In this short, shirt-pocket sized booklet, the author shows the need for what he calls balanced Christianity--that which gives sufficient attention to both the objective facts of the redemption purchased by Christ on the cross as well as the subjective apprehension and application of those facts into the daily life of the believer.
The essays in this book were originally written for the The Alliance Witness, of which Tozer was the editor. Each essay is separate unto itself, but they all center around the everyday problems that Christians have to face in the world. Tozer writes: "These essays were born in the midst of life; and while they have, as I hope, heaven in full view, they are never too far removed from the rough world where the children of God struggle and work and pray". Some consider this to be Tozer's best book! If you appreciate Tozer's other writings, you should not be without this one! Charles R. Swindoll says this is "one of my most treasured works."
