Synopsis

It used to be that Christians conceived of the world as a battleground. They believed in sin and the devil and hell as constituting one force, and in God and righteousness and heaven constituting the other. How different today. People think of the world not as a battleground, but as a playground.In This World: Playground or Battleground? Tozer calls us to see the real world of the spiritual realm that lies beyond the physical that so ensnares us. The text is short and to the point, abrupt but full of vigor, profound, and downright relevant today. Take, for example, this excerpt from the first chapter: "People think of the world not as a battleground, but as a playground. We are not here to fight; we are here to frolic. . .The 'worship' growing out of such a view itself has become a sort of sanctified nightclub without champagne."

"Motive is All-Important" teaches that even if our actions bring harm to others, it is still a good act because the motive of the person is w......more

Goodreads review by Juliane

Great book! It’s a book that each chapter the author will write different things, so if you’re expecting something to study about battleground I would not recommend this book, but if you want to read a book that each chapter is different but with some deep truths that will leave you thinking about t......more
