God's Men - I Would Highly Recommend
Great Christian Authors
Leonard Ravenhill – (1907-1994) – With A. W. Tozer, this man is my personal favorite and rightly so.  There is no compromise in his writing.   His books are not for those whose Christianity is timid or hidden. His books are written to Christian warriors who want to move up higher with God and are never satisfied nor could ever be satisfied with anything less than absolute surrender to Christ. His best known work is Why Revival Tarries. You'll find more of his work at http://www.ravenhill.org Be blessed!
Aiden W. Tozer – (1897-1963) – This great man of God was a man of fervent and God-centered living and praying. His writing and preaching were geared toward simplicity and yet revealed a deep and abiding relationship with his Lord. The lay person can easily understand the deep things of God because his style of writing encourages it and makes it very easy. “The Knowledge of the Holy” is in my own opinion the greatest book ever written on the attributes of God, and they greatly aided my own understanding of God and built up my faith in him. For serious minded Christians!

Only one life - 'twill soon be past;
And only what's done for Christ will last.
"But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forebearing, and I could not stay." - Jeremiah 20:9b
The call to preach must be one that compells us to the point that we are not able to do otherwise.  It is a call that demands our very best in order that the message will enter into the hearts of the hearers.  There can be no half-hearted preaching because we are steering men toward or away from their chance for eternal life in Christ.  Eternity must be stamped on our hearts as we enter the pulpit....

Before we dare take up this mantle we had better have come fresh from the presence of God with words that are anointed by his Holy Spirit fire.
