The Christian Book of Mystical Verse

The Christian Book of Mystical Verse
A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) was a self-educated pastor. He first heard the call to Christianity as a teen, when he heard a street preacher say, "If you don't know how to be saved ... just call on God, saying 'Lord be merciful to me a sinner.'" Tozer heeded the call, and began a life dedicated to Christ.
Calling on God became a cornerstone of his faith. He had an intensely personal relationship with God, and was seen to pray in his office for hours at a time, sometimes on his couch and sometimes prostrate on the floor. As a pastor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance, he spent his career preaching Biblical doctrine, advocating that his congregants turn away from worldliness and toward the fundamentals of the faith.
It may seem odd to find a fundamentalist like Tozer use the word "mystical" in the title of his collection. But in his introduction, he differentiates the Christian mystic from those with "a strong psychic bent that predisposes them toward the occult ... ready to accept whatever in the realm of religion is bizarre and prodigious."
Rather, the mystic of Tozer's collection had experienced "... that personal spiritual experience common to the saints of Bible times and well known to multitudes of persons in the post-Biblical era. I refer to the evangelical mystic who has been brought by the gospel into intimate fellowship with the Godhead." Those he identified as mystics include clergy and pastors, hymn writers, poets, reformers, and others. They span different denominations of Christianity, from French Roman Catholics to German Calvinists to American Baptists.
To Tozer, the mystical is God-oriented. The poems in his collection "...begin with God, embrace the worshipping soul and return to God again." While these verses are not from the scriptures, one can trust that they are fully supported by the Biblical text. A fundamentalist like Tozer would not include any hymn or prayer that was not theologically sound and supported by the source material.
There are 111 verses and hymns included in this collection, divided into 15 logical sections: Adoration of the Godhead Devotional Meditations on the Cross of Christ Penitential R
