Do you know any Tozer "like" authors?

Just wondering if anyone knew any authors that reminded them of A.W. Tozer...in subject that is.

Nope.

I was filled with the Holy Ghost and converted (Hallelujah!) while listening to one of his sermons.

I've read many articles and listened to many sermons by many other preachers of other denominations and I've never found anyone who explains spiritual mysteries in a way the everyman can understand like Tozer could.

But each man has his individual calling, his particular gifts, his peculiar weaknesses, with which to preach the Word of God.

"And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new." (LEV 26:10)

"Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old." (MATT 13:52)

Paris Reidhead has a unique way of taking on the personas of Biblical characters, and telling their stories from their perspectives, that tugs on my heartstrings and evokes an immense sense of the Love of Christ.

David Legge loudly and passionately expresses the imminency of the Kingdom and the need for repentence and salvation NOW!

Paul Washer shocks the congregation with the "rod of correction" and then comforts the penitent with the promises of the Gospel.

Jackie Pullinger relates experiences she encountered during her missionary work among the poor and disadvantaged and lets our conscience, and the Holy Ghost, do the rest.

"And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh." (JUDE 1:22-23)

A.W. Tozer seemed to be a sort of Christian mystic. He was able to explain profound spiritual truths to the everyman because he spent so much time on his knees in the kingdom - and, I assume, brought back whatever he heard while there. I've heard him a little angry, but I've never heard him shout (like Legge), or cry (like Reidhead), or shock and repair (like Washer). He had a method all his own.

I've been truly blessed by his writings and his sermons. I'm glad he came at a time when his sermons could be recorded.
