My Utmost for His Highest - Deluxe (DELUXE CHRISTIAN CLASSICS)

"I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." So says Oswald Chambers in the first of the daily devotions in My Utmost for His Highest. This attitude of complete surrender to God pervades the work, the most popular devotional book ever published.In the words of former U. S. Senate chaplain Richard Halverson, "No other book except the Bible has influenced my walk with Christ at such deep and maturing levels." Now in a deluxe collector's edition, the value of Chambers' words of truth can be treasured for a lifetime.

Oswald Chambers, a Scotsman who converted to Christianity in his teens under the ministry of Charles Spurgeon, has been affecting Christians with his devotional words since My Utmost for His Highest was first published in 1935. This acknowledged classic contains 365 daily readings that take heady doctrine and make it practical, realistic, and intensely personal. With humor and humility, Chambers speaks plainly to the common man struggling with devotion to Christ in daily living. Worldly cares and self-serving desires begin to lose their appeal as Chambers aides the reader in transforming his mind by viewing life through the instruction of God's Word. Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate, attests to this: "no book except the Bible has influenced my walk with Christ at such deep maturing levels." This is Chambers's chief desire, directing the reader to "shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only--My Utmost for His Highest... determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." --Jill Heatherly

Rather than maintain their own warehouses and haulage fleets, many supermarkets and High Street retailers prefer to employ specialist contractors. The Tesco or Dixons lorries you see on the motorway probably belong to a "logistics" company such as Excel or Tibbett & Britten, which have "dedicated" fleets specially painted for their clients. The client supermarket is then free ...so the reasoning runs... to concentrate on its "core business". I apologise for all these dissociative inverted commas, but this is a jargon-ridden industry.
The arrangement is not necessarily good for employees. The client always has the whip-hand, and the contractor lives in terror of losing the contract. The contractor accordingly avoids making himself unpopular with the client by bringing to the client's attention anything it may not wish to hear about, especially if it involves additional expenditure. Worn out equipment is not replaced, improvements are not undertaken, repairs are not made, nothing gets better. The canteen becomes too small for the number of staff and most of them spend their lunch breaks sitting glumly in their cars. Most firms have long since ceased to provide a canteen serving freshly prepared food. Vending machines and microwave ovens are substituted.
The contractors have usually undertaken to do the job for an agreed sum. The client drip-feeds it to the contractor in monthly instalments and leaves him to spend it as required. Managers know that best way of pleasing their superiors is to come in under budget ...i.e. to get the job done for less than the sum they've been given to do it. The saving is clear profit for the contractor. Messrs Damage & Sendit are pastmasters at this kind of wheeze. The office cleaners have been cut down from morning and afternoon to afternoon only. Saturday is a slack day and with the air of someone granting an over-generous concession against their better judgement, the firm allows its staff to go home early if the work is completed ...unpaid that is. Every week a notice goes up detailing the amount spent on employing agency staff to cover for sickness. This is a falsification since the amount saved by not paying the people who are out sick is not deducted from the figure shown. The saving made by sending everyone home three hours early every Saturday is never mentioned of course. The company tries not to award sick pay ...technically a concession rather than an entitlement... by waiting for the employee to claim it. Those who make such claims meet such a stonewall of delay and obstructiveness that they often give up and don't try again.
But still, it could be worse. Yesterday I heard of a certain "budget" supermarket which employs people on a 20-hours-per-week contract. Oh, they get 40 hours work; the other 20 is overtime. The scam is that the company need only grant half the normal holiday entitlement. But 20 hours is paid at overtime rate every week, right? Well, actually, no, just at normal time. Of course there is now a virtually botomless supply of "economic migrants" who will jump at jobs like this.
Here we see an unaccustomed state of order and tidyness outside Damage & Sendit's warehouse. Inside, our "hygiene" operative was sweeping behind the rubbish-trap metal skirtings which protect the walls from impact by forklift truck. Then I understood ...a deputation of high-ups from the client company were coming round on a tour of inspection the next day.
