In the few short moments I have between getting ready for church this morning, and actually leaving, I sat down at my PC and read a little more of A. W. Tozer's book The Pursuit of God, on line. (The on line link is in the side panel of this blog.) Out of curiosity about the author, I also looked him up on line, and though I didn't find out when he was born, I found out that he went to the Lord on May 12, 1963.
A. W. Tozer has just joined C. S. Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer as the third Christian writer who will never leave the second shelf of my heart's book case. Only the Word of God is on the top shelf—to be "read, marked, learned and inwardly digested" (BCP, Proper 28).
But these three greatest modern Christians, the faithful martyr Bonhoeffer, the faithful professor Lewis, and the faithful confessor Tozer, they will never be far from my heart, mind and hand either.
Interesting that Lewis and Tozer both went to the Lord in 1963.
Wine flowing straight to my Beloved,
as it runs on the lips of those who sleep.
