This sketch brings together two men who in most ways are very different, but who in their affinity for things spiritual are very much alike. To Tozer, the two characteristics that marked Haire as unusual was his utter devotion to prayer and his amazing spiritual penetration. A Bible college president described praying with Haire as listening to a man converse with God who knew from the Spirit's tutoring the concerns of the Father's heart and the vocabulary of the heavenlies.
By a remarkable providence this sketch of Tom Haire by A. W. Tozer brings together two men who in most ways are very much different but who in their affinity for things spiritual are very much alike. Accordingly, they have another characteristic in common: both are nonconformists, each fashioned by divine processes according to an individual pattern.
The significance of God-made men in the twentieth-century West can best be appreciated against the backdrop of our times. In this age of mass production and mass media of communication, when the stress in school and church, at least in America, is on social adjustment, the inevitable result is mediocre conformity. The product is a religious robot instead of a saint. "This world is not a friend to grace" takes on added meaning in our day, and it helps to explain why there are so few saintly Christians.

This review is from: The praying plumber of Lisburn: A sketch of God's dealings with Thomas Haire
Unbelievable. This man knew God! He was in constant communion with God. His life and his testimony provide incredible insight into the God we serve and what it means to "pray without ceasing." I hope to read this book annually, because I desire what this man had. You will too.
