Write for Christ

I don’t know about you, but for me, it is very hard to resist a secondhand bookstore! I love the possibility of finding a rare or out-of-print treasure to add to my ever-growing collection of books. One such a treasure caught my attention on the crowded shelf of a charming little bookstore located in a small coastal village. It was My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers. Chambers was born in 1874, in Scotland, and was converted to Christianity under the ministry of another great legend, Charles Spurgeon. With his exceptional mind and an intense love for Jesus Christ and for people, Oswald Chambers had conducted several outstanding Bible teaching ministries in the USA, UK and Japan. He also ministered as a YMCA chaplain to Australian and New Zealand troops in Egypt during World War I. Although more than thirty titles bear his name, My Utmost for His Highest remained his best-known book. What a find! True to his reputation, and not disappointing my expectations
