My Utmost For His Highest
for the iphone
UPDATE: 02/11/2010 - we have discovered a nasty bug in the 1.5 update we sent to Apple. Unfortunately this is causing the app to immediately crash upon launch. The quick fix for this is to delete the app and then reinstall it. However, we just sent Apple a new update (v1.5.1) and this will fix the issue if you don't mind waiting. Typically updates take about a five days to get approved. We are so sorry for the inconvience.
About Oswald Chambers, and My Utmost for His Highest
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish minister and teacher. He became a Christian through the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon in his teens. Afterstudying theology, he opened the Bible Training College in London, where he gave talks during the Devotional Hour. Later, he gave evening devotionals as a YMCA chaplain in Egypt, where he died in 1917 from a ruptured appendix.
His wife collected his teachings from his talks into a daily devotional format, and wrote a foreward. This text, in the original English, has become the best-known Christian devotional in the English language.
FOREWORD (by Oswald Chambers' wife)
These daily readings have been selected from various sources, chiefly from the lectures given at the Bible Training College, Clapham, during the years 1911-1915; then, from October 1915 to November 1917, from talks given night by night in the Y.M.C.A. Huts, Zeitoun, Egypt. In November 1917 my husband entered into God's presence. Since then many of the talks have been published in book form, and others from which these readings have been gathered will also be published in due course.
A large proportion of the readings have been chosen from the talks given during the Devotional Hour at the College - an hour which for many of the students marked an epoch in their life with God.
"Men return again and again to the few who have mastered the spiritual secret, whose life has been hid with Christ in God. These are of the old time religion, hung to the nails of the Cross." (Robert Murray McCheyne.)
It is because it is felt that the author is one to whose teaching men will return, that this book has been prepared, and it is sent out with the prayer that day by day the messages may continue to bring the quickening life and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
