About this ebook
Will you press into heaven at the expense of earth?
It has been said that revivals are born after midnight. This is not because midnight is a magic hour—it isn’t—but because anyone truly desiring renewal doesn’t tire at seeking it.
Born After Midnight stirs us toward renewal. Be it in the realm of money, worship, worry, or prayer, A. W. Tozer applies God’s high wisdom to our everyday living to show how sin is bitter and Christ is sweet, helping us crave heaven and lose our taste for the world.
If you will take God for who He says He is, trust His promises as true, and forsake the world in clutching for heaven, it will cost you everything. But it will give you eternity. Born After Midnight invites you to seek what cannot be lost.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is just pages of gold followed by pages of more gold. Amazing the insight Tozer had into the human heart and mind, so much so that his words completely apply to us today.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Warren Wierbse says in his introduction to “The Best of A. W. Tozer,” "He was not afraid to tell us what was wrong. Nor was he hesitant to tell us how God could make it right. If a sermon can be compared to light, then A. W. Tozer released a laser beam from the pulpit, a beam that penetrated your heart, seared your conscience, exposed sin, and left you crying, “What must I do to be saved?” The answer was always the same: surrender to Christ; get to know God personally; grow to become like Him."Tozer also said to an acquaintance:“I have preached myself off of every Bible Conference platform in the country!” Because the popular crowds do not rush to hear a man whose convictions make them uncomfortable.So when somebody said to me:"It’s just too bad that the author of Born After Midnight and The Root of The Righteous [i.e. Tozer] never took Galatians 5:22-23 to heart and asked the Lord to develop the fruit of the Spirit in them. Their writings would reflected it. "I think the point is that Tozer did indeed take Galatians 5:22,23 to heart. Instead of using it as a balm for a guilty conscience he understood the underlying message as written: Those who have the Spirit of God will demonstrate the fact with deeds worthy of repentance. Christians are called to bring forth fruit, and we know what Jesus said of the tree that brought forth no fruit. Tozer’s writings are a wake up call on a par with those of Leonard Ravenhill. His book “Keys to the Deeper Life” should be compulsory reading for all Christians (it is only about thirty pages long after all). Again the point is that so much that passes for modern day Christianity would be disowned by our forefathers as carnal and ungodly. Believers take other believers to court. Believers live in immorality but are allowed to arrive each week at the communion table [or whatever your church calls it]. Christians step on each other in their rush to “the top”. Christians ignore justice and mercy, and reflect in so many ways the attitude of the world around them. To repeat Tozer’s quote: "We modern Christians are long on talk and short on conduct"We love to talk and debate, but how many of us are doing things practically in our own situations? How many of us are making a difference in our own communities, for no reward but to know that we serve our LORD? We can talk much of working out our salvation, but our Christian faith is no academic exercise, but a practical walk. This site is meant to be about "practical Christian life" and the reason is that a Christian life that is not practical is also not alive. Faith without works is dead, being alone. So let us examine ourselves and consider how we could better serve God in the family of the Church. Don’t talk about it. Do it!
