Who doesn't need help developing their character when it comes to suffering, peril, prayer, patience, or who doesn't need answers in the areas of loneliness and divine guidance? Oswald Chambers, author of My Utmost for His Highest calls these disciplines, and helps you understand God's perspective and how to understand the events of our life, and how they are used to mold you more and more into the character of Christ. As you grow in these personal disciplines, you'll find that your intimacy with Christ grows too, helping you to find a more satisfying and abundant faith life.

“If we trace the lineaments of the servants of God in the Bible, we find a servant of God to be altogether different from an instrument of God. An instrument of God is one whom God takes up and uses and puts down again. A servant of God is one who has given up for ever his right to himself, and is bound to his Lord as His slave.” (source)

“The eternal truth is that God created me to be distinctly not Himself, but to realise Him in perfect love. If I allow that God teaches me to walk in His will, I shall allow my neighbour, whom I love as myself, the same certainty, although his way may seem so different. ‘What is that to thee? follow thou Me.’” (source)

“the true portraiture of the saint: Saved, and sanctified, and sent.” (source)

“The school of the Divine Guidance by God’s Sayings is one of severe discipline. It will mean great heart-searchings, great patience, and great simplicity to be guided in this way.” (source)

“symbol? A symbol represents a spiritual truth by means of images or properties of natural things.” (source)

About Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers (1874–1917) was a prominent preacher, writer, and evangelist. He studied at The Art School in South Kensington, the University of Edinburg, and Dunoon Training School.

Chambers served as a YMCA chaplain to British Commonwealth soldiers during World War I. He also worked as a traveling speaker for the League of Prayer and as the main teacher of the Bible Training College. His preaching ministry reached Britain, America, and Japan.

Chambers’ books are mainly compilations of his messages that were transcribed by his wife, Gertrude or “Biddy” as he called her. The daily devotional My Utmost For His Highest was first published in 1927 and continues to be a best-seller. 24 essays and books, including Studies in The Sermon on Mount and Biblical Psychology, can be found in the Oswald Chambers Collection.
