Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
Oswald Chambers was a Scottish minister and teacher whose teachings on the life of faith and abandonment to God have endured to this day. He was born in Scotland and spent much of his boyhood there. His ministry of teaching and preaching took him for a time to the United States and Japan. The last six years of his life were spent as principal of the Bible Training Col ege in London, and as a chaplain to the British Commonwealth troops in Egypt during World War I. After his death, the books which bear his name were compiled by his wife from her own verbatim shorthand notes of his talks. This daily devotional is a col ection of his teachings compiled by his wife into a daily devotional format. It's presented here in the original English.
FOREWORD
These daily readings have been selected from various sources, chiefly from the lectures given at the Bible Training Col ege, Clapham, during the years 1911-1915; then, from October 1915 to November 1917, from talks given night by night in the Y.M.C.A. Huts, Zeitoun, Egypt. In November 1917 my husband entered into God's presence. Since then many of the talks have been published in book form, and others from which these readings have been gathered wil also be published in due course.
A large proportion of the readings have been chosen from the talks given during the Devotional Hour at the Col ege - an hour which for many of the students marked an epoch in their life with God.
"Men return again and again to the few who have mastered the spiritual secret, whose life has been hid with Christ in God These are of the old time religion, hung to the nails of the Cross." (Robert Murray McCheyne.)
It is because it is felt that the author is one to whose teaching men wil return, that this book has been prepared, and it is sent out with the prayer that day by day the messages may continue to bring the quickening life and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
