A. W. Tozer

The Pursuit of God

Aiden Wilson Tozer

"Lord, I must speak of Thee", wrote Tozer, "lest by my silence I offend against the generation of Thy children". Written during a train trip from Chicago to, McAllen, Texas, The Pursuit of God has become a classic best-seller. Recipient of both the ECPA Gold and Platinum Book Awards.

I liked that this book talked about a lot of truths that are easily forgotten in this day and age.

Of Tozer's many books and other writings, The Pursuit of God is his most famous and widely read. The Pursuit of God in particular has reached all the corners of the world. This book is considered a Christian classic and is still read and listened to by many faithful Christians to this day. It was written and published while he was a pastor in Chicago. In The Pursuit of God, Tozer writes about why people pursue a relationship with God and how one can best go about doing so. Much of Tozer's doctrine can be found in this book. Tozer writes, "We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts." In chapter 1, Tozer explains that the reason one desires to pursue God is because God gave one that desire. God gives one the impulse, but one must "follow hard after him". Tozer implores readers to strip to the "bare essentials" and present themselves before God without any efforts to impress him.

A very small yet super convicting book. I especially liked the prayers laid out at the end of each section. I basically cried reading each and every one aloud. A few necessary reminders that we serve not an ideal, but a *person.*

More than 70 years after its original release, this A.W. Tozer classic continues to resonate with power in the heart of anyone longing for a deeper experience with God. Penned on a train from Illinois to Texas, Tozer's words echo across the decades, inviting you to think deeply about your faith as you come alive to God's presence surrounding, sustaining, and--yes--pursuing you. "This book is a modest attempt," Tozer wrote, "to aid God's hungry children so to find Him." If you are hungry, The Pursuit of God will lead you to the only One who can satisfy the soul.

To have found God and still to pursue Him is a paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religious person, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stated this holy paradox in a musical four-line poem that will be instantly understood by every worshipping soul: "We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. " Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. Let A. W. Tozer's pursuit of God spur you also into a genuine hunger and thirst to truly know God.
