Seasons of Opportunities

“We live between two mighty events…” Advent is as much about looking back as it is looking ahead—back to Christ’s incarnation, ahead to His return.  From Heaven  combines A. W. Tozer’s best reflections on these two themes to help us better appreciate the season of Advent. Each daily reading is paired with Scripture for meditation, drawing our attention to the rising light of Christ. “I am struck with the wonder and the significance of the limitless meaning of these two words,  He came.  Within them the whole scope of divine mercy and redeeming love is outlined.” — A. W. Tozer

"I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me."   —Psalm 16:7 (ESV) Every day runs its course, and all tasks but one must come to an end: to search God and know Him. Of this there can be no end. In these 365 daily reflections on the wonder of God and the way of His Word, Tozer prompts us to seek God earnestly and love Him with our whole heart. Known for his steadfast devotion and incisive ponderings upon the Christian life, A. W. Tozer is a wise and trustworthy counselor. As the daylight dims and the night winds down, let  Evenings with Tozer  rest your heart in God’s eternal wisdom. "Tozer is one of the great Christian writers of this century. Reading him is like drinking at an oasis in the desert." —Dr. J. I. Packer, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada Available on  Amazon
