Over a thousand students have participated in these activities and as a result have become competent speakers while having fun
Read what students who take Dr Akils classes say about his methods:
Dr Akil is a great teacher I was worried I would not make it through this class because I have anxiety and do not like speaking in front of people He made it easier for me to speak in front of others For that I am grateful
One of the best classes I ever had in three semesters At first I was afraid of public speaking because I am not so used to speaking in front of large groups of people but after taking Dr Akils class I actually enjoy it and now I feel like talking everyday with new people and asking questions more often to others instructors which I never did before taking this class
Dr Akil's way of teaching public speaking made me feel more comfortable speaking in front of others The concepts and things learned in class taught me that there was a whole lot more to presenting an effective speech
At the beginning of course I was so scared about being in a speech class I was dreading it But he definitely took away all the anxiety I had about giving a speech and made the people in my class feel really comfortable with each other I recommended him to a lot of people :
Dr Akil is absolutely an awesome teacher and I would recommend him for anyone Keep up the good work

OVERVIEW
Aiden Wilson Tozer (April 21 1897 - May 12 1963) was an American Christian pastor preacher author magazine editor Bible conference speaker and spiritual mentor Hailing from a tiny farming community in western La Jose Pennsylvania his conversion was as a teenager in Akron Ohio While on his way home from work at a tire company he overheard a street preacher say: "If you don't know how to be saved just call on God" Upon returning home he climbed into the attic and heeded the preachers advice
In 1919 five years after his conversion and without formal theological training Tozer accepted an offer to pastor his first church This began 44 years of ministry associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) a Protestant evangelical denomination; 33 of those years were served as a pastor in a number of churches His first pastorate was in a small storefront church in Nutter Fort West Virginia Tozer also served as pastor for 30 years at Southside Alliance Church in Chicago (1928 to 1959) and the final years of his life were spent as pastor of Avenue Road Church in Toronto Canada
Among the more than 40 books that he authored at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy His books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God
Living a simple and non-materialistic lifestyle he and his wife Ada Cecelia Pfautz never owned a car preferring bus and train travel
Prayer was of vital personal importance for Tozer "His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life" comments his biographer James L Snyder in the book In Pursuit of God: The Life Of AW Tozer "He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them" writes Snyder

EXCERPT
Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do do all to the glory of GodI Cor 10:31
One of the greatest hindrances to internal peace which the Christian encounters is the common habit of dividing our lives into two areas the sacred and the secular As these areas are conceived to exist apart from each other and to be morally and spiritually incompatible and as we are compelled by the necessities of living to be always crossing back and forth from the one to the other our inner lives tend to break up so that we live a divided instead of a unified life
Our trouble springs from the fact that we who follow Christ inhabit at once two worlds the spiritual and the natural As children of Adam we live our lives on earth subject to the limitations of the flesh and the weaknesses and ills to which human nature is heir Merely to live among men requires of us years of hard toil and much care and attention to the things of this world In sharp contrast to this is our life in the Spirit There we enjoy another and higher kind of life; we are children of God; we possess heavenly status and enjoy intimate fellowship with Christ
This tends to divide our total life into two departments We come unconsciously to recognize two sets of actions The first are performed with a feeling of satisfaction and a firm assurance that they are pleasing to God These are the sacred acts and they are usually thought to be prayer Bible reading hymn singing church attendance and such other acts as spring directly from faith
