Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God: The Life Story of the Author of My Utmost for His Highest by David McCasland
The only thing one can say after reading a book like this is: I wish I knew Christ like Oswald Chambers seems to have done. What a faith and what a life. He was kind of like an intellectual Keith Green who said, "I refuse to worry" because his life was truly hid in Christ. And like Keith Green, he was a part of what is loosely referred to as the Holiness Movement except Chambers was in at the beginning. Oswald Chambers said “I feel I shall be buried for a time, hidden away in obscurity; then suddenly I shall flame out, do my work and be gone.” His statement was prophetic, except that the divine flame is burning brighter than ever thanks to the printed page. A friend once introduced him as “the apostle of the haphazard” and like the wind Jesus mentions in John 3:8, Chamber’s life appears erratic, but there seemed to be an angel in the whirlwind guiding him to where he was needed and he was used mightily by the Lord.
He is the posthumous author of over fifty books of which My Utmost for His Highest is the best known. His wife earned her living as a stenographer before their marriage. She could take verbatim notes in shorthand a

The Dead White Man Who Could Fix Our Race Problem:Oswald Chambers
As a black woman wrestling with racism in America, I lean on a Scottish theologian’s four key insights.
PATRICIA RAYBON | POSTED NOVEMBER 21, 2017
Oswald Chambers didn’t know Lecrae and John Piper. Or your church leader or mine. He didn’t know about tensions today between white evangelicals and black evangelicals. Or between Democrats and Republicans, left and right. Even if he did, he’d still say the same thing:
“If your life is producing a whine, instead of the wine, then ruthlessly kick it out.”
That’s classic Oswald Chambers—more direct than diplomatic. More practical than politically on-point. The 20th-century Scottish evangelist and theologian known for the best-selling devotional, My Utmost for His Highest, writes with raw clarity and common sense wisdom that, according to biographer David McCasland, “makes you feel like he’s reading your mail.”
What, then, would Chambers say to believers on the 100th anniversary of his death this month about the never-settled, twisty knot of race in America—the whole mess of it, from church politics to racial infights, alt-right marchers to kneeling fo
