Description

Over thirty books continue in print under the name of Oswald Chambers, yet he only set out one manuscript! His Bible studies were not the outcome of a cloistered scholar’s bookish study-the poignant comments, based on his reading of the Scripture, were delivered as practical addresses to soldiers and young men in college. His wife’s shorthand notes of the talks were later published and have been in continuous demand ever since.
These studies deal with the ethics of the Christian life and its psychology. Chapters headed: Habit, Behaviour, Direction of the Will, What to Think About, are full of practical ‘down to earth’ guidance for the day by day living of the Christian life.

Oswald Chambers was converted in his teen years by the ministry of Charles Spurgeon. Chambers studied art and archaeology before answering the call to Christian ministry. Author of the bestseller My Utmost for His Highest, Chambers has more than thirty other titles to his credit, all but one compiled by his wife, Gertrude.

Préface

I see sometimes in London the preparations being made for the sure foundations of one of the great modern buildings to be erected there. Far below the surface-level men and machines toil patiently on work which soon will be hidden, but which alone will make the towering building secure. These Talks on Moral Foundations take us to that depth below the surface of our everyday life where the foundations are laid for enduring sainthood. They deal profoundly with such matters as Habit, Thinking, the Will, Behaviour. The subject of Christian ethical obligation is of paramount importance in the thought life of to-day. The very basis of our religion, our moral and spiritual standing, is being challenged. Here will be found a valiant answer to the secular, sceptical and lawless questionings of our time.

The writer was one of God’s saints; and also one of those sane Christian thinkers who see into the deep places of our strange, perplexing yet alluring human life. Already the chapters have proved their worth as articles in the B.T.C Journal. Now in this compact form they will serve for hours of instruction in righteousness as they illumine these dim regions of the soul in the blazing light of Holy Scripture.
