About “My Utmost for His Highest”
My Utmost for His Highest is a daily Christian devotional written by Oswald Chambers, who preached to students and soldiers. His wife self-published the book with Alden in Oxford around 1924, and it was later commercially published by Simpkin & Marshall in 1927. The book was first released in America by Dodd, Mead, & Co. in 1935. The copyright was renewed in 1963 by the Oswald Chambers Publications Association, Ltd. A revised edition, translated into modern language, was edited by James Reimann and has been available in various formats since 1992. This edition uses the New King James Version of the Bible and has expanded into a series of devotional products. The title comes from a sermon by Chambers, in which he urged readers to focus entirely on God. The book is among the most popular religious works, influencing figures like Cal Thomas and George W. Bush. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
