A.W. Tozer
Philip Yancey and host Karen Wright Marsh tell the story of A.W. Tozer, the American Bible teacher whose gravestone read simply: “A Man of God.”
Thirsting after God, he literally burned the midnight oil to know the Holy One. Yet A.W. Tozer failed his wife and children in profound ways. What do we do with the broken humanity of our spiritual heroes? Award winning author Philip Yancey wrestles with the question.
Philip Yancey is an award-winning writer who addresses tough questions and explores central issues of the Christian faith. Philip has a heart for those who suffer. His honest reflections resonate deeply with people who find themselves, as Philip says, living on the borderlands of faith. He feels tremendous gratitude to make his living speaking and writing about the concerns and topics that most interest him.
