Description
If you have a deep hunger for God, there is no better book for you than A. W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God. It is a timeless classic. He literally wrote it on his knees. Some books can be enjoyed with one reading, but this book is enhanced by many readings. It's a book that you will read again and again and never tire. James L. Snyder confesses to having read it twenty times or more! Every sentence is weighted--you will find no wasted words. If you are part of the fellowship of the burning heart, you will weep and worship as you slowly work your way through these blessed pages.
The Pursuit of God has sold more copies than any other book by A. W. Tozer, and for good reason. This collection of deeply challenging essays on the interior life breathes the very atmosphere of heaven. The desire to worship God and to inspire others to a deeper awareness of God are clearly evident in The Pursuit of God.
"Tozer's walk with God was a priority with him and he allowed nothing to interfere. It was the basis of his attraction to the Christian mystics. Their absorption in the daily practice of the presence of God was a stimulus for him and he delighted in their spiritual fellowship. He could forgive anyone almost anything if he discovered they had pure intent toward God.
"Dr. Tozer's prayer life was quite remarkable. His regular habit was to sprawl on his study floor, facedown, and worship God. Often, according to his own testimony, he would lie in silent, wordless worship of God, usually oblivious to his surroundings. Such prayer and worship marked the foundation of his study and preparation for public ministry." --From the Foreword by Rev. James L. Snyder
"A. W. Tozer educated himself by years of diligent study and a constant prayerful seeking of the mind of God. With Tozer, seeking truth and seeking God were one and the same thing. For example, when he felt he needed an understanding of the great English works of Shakespeare, he read them through on his knees, asking God to help him understand their meaning. This procedure was typical of his method of self-education.
"With no teacher but the Holy Spirit and good books, A. W. Tozer became a theologian, a scholar and a master craftsman in the use of the English language. There are not many quotes in his writings, for he had so assimilated all he had read that he could freely write in simple but attractive language the principles of truth he had discovered across these years of anointed study. The evangelical mystics were his favorite study. The longings of his own heart were satisfied by what he learned from the men and women who kept the light of spiritual reality burning in a time when apostasy and spiritual darkness seemed almost universal.
"Much of the strong meat in The Pursuit of God came out of the crucible of Tozer's own personal experience. The chapter entitled, "The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing" reflected his desperate struggle to turn his only daughter over to God. The battle for him was intense and devastating, but when full surrender came, a new and glorious release became his. He had learned to know God in the school of practical experience." --From "Tozer's Legacy"
