Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was born July 24, 1874, in Aberdeen, Scotland. Converted in his teen years under the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, he studied art and archaeology at the University of Edinburgh before answering a call from God to the Christian ministry. He then studied theology at Dunoon College. From 1906-1910 he conducted an itinerant Bible-teaching ministry in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

In 1910, Chambers married Gertrude Hobbs. They had one daughter, Kathleen.

In 1911 he founded and became principal of the Bible Training College in Clapham, London, where he lectured until the school was closed in 1915 because of World War I. In October 1915 he sailed for Zeitoun, Egypt (near Cairo), where he ministered to troops from Australia and New Zealand as a YMCA chaplain. He died there November 15, 1917, following surgery for a ruptured appendix.

Although Oswald Chambers wrote only one book, Baffled to Fight Better, more than thirty titles bear his name. With this one exception, published works were compiled by Mrs. Chambers, a court stenographer, from her verbatim shorthand notes of his messages taken during their seven years of marriage. For half a century following her husband's death she labored to give his words to the world.

My Utmost For His Highest, his best-known book, has been continuously in print in the United States since 1935 and remains in the top ten titles of the religious book bestseller list with millions of copies in print. It has become a Christian classic.

@stack45ny Again, I wanted to say for God's glory, that these videos have benefitted me tremendously. Just precious as it relates to my redemption and sanctification. Oswald Chambers is one that certainly speaks directly to me, clarifying my position and the state of my walk as a believer in Christ. It really is amazing and only the wisdom from God can be so deep, pure, true, and unfailing.

[stack45ny]

@IMSurrenderedtoGod To hear that you have been so blessed brings me much joy, my friend. Regarding your statement, "...only the wisdom from God can be so deep, pure, true, and unfailing"...I couldn't agree more. To God be the glory...praise His Holy Name.

@HermitintheRain ..to understand what is the miracle of his grace. the disillusionment i had about God was through the imaginations of man-including my own. but by God's grace, he according to his skill as the Master Potter, had, and is continuing to shape in me the understanding of who he truly is-and not who we invent him to be out of the imaginations of our own hearts and minds. Though I was raised on it and schooled in it, in recent years the Bible has become new and living by his grace.

[HermitintheRain]

oh how I have been made to know this intimately. i have been made to know the disillusionment from both sides. nearly 20 years ago i fell into the disillusionment of family, friends, church, country and God. it would take another 10 years after that until the final disillusionment-of my own self-would be revealed. for years after that i was left to wander in the bitterness of my own disillusions, until the Lord opened my heart-and didn't take away the disillusions-but made me to finally..
