Toward a More Perfect Faith

There has hardly ever been in my ministry a series of sermons to which I have given more time, more pain and more prayer than I did to this series from Philippians 3.

A. W. Tozer called these sermons the most important he ever preached. Looking closely at Philippians 3, he describes the Christian as a modern-day Lazarus who hears the call to arise—but can't escape the grave clothes. In this new series of sermon transcriptions, Tozer shows us how to live with freedom.

Toward a Deeper Faith gives us Tozer’s sermons on:

• Considering Perfection in the Christian Life
• Four Kinds of Christians
• Discovering the Loveliness of Jesus Christ
• The Will of God and Its Relationship to Our Cross
• The Obstacle of Self Trust
• Living in His Righteousness . . . and more.

We are heirs to the King, and Tozer wants us to reclaim our heritage. Return again and again to Tozer’s twelve sermons that will bring you into a deeper life of love and maturity in Jesus Christ.

A. W. TOZER began his lifelong pursuit of God at the age of seventeen after hearing a street preacher. He never attended high school or seminary—his spiritual understanding came from the power of the Word and the power of the Spirit. While serving as a pastor and magazine editor, he wrote prolifically about basic spiritual disciplines and their relationship to contemporary life. His powerful use of words continues to grip the intellect and stir the soul of today's reader.
