The Complete Works Of Oswald Chambers Pdf
Jacinto Man
Accordance deserves this work. I use Logos ONLY for this devotional feature. If you wouldn't go to an online Bible program, why would you do so for an integrated devotional where you could (shift-control + and -) to switch from devotional to devotional, highlight, and make notes associated with. Just today I read it in Logos, it sure would be nice AND FAST in Accordance.
I have sent an email through the contact form on utmost.org asking if it is ok to make an Accordance user tool from their site and if it would be ok to upload that module to the Accordance exchange. When I hear back I'll update the form.
In regard to your request, since we already have My Utmost for His Highest on the Internet and since it is under copyright, we have chosennot to give blanket permission to others to put our publication on their sites or distribute it electronically in any form.

Because of our strong sense of stewardship concerning the material that the Lord has called us to publish, we feel the need to closely monitor the quality and accuracy (both typographically and doctrinally) of our devotional and Bible study material. The nature of electronic copies is such that we are not able to control what happens to our publications once they are copied. Therefore, these rights are notavailable and, unfortunately, we must decline your request.
However, you can provide a link to our site if you would like. That way, your readers can enjoy the materials and you won't have to duplicate the effort. Perhaps the My Utmost for His Highest banner on will be helpful.
According to Wikipedia the book was published in 1927 in England and in 1935 in the USA. I believe that does not put it in the public domain. I know that logos has an Oswald Chambers collection as well as the devotional; perhaps there is another route for the e-text.
There is a certain pride in people that causes them to give and give, but to come and accept a gift is another thing. I will give my life to martyrdom; I will dedicate my life to service I will do anything. But do not humiliate me to the level of the most hell-deserving sinner and tell me that all I have to do is accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Just wanted to bump this as My Utmost for His Highest is the most popular devotional of all time. Accordance really should have it.
I know *all* of Oswald Chambers' works are already in electronic format. I would love to see the complete set in Accordance.
Yes, I know. My hope is that Accordance will add the most popular devotional of all time so that all Accordance users can benefit.
My dream is that they add the complete work of Oswald Chambers which is already in digital form and available in other applications. When I bought his complete works in a single volume printed book, it came with a free CD containing all of his works, but it uses a [clears throat] different Bible study application--which I do not use.
Oswald Chambers was a giant. His writing are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago. I do not use many (if any) pastoral-type resources in Accordance, but the complete works of Oswald Chambers would be awesome.
Thanks

A native of Austin, when he graduated from high school in May 1962, he took a fulltime summer job in the print shop of Firm Foundation Publishing House to save up money for school. For the next half century and more, he never really left the publishing business. By the time he retired in 2013, he had been editor and publisher of dailies and weeklies in Texas and California and left a long record of service to the newspaper industry.
Jackson really began much earlier, delivering the afternoon Austin Statesman (and dreaded Sunday morning edition) on a bicycle while in junior high. In high school, he threw a route for the weekly Austin Times-Herald, where he first learned about a newspaper start-up. His quirky side was evidenced when he and a friend, both members of the high school Latin club, launched a Latin-language magazine they called Latinitas. Jackson was the one who found an Austin typesetting company willing to set Latin in hot metal. High school classmates ranged from Kinky Friedman to now-U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett.
After two years in the print shop, Jackson got a job with the Republican Party of Texas, becoming its assistant public relations director, working with such candidates as U.S. Sen. John Tower and U.S. Rep. George H.W. Bush. By this time he also was on the staff of The Daily Texan, holding a variety of jobs there until his graduation. Fellow Texan staffers included TPA's Sam Keach and Texas Monthly's Paul Burka. Somehow he also squeezed in two years in the Longhorn Band, membership in Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity and being vice president of Sigma Delta Chi professional journalism fraternity.
Jackson was hired as a reporter by the Arlington Daily News in January 1967 and was soon promoted to city editor. The following year he returned to his hometown as editor of the weekly Austin Citizen.
