"Get on your knees with an outspread Bible," A. W. Tozer challenged his congregation, "and linger in the presence of God." Much has been claimed about the Bible that has obscured the true significance of Scripture for the Christian's life. But now, this teaching from renowned preacher and theologian A. W. Tozer brings clarity where there has been confusion.

Robert A. Jaffray was a citizen of no single country. From his early manhood he moved about over the face of the world—not aimlessly, but with clear intelligent purpose. He was an explorer, a pioneer, and this accounts for the gaps that will be found in this or any story of his life. He lived in too many places too far from each other to allow a closely woven biography to be written.

How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit, first published in 1952, is a collection of four sermons by preacher and writer A.W. Tozer. The series explains the Christian relationship to the Holy Spirit, who he is, and how to receive him.

To have found God and still seek Him is a love paradox, rejected by the too-easy-satisfied religious person, but justified by the offspring of the flaming heart in happy experience. This heavenly contradiction was expressed by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in a musical four-line poem that will be quickly grasped by every worshiping soul.

In the four works collected here, A.W. Tozer exhorts the faithful to develop a deeper understanding of God and a closer relationship with Him. Through prayer, meditation, study, and a close adherence to the scriptures, Tozer shows that a powerful spiritual life is available to all who seek it.

And who are they? Parents.
