn't find Stephen King's Memoir on the shelf at JBU's library the other day.

Such a beautiful book.
