A. W. (Aiden Wilson) Tozer was born, 4/21/1897, at Newburg, PA (newer name). Tozer was converted to Christ after hearing a street preacher in Akron, OH where Tozer worked making tires. It is said that Tozer never owned a car nor learned to drive. And that he made few pastoral calls. He did pray, preach, and publish. He and his wife Ada Cecelia (Pfautz) had six sons and a daughter. Tozer wrote some forty books among which are God Tells the Man Who Cares, Keyes to the Deeper Life, The Knowledge of the Holy, The Pursuit of God, The Root of Righteousness and Who Put Jesus on the Cross. Tozer died 5/12/63 – his grave has this simple epitaph: “A W Tozer – A Man of God.”
