Tozer himself compiled this collection. One essay, We Need Men of God Again sums up the point of this work "We languish for men who feel themselves expendable in the warfare of the soul."
The late Dr. A. W. Tozer was well known in evangelical circles both for his long and fruitful editorship of the Alliance Witness as well as his pastorate of one of the largest Alliance churches in the Chicago area. He came to be known as the Prophet of Today because of his penetrating books on the deeper spiritual life.
