Originally published as If Ye Shall Ask, this small book on prayer comprises lectures Chambers gave at the Bible Training College in London where he focused on all aspects of prayer, from prayer's simplicity to intercessory prayer for others. He believed that prayer changes the one praying as much as prayer moves the hand of God. The foreword introduces readers to a simple man of keen insight who, regardless of who he was with or what they were doing, without warning would say, Off with yo...

This latest book of Talks, Lectures, Addresses, given by Oswald Chambers at different times and in varied circumstances—as when the New Theology was making its shallow appeal in 1909, or in the strenuous days of the Bible Training College in London, or when speaking to the soldiers in Egypt in 1917 (just before his own Home-call)—covers a wide range of religious thinking.The earlier chapters on Biblical Ethics remind us that the ultimate aim of Christ’s Atonement is that God may re...

This Book will greatly help seekers after Holiness, because it meets us on the threshold of our life in Christ and leads us along a luminous path of Scriptural teaching, to the full measure of the believer’s identification with his Risen Lord. “The candidates for sanctification are those who have the first-fruits of sanctification in the initial work of grace.” They are then shown that the secret of holiness is the imparted holiness of Jesus Christ. “What a marvellous thing sanctification ...

„Mein Äußerstes für Sein Höchstes“ ist eines der bekanntesten und meistgelesenen christlichen Andachtsbücher der Welt. Mit eindringlichen, ehrlichen und herausfordernden Worten ruft Oswald Chambers dazu auf, den Glauben nicht nur zu bekennen, sondern zu leben – kompromisslos, mutig und voller Vertrauen auf Jesus Christus. Jede Andacht führt mitten in den Alltag: dorthin, wo Entscheidungen getroffen, Zweifel überwunden und Glauben praktisch wird. Chambers’ Worte berühren, provozieren und in...

Christian Psychology is based on the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, not on the knowledge of ourselves. It is not the study of human nature analysed and expounded, but the study of the new life that is born in us through the Redemption of our Lord, and the only Standard of that new life is our Lord Himself; He is formed in us by regeneration (Galatians i. 15–16). We are apt to start with the way we are made naturally and to transfer our reasonings on that to Jesus Christ, inferring tha...

For the first time, Oswald Chambers' studies of the Major Prophets are compiled into one volume. Chambers dialogues with other Bible commentators of his day as he examines the character of God in Isaiah, God's relationship with His people in Jeremiah, and divine community in Ezekiel. This brief survey of three long Bible books features what one author has described as the "spontaneous and explosive quality" of Chambers' insights about God's chosen spokesmen and their divine messages.

When you think of Christian missions, do you envision aviators flying deep into the forests of Ecuador or doctors building hospitals in Burundi? When Oswald Chambers thought of the missionary call, he considered it first as a call to "be" and then as a call to "do." In these short devotionals drawn from My Utmost for His Highest, Chambers shows how the gospel of Jesus is the message of redemption for the whole world. We are to live as redeemed people who participate in the ongoing...

Selected and arranged by Biddy Chambers from her husband's personal diary, this collection of 365 prayers provides a unique glimpse into the spiritual life of Oswald Chambers, author of the classic devotional My Utmost for His Highes...

The first appeal was to conscience, and could be expressed in this way: “Follow Him, He is Thy supreme Lord.” The presentation of Jesus Christ always awakens that desire, the presentation of abstract ideals never does. You can present morality, good principles, the duty of loving your neighbour, and never arouse a man’s conscience to want anything; but when you present Jesus Christ, instantly there is a dumb awakening; a want to be what He would like me to be. It is not conviction of sin, ...

The question of forming habits on the basis of the grace of God is a very vital one. God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all His Divine resources, but He cannot make us walk according to His will; the practising is ours, not God’s. We have to take the initiative and “add to . . . faith virtue. . . .” To take the initiative means to make a beginning, and each one of us must do it for himself: We have to acquaint ourselves with the way we have to go; and beware of the tendency of ...
