The book's title comes from the idea that Christians are "born after midnight," in the sense that they are called to live in a world that is full of darkness and sin. Tozer argues that this is a unique opportunity for Christians to be a light in the darkness and to shine the love of Christ to those who are lost and hurting.The book is divided into short chapters, each one addressing a different aspect of the Christian life. Tozer covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the meaning of the cross, the importance of prayer and worship, and the need for spiritual discipline and discipleship.
