Czech Description:

Nejznámější práce Oswalda Chamberse přináší soubor úvah, které jsou určeny ke krátké každodenní meditaci nad Božím slovem. Kniha je oblíbena pro autorův svěží styl i pro objevování starých i nových pokladů biblického poselství. „Je mým přáním a modlitbou, aby tato kniha posloužila čtenáři nejméně tak, jak posloužila mně. Pevně věřím, že Chambersovy úvahy budou uvítány všemi, kdo touží po důsledném následování Pána Ježíše Krista.“ (z předmluvy Otakara Vožeha) 

Oswald Chambers (24 July 1874 – 15 November 1917) was an early-twentieth-century Scottish Baptist and Holiness Movement evangelist and teacher, best known for the devotional My Utmost for His Highest.

In 1911 Chambers founded and was principal of the Bible Training College in Clapham Common, Greater London, in an "embarrassingly elegant" property that had been purchased by the Pentecostal League of Prayer. Chambers accommodated not only students of every age, education, and class but also anyone in need, believing he ought to "give to everyone who asks." "No one was ever turned away from the door and whatever the person asked for, whether money, a winter overcoat, or a meal, was given." Between 1911 and 1915, 106 resident students attended the Bible Training College, and by July 1915, forty were serving as missionaries.
