A.W. Tozer: A Twentieth Century Prophet by David J. Fant

Raised on a farm and as a lad limited to a one-room country school education, by a "do-it-yourself" method Doctor Tozer achieved the rank of scholar. Such descriptive terms as oracle, seer, and Christian mystic were applied to him. By precept and example he raised the standard of scholarship and endeavor of thousands of his fellows. In his preaching he resurrected neglected truths and practices which had been long buried and forgotten. In the hearts of thousands of Christians was created a thirst for "the deep things of God" and another generation began to drink of living waters. This book presents a brief survey of his life and a sampling of his work as prophet, scholar, mystic, theologian, pastor, missionary, poet, author and editor. It reflects not only a modern prophet but a saint - a man of indefatigable zeal with an insatiable craving for God. Taking the reader by the hand, [the reader is conducted] to the springs from which he derived soul refreshment and spiritual strength..
