A 20th-century prophet" they called
him even in his lifetime. For 31 years he was pastor of
Southside Alliance Church in Chicago, where his
reputation as a man of God was citywide. Concurrently he
became editor of Alliance Life, a responsibility he
fulfilled until his death in 1963.
His greatest legacy to the Christian
world has been his 30 books. Because A.W. Tozer lived in
the presence of God he saw clearly and he spoke as a
prophet to the church. He sought for God's honor with
the zeal of Elijah and mourned with Jeremiah at the
apostasy of God's people.
But he was not a prophet of despair.
His writings are messages of concern. They expose the
weaknesses of the church and denounce compromise. They
warn and exhort. But they are messages of hope as well,
for God is always there, ever faithful to restore and to
fulfill His Word to those who hear and obey.
