Summary: Chambers' books in one volume + bonus material + CD-ROM !!!
Review: "My Utmost for His Highest" truly is one of the best-selling christian devotional books of all time. Yet many who have personally benefited from that popular daily devotional have yet to be introduced to the rest of Oswald Chambers' (1874-1917) work. Mr. Chambers' incisive teaching and invigorating style can be discovered on the pages of such books as "Biblical Psychology", "The Psychology of Redemption", "God's Workmanship", "If Ye Shall Ask", "So Send I You", and "Studies in the Sermon on the Mount" - more than 40 titles in all!
Now for the first time readers can own the entire Oswald Chambers' library in one volume, plus a CD-ROM version of the print edition (!). Also included in the CD-ROM is David McCasland's inspiring biography, "Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God" (McCasland has also written a biography of Scottish missionary and Olympic champion Eric Liddell, known from "Chariots of Fire").
The Complete Works offer these exciting new features:
- Fully searchable CD-ROM with the complete text
- Helpful new footnotes by biographer McCasland
- Previously unpublished material on Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel
- General index of people, places, and terms
- Historical background for each book
The CD-ROM features:
- The Complete Works
- Links to all footnotes and Scripture references
- Complete text of the Authorized (King James) Version of the Scriptures
- Full text of the biography "Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God"
- Photos from "Abandoned to God"
- Video interview with Kathleen Chambers, only child of Oswald and Biddy Chambers
Few individuals have had the spiritual insight into the Person of Jesus Christ as Oswald Chambers, and fewer still have been able to make its application so inescapable. If others knew something about Christ from hearsay, Chambers knew Christ on a daily basis, personally in a spiritual way. An invaluable volume of spiriual wisdom, worth every cent of its price. A must buy.

Summary: A chance to mature & grow
Review: Besides the things you have already heard, which are true, the CD is awesome (the entire bible, cross references, all of oswald's written works, the way it is set up so you can save your workspace...). I really want to encourage any Christian who wants to grow in their walk with Christ to get this book. Oswald Chambers was a man annointed with the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Paul. This book is not an accessory, it's crucial for every maturing Christian. It will challenge, enlighten, and bring closer to God anyone the Spirit leads to open it's pages. At least do yourself a favor and purchase "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald without hesitation, it's ... on Amazon and it's a devotional that will challenge you daily. (I use the word challenge because like Paul, Oswald doesn't always inspire happy feelings, the Spirit was using him to inspire growth in Christ). I don't know what else to say, but buy Oswald as soon as you can...

Summary: An Amazing Find.
Review: Every once in a while a volume gives you everything you could ask. This is one. Whether you are an old friend of OC or just making his acquaintance, you will find his special touch here. No one I know of can give the emphasis to the Person of Jesus that Chambers can. Just when you think your purchase of the book was one of the best you've ever made, you find the CD-ROM in back. It is worth the price by itself. Install it on your hard disk and spend a few minutes on the search mechanism and you will have an amazing facility to mine the writings of OC in a new way. Just excellent.

Summary: I Can't Add Anything to Martha Volchok's Review
Review: First off the book itself is of textbook quality. It's got 1300 pages, but it's very easy to flip through. Plus! it comes with a CD ROM that contains the Complete Works... and more. I would have paid double for the CD. Oswald Chambers is one of the most mature Christians in written word you'll come up against. As with all words spoken from God through man, the Holy Spirit Himself will challenge and convict you, and fill you up!

Summary: Absolutely Amazing
Review: I've only had this book an hour or so, and am totally thrilled. I was only familiar with Chambers via "My Utmost for His Highest", and hadn't even read all of that.I can't recommend this book highly enough. GET IT! Be warned, however, of two things: (1) Don't think of all of his writings as purely devotional, like the mushy feel-good stuff coming out from so many authors now. There is real meat here. (2) Chambers was not afraid to use words of more than one syllable! This book can be an intellectual challenge, as well as a spiritual one. I'll end with two quotes on prayer(BTW, the included CD makes it very easy to copy and paste passages like this). I love his phrase "worship of prayer", as opposed to "prayer of worship": From page 306: How many cease from praying by indiscernible, unconscious ways! They are not those who because of intellectual barriers have determined on prayerlessness, or who have abandoned praying in favour of a cherished sin, but those who have ceased praying by more indecipherable ways. The life of God in us is manifested by spiritual concentration, not by pious self-consciousness; pious self-consciousness produces the worship of prayer, which is anti-Christian. This unscriptural piety fixes itself on the actual incidents in such verses as Mark 1:35-"And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed," and disproportionately emphasises "rising up a great while before day," implying that if this actual early rising were imitated it would produce Christ-likeness in us; whereas our Lord prayed because He was concentrated on God; that is, He did not worship prayer. And from page 307: There is a quietism of devotional self-indulgence which takes the place spiritually that loafing does socially. It is easy to call it meditative prayer, but meditation is only attained in actual life by the strenuous discipline of brooding in the centre of a subject.

Summary: at last, every work Oswald Chambers ever wrote!
Review: If you are a fan of Oswald Chambers, you will definetly welcome his complete works. If you have never read Oswald Chambers, welcome to one of the clearest voices as to the real message of Christ. OC, as his admirers refer to Oswald Chambers, draws you into the heart of Christ without you ever being aware that OC's own words have led you there. In every word that he writes, his only aim is to connect you with Christ, yet he does so in the most cogent and clear reasoning. Although I already have most of his works, it was great to pick up a few I have never been able to find; mainly the "Psychology of Redeemption" and the "Philosophy of Sin". High sounding words, but don't worry...all roads of Oswald Chambers lead only to Christ and in today's world that is roadmap to be treasured. The physical layout of the complete works enabled me to see something I missed in his individual books; namely, to catch his outline at a glance as kind of a sneak preview to the context of his words. Wonder what did Christ really mean? Read the Complete Works of Oswald Chambers and every question will be answered in a way that not only your mind will grasp, but your soul will be fed as well. This book could well be subtitled, The Guidebook to the Life and Teachings of Christ for the Modern Day. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Summary: Excellent Collection
Review: If you have read Oswald Chambers then you know he was a man that had a keen insight into the heart and mind of God. This definitive collection of his works is a must have. If you haven't read Oswald Chambers then save yourself the trouble of buying book after book and buy his complete works for a very reasonable price.
