Books with author Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers brings you a simple approach to prayer. It has little to do with getting what you need from God—and everything to do with God getting what He needs from you.In this refreshing approach to this important biblical principle, If You Will Ask helps you discover that prayer is intimate communication intended to bring the bride alongside her Bridegroom.By the author of My Utmost for His Highest.

Open any social media site or turn on the TV, and you come face-to-face with suffering: wars, cultural upheaval, the daily hurts and tragedies of life. Suffering can be overwhelming, so how do we meet it with Christian character and conduct? Oswald Chambers was no stranger to suffering, nor were the World War I soldiers who were the original audience of these talks. In his direct and searching style, Chambers shows us how we can stand with Jesus Christ in our suffering, because He first suffered for us. It is the shadow of agony that leads us to the mystery of redemption.

From the best-selling author of My Utmost for His Highest, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount is a grace-filled exposition of Matthew 5-7. Much has been written about these 3 chapters of the New Testament, but Chambers' insightful and theologically rich treatment of the text is both challenging and refreshing. “If Jesus is only a Teacher, then all He can do is to tantalize us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if we know Him first as Savior, by being born again from above, we know that He did not come to teach us only: He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us. The Sermon on the Mount must produce despair in the natural man; and that is the very thing Jesus means it to do, because immediately we get to despair we are willing to come to Jesus as paupers and to receive from Him. “Blessed are the poor in spirit”—that is the first principle of the Kingdom. So long as we have a conceited, self-righteous notion that we can do the thing if God will help us, God has to allow us to go on until we break the neck of our ignorance over some obstacle, then we are willing to come and receive from Him. The bedrock in Jesus Christ’s Kingdom is poverty, not possession; not decisions for Jesus Christ, but a sense of absolute futility—“I cannot begin to do it.” Then, says Jesus, “Blessed are you.” That is the entrance, and it does take us a long while to believe we are poor. The knowledge of our own poverty brings us to the moral frontier where Jesus Christ works.”

Much has been written about the Sermon on the Mount, but Oswald Chambers’ unique way of explaining these teachings will give us eyes to see so much more than just rules or ideas or goals. Chambers ushers us into the mind-set that our relationship with God comes first, and then Christlike character and desires will follow. Through this book, you can better understand Jesus’ teachings on how to honor Him and what “living” really means.

According to Jesus, they were to be blessed in every condition which from earliest childhood they had been taught to regard as a curse. Our Lord was talking to Jews, and they believed that the sign of the blessing of God was material prosperity in every shape and fODn, and yet Jesus says -Blessed are you for exactly the opposite.
