The Pursuit of God Author:A. W Tozer Sometimes the voices that speak most clearly in the present are those that echo from the past. So it is in this Christian classic by the late pastor and evangelist A. W. Tozer. — Tozer brings the mystics to bear on modern spirituality, grieving the hustle and bustle and calling for a slow, steady gaze upon God. With prophetic vigor and flowing pr... more »ose, he urges us to replace low thoughts of God with lofty ones, to quiet our lives so we can know God’s presence. He reminds us that life apart from God is really no life at all.
Tozer writes from his knees, a posture fit for presenting the character of God in all its demanding grandeur. "Arise, O sleeper!" is his word to us, and yet if we heed the call, we will see that to arise is not to stand, but to kneel before the God of heaven in humble contemplation.

One of my all time favorite books. If you enjoy A.W. Tozer's books this will soon become one of your favorite's too. And if you've never read one of his books, this is the absolute BEST one to start with. A true classic.
This is one of Tozers most thought provoking books. In it he repeatedly asks the question, Where are you with God? He tells that we are both the pursued and the pusuer when it comes to a continuing relationship with God. Tozer has a very porwerful mind when it come to serving God. It's to bad he died in the early fifties. His influence on some of todays top preachers, such as: David Jeremiah and Chip Ingram, is profound. these men we look up to in our time they looked upto A.W. Tozer in his day.
