Wingspread A.B.Simpson by A.W.Tozer

sermonindex Apr 13, 2006

I've just finished reading this fantastic and encouraging book on the life of A.B.Simpson by Tozer. I've had it on my shelf for some time but was very much led to read it. I had no idea who A.B.Simpson was and what he did when i picked up the book but still was led to it anyhow. With 'bootcamp' coming up in May i couldn't believe what it was about and was so encouraged. Has anyone else read this book? If not i do reccommend it as it would encourage you im sure.I'll quote a passage here;"A.B.Simpson was in His glory. He was seeing Christian democracy at it's simple best. No social lines seperated his people from each other. His members came from every level of human society from the gutter to the penthouse. Any Saturday night "a brother of low degree might be seen standing on a street corner giving his testimony while a well-to-do and cultured believer stood beside him holding his hat while he talked.It was a free church in the fullest sense of the word. The old irritating conservatism that used to block so many of his plans was gone. Gone were the paralyzing traditions that had stopped his best efforts for so many years.........The stranger and the poor were recieved with open arms."

Hi Geraldine,

Went digging back into the forums again and came across this. Wondering, how did 'boot camp' go?
