I’ve just been digging into some Tozer books I’ve had on my shelf for years, and wow have they been helpful.

I’ve read them before, but they didn’t have the impact they are having now.

I kind of wonder why it is that I didn’t get this stuff sooner. I have friends who are also asking the same thing. Why do we have to be getting so far along in years before we really GET it.

“Tozer... helpful...”

Interesting. Psalm 118: 8 applies to Tozer.

Tozer taught that there can be no spiritual regeneration until there has been a moral reformation. Tozer clearly states that a person’s salvation is conditioned upon one’s intention to reform. (”The Best of A.W. Tozer”, book 2 pg 115 - 117.)

A very Catholic concept! And - Tozer read and was influenced by several of the great Catholic mystics.

Tozer taught that a person must reform their life in order to trust Christ which is a form of the dreaded works salvation.

Tozer thinks like a Catholic.
