The Dangers of a Shallow Faith: Awakening from Spiritual Lethargy, edited by James L. Snyder and published in 2012, compiles previously unpublished teaching in which Tozer warns believers against spiritual lethargy, living for God on autopilot. He urges Christians to know the times they live in, to stand against spiritual and moral slumber and to stay awake amid temptation and distraction.