In 1969, he was hired by The Laredo Times, where he was city editor and acting managing editor. He won Texas APME (Associated Press Managing Editors Association) awards for his work on the Mexican border. In 1971, he was hired as managing editor of the Henderson Daily News, where he won writing awards from the North and East Texas Press Association.
He moved to the business side when he became general manager of The Austin Citizen in 1972, just as it was preparing to begin daily publication. Before that ill-fated launch, however, Bill Todd hired him as editor and general manager of the Round Rock Leader. At the age of 29, Jackson had become a newspaper publisher, a role he would continuously hold until his retirement 40 years later.
When Todd bought the Leader, it was one of only two handset weekly newspapers in Texas and had a mailing list of only a few hundred. Under Jackson's leadership it grew to become a modern twice weekly with one of the largest paid circulations in Texas. Not only did the business prosper, going through three different plant expansions, but the paper also won the Sweepstakes Award in TPA's Texas Better Newspaper Contest.
His wife Susie, who had "volunteered" to help in his projects since J-school days at the university, joined the paid staff at the Leader. In the long tradition of small-town newspapering, they raised their three children "sleeping on mail sacks" and knowing every business and civic leader in town. Over the years, Susie worked at print shops, publishing houses and neighboring newspapers as well as ones that Larry published. She served as president of the South Texas Press Association in 2004-05.
In 1984, Jackson returned to the daily side of the business, becoming editor and publisher of the Pecos Enterprise, a storied West Texas paper that won the Pulitzer Prize in 1963 for exposing the Billie Sol Estes scandal. At Pecos, Jackson won more APME awards, including the Jack Douglas Photo Sweepstakes Award. Three years later, his company moved him to Corona, Calif., as publisher of the Corona-Norco Independent, a daily paper the company had recently acquired. After he raised the paper to profitability, it was sold to the neighboring metro paper and Jackson returned to Texas. His longtime friend Fred Barbee hired him to run the Wharton Journal-Spectator, a post he would hold for the next 16 years.
In 2007, Jackson decided he would like to "do one more rodeo" and accepted the position of editor and publisher of the Fayette County Record in La Grange. Over the next six years the Record added page count, staff and paid circulation, in addition to awards from state and regional press associations. He retired in 2013, but continues to live in La Grange and write regularly for the newspaper.
The Jacksons have three children, all residing in nearby Austin. Nick Jackson is a bilingual teacher in the Austin ISD, Debbie Weems is regional vice president of an Atlanta-based healthcare corporation, and Eddie Jackson works for the Texas Department of Health Services. They have seven grandchildren.
In 1984 Jackson served the first of many terms on the TPA board of directors. He became TPA president in June 1998. Jackson also served as president of the South Texas Press Association in 1996-97. He became Texas state chair for the National Newspaper Association in 1999 and served almost continually until 2012. He became a trustee of the Texas Newspaper Foundation in 1994 and since 2006 has served as foundation president. He has been emcee of the foundation's Texas Newspaper Hall of Fame induction ceremonies each year since it started in 2007.
Jackson has been honored as Citizen of the Year in two different towns, Round Rock and Wharton, and he has been an officer or director of chambers of commerce every place he's lived since Round Rock. He's been a Rotarian since 1984, been presidents of two Rotary clubs and has been an assistant district governor four different years.
His newspaper work took him to the White House (meeting Bill Clinton there in 1999), Taiwan and Panama; earned him awards from APME, TPA, STPA, TGCPA and NETPA; created strong friendships with generations of newspaper colleagues; and allowed him to tell the stories of charming people (and quite a few scoundrels) who otherwise would never have seen their names in print.
In March 1964, Mac McKinnon got a break that would lead to his lifelong profession. He had been trained as a crash rescue specialist in the Air Force and had served in Korea before coming back to the states and assigned to Carswell Air Force Base. It turned out there were more firemen than allotted at Carswell and the command was looking to transfer people.
After initial training under Langston L. Latson, a sergeant McKinnon remembers as a great linguist, he received orders to the Department of Defense Information School in Fort Slocum, N.Y., and the rest, as they say, is history.
