If You Will Ask
Reflections On The Power Of Prayer
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
"Prayer changes things."
While this familiar phrase holds an element of truth, prayer is about so much more than asking God to give us the job, help us sell the house, or heal us from sickness. It changes things, yes, but more importantly, it changes us.
That's the premise of If You Will Ask, a collection of teachings on prayer from bestselling author and Bible teacher Oswald Chambers. This short book packs a punch, exploring how this vital spiritual discipline is less about getting what you want and more about getting to know the God of the universe.
Each chapter ends with a prayer taken directly from Chambers' prayer journals and lectures at the Bible Training College in London.
Prayer aligns our hearts with God's and nourishes our life in Him. Take your next step toward a richer, more vibrant prayer life.

Our Brilliant Heritage / If You Will Be Perfect / Disciples Indeed
The Inheritance Of God's Transforming Mind & Heart
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
God has entrusted humanity with His Word and He intends to demonstrate His character through His disciples. When our minds are focused on God and we are growing in the realization of the purity of Christ's heart and His wonderful strength and power, we will find that that same characteristic is being worked out in us. In this three-in-one-volume, Oswald Chambers writes, 'Sanctification must be the direct gift of God by means of the instrument of the most earnest, intense, and personal faith.' Chambers says no one can acheive sanctification; we must inherit and appropriate it through a vital relationship with God through Christ.

Bringing Sons Unto Glory
Studies In The Life Of Our Lord
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
"The life of a Christian is stamped by a strong family likeness to Jesus," says Oswald Chambers. But what does it look like for Christians to bear this "family likeness"? In Bringing Sons unto Glory, Chambers examines the four Gospel accounts to draw a portrait of Jesus Christ, asking what exactly His bodily incarnation means for us today. When we gaze on His sacred personality, we can, as the apostle Peter writes, participate in his divine nature-and understand more clearly the life of discipleship.
The Psychology of Redemption
Making All Things New
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
"Christian psychology is not a knowledge of man, but a knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." Oswald Chambers begins The Psychology of Redemption with these bold words, challenging us to take the perfect life of Jesus Christ as our model for holy character development.

By drawing parallels between the life of Christ and the Christian's life of faith, Chambers teaches us how to "have the mind of Christ."

He Shall Glorify Me
Talks On The Holy Spirit And Other Themes

Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series

Called of God
Extracts From My Utmost For His Highest On The Missionary Call
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
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 work of redemption-which is the heart of Christian missions.

Approved Unto God / Facing Reality
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
Effective Christian ministry requires more than studying the right books, believing the right things, or giving the right answers. Oswald Chambers explains how God's workers need unity-of heart, soul, strength, and mind. Each of us needs to be brought, by God's grace and by personal choice, into a harmoniously working whole. In Approved Unto God, Chambers insists equally on spiritual fitness, upright mentality, and intellectual discipline as he encourages those serving in Christian ministry. Facing Reality, a companion piece, examines the process of belief and the importance of right belief for Christian ministry.
Biblical Ethics / The Moral Foundations of Life / The Philosophy of Sin
Ethical Principles For The Christian Life
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
Oswald Chambers was, above all else, a teacher of spiritual truths. Now, in this 3-in-1 volume, you have timeless counsel for today's Christians from the author of the classic devotional My Utmost for His Highest.
In BIBLICAL ETHICS you'll be reminded that the ultimate aim of Christ's atonement is that God may readjust humanity to Himself. This calls for a moral response on our part, involving thought, feeling, and will that flesh out the ethical principles of the Christian faith.
THE MORAL FOUNDATIONS OF LIFE takes you deep below the surface of everyday life where the foundations for the faith-filled life are laid. Chambers' instruction in righteousness sheds the blazing light of Scripture on the dim regions of the soul.
In THE PHILOSOPHY OF SIN, Chambers helps you understand what is wrong with humanity. Sin breaks hearts, spoils lives, and crushes human potential. And sin can only be put right through Christ's atonement, which makes possible human repentance and appropriation of faith.
"I have found in this book some of the most arresting truths I have yet met with." – From the Foreword by David Lambert

Not Knowing Whither
The Steps Of Abraham's Faith
Part of the Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications series
God's friend-that's what the book of James calls Abraham, the father of the Israelite nation. Friendships take time, trust, and sacrifice, and in this insightful study Oswald Chambers examines each step of Abraham's faith-journey toward intimate friendship with his creator. Chambers shows us how this great pioneer of faith reacted to God's call, the claims of companions, clashing circumstances, and the terrific cost of God's friendship. Not Knowing Whither asks Christians today to look each faith challenge in the eye-to face the unknown-and pursue friendship with God.
