Success and the Christian: The Cost of Spiritual Maturity

Success and the Christian is a compilation of A.W. Tozer sermons compiled by James L. Snyder that wrap up the subject matter of spiritual maturity both its cost and criteria for the believer. The overall summation of this series is to "promote the personal heart religion"' among God's people. A.W. Tozer was able to bring out the whole purpose and idea of achieving spiritual perfection.  Knowing God deeply and intimately brings purpose and meaning to life and should be the Christian's highest goal. So what holds us back from authentic spiritual success? A.W. Tozer contends it is the excess baggage that most Christians carry that prevents them from going further with God. In this insightful and prophetic book, Tozer shows how we can recognize and clear away the stumbling blocks that keep us from a dynamic relationship with our Savior. Tozer's dealing with this subject matter is broken into nine chapters including:

• Spiritual Perfection Defined
• He Is a Jealous Lover
• Formula for Spiritual Success
• Plague, the Terror Word
• The Deeper Life
• Unity that Brings Revival
• Five Rules for Holy Living
• Communion of Saints
• The Secret of Victory

The book ends with a close look at how we approach and look at death. Not really death but how we want to extend life. How we focus our attention of life and death. How we rate our life. How our work for God matters. What an awesome read!
