The Size of the Soul: Principles of Revival and Spiritual Growth

by A W Tozer, Harry Verploegh (Compiler)

Overview

"Any tiny work that God has ever done through me and through my ministry for Him dates back to that hour when I was filled with the Spirit. That is why I plead for the spiritual life of the Body of Christ and the eternal ministries of the Eternal Spirit through God's children—His instruments." — A. W. Tozer

The Size of the Soul is a collection of editorials by A. W. Tozer, written while he was the editor of Alliance Life.

In this 12th book of editorials, Tozer covers topics like:

• Steps to revival
• The needed reformation
• The Christian's hope

About the Author

A. W. Tozer (1897–1963) began his lifelong pursuit of God after hearing a street preacher in Akron, Ohio, at the age of seventeen. The self-taught theologian committed his life to the ministry of God’s Word as a pastor, teacher, and writer. For his flowing prose, Spirit-filled words, and deep conviction, many have called him a modern-day prophet. He is the author of the beloved classic The Pursuit of God and dozens of other works.
