For the thirteen years that A.W. Tozer edited Alliance Life, this self-taught, Spirit-taught Pennsylvanian produced a veritable gold mine of editorials. People subscribed to the magazine just to read his incisive writing. Over the years, many of these editorials have been preserved in books, the first three of which were prepared by Tozer himself. This book was compiled by Harry Verploegh, a retired Chicago businessman who sat for thirty years under the preaching of Tozer and who became his friend and confidant.
Christianity exercised a dominant influence over the thinking four forefathers. They conceived the world as a battleground. They "believed in sin and the devil and hell as constituting one force, and... in God and righteousness and heaven as the other. How different today. People think of the world not as a battleground, but as a playground. We are not here to fight; we are here to frolic." So opens this 10th book of A. W. Tozer Alliance Life editorials. Tozer's writings, says Warren Wiersbe, "[call] us to see the real world of the spiritual that lies beyond the physical world that so ensnares us." In This World: Playground or Battleground? that prophetic voice still clearly speaks. "A 20th-century prophet" they called him even in his own lifetime. For 31 years he was pastor of Southside Alliance Church in Chicago, where he had a citywide reputation as a man of God. Concurrently, he became editor of Alliance Life, a responsibility he fulfilled until his death in 1963. His greatest legacy to the Christian world has been his.
