Description
A Call for Every Christian to Move from Shallow Living to Deep FaithIn The Dangers of a Shallow Faith, renowned theologian A.W. Tozer warns believers in Christ against the great danger of spiritual lethargy. He urges Christians to be aware of the times in which they live and to recognize how attempting to live a life for God on autopilot will actually undermine their faith. For Tozer, the risks are so significant that "breaking out from the tyranny of spiritual lethargy--whatever the cost--should be the number-one priority of every Christian."In this never-before-published compilation, followers of Christ will discover anew the importance of standing boldly against spiritual and moral slumber. They will also see the importance of remaining awake in the face of constant temptation and distraction. Discover the spiritual awakening and change the Holy Spirit can bring to your life as you surrender completely to God and walk in a deeper faith… (more)
User reviews
This book is so true to our day and time and yet it was written many years before us. It is as if Tozer looked into the future to a generation that would be on the brink of destruction and penned a letter under the hand of God to remind the church of God's WORD, not the words of man or man's tradition but simply the importance of that life-giving faith in Christ.
He opens this book with this bold statement (even bolder consider the time in which he originally penned it):
"The evangelical church in America is facing serious hazards that threaten to bring it to the bring of apostasy. My prayer it is not too late for awakening that will lead to successful reformation." (page 13)
So much of this book is quote worthy that it would be easy to just copy it - but then why would you ever pick up a copy? Absolutely a great read and a challenge issued from a man who walk his faith and has stood against the flow of popular opinion. I encourage you to pick up a copy and be encouraged and challenged in your Christian walk.
Thanks to Regal for this review copy!
