Your body needs the right amount of blood flow to keep your heart pumping, your legs moving and your brain functioning. Clearly, good circulation is critical to your existence. Over a lifetime, your veins experience a lot of wear and tear. Excess weight, sedentary lifestyles, die...tary indiscretions, pregnancy, and other factors can cause veins to swell and buldge, leak and break, while contributing to spider and varicose veins, hemorrhoids, leg ulcers, and many other vein problems. Standard tretments include lubricants, warm baths, compression stockings, laser surgery, and other less effective procedures. Real repair and maintenance, however, require mending vessel walls and strengthening and toning them to protect against future damage. A little-known bioflavonoid called ''diosmin'' has proven to to just that.

To understand the continued and far - reaching ministry of A. W. Tozer, it is important to know who he was, including his relationship with God. In The Life of A. W. Tozer, James Snyder lets us in on the life and times of a deep thinker who was not afraid to ''tell it like it is'...' and never compromised his beliefs. A. W. Tozer's spiritual legacy continues today as his writings challenge readers to a deeper relationship and worship of God in reverence and adoration. Here is Tozer's life story, from boyhood and his conversion at the age of seventeen, to his years of pastoring and writing more than 40 books, at least two regarded as Christian classics that continue to appear on best seller lists today. Examining Tozer's life allows the reader to learn from a prophet with much to say against the compromises he observed in contemporary Christian living and the hope he found in his incredible God. ''The Life of A. W. Tozer gives a behind the scenes look at the man and his message. We see God at work with hammer and chisel to shape Tozer's life into a vessel capable of influencing all who desire to walk with God. No single author has influenced me personally more than A. W. Tozer. I thank God for his influence on my life.''Gary M. Benedict, President, The Christian and Missionary Alliance
