Powerful
Customer Rating:
A powerful piece of work to say the least. "The Pursuit Of God" by A.W. Tozer will help people learn how to get closer to Jesus. We all are going to have to learn how to abandon ourselves to God and this book will help you along that path. I see from reading the reviews on this site some people have recommend my book, "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," and again I just want them to know how much I appreciate their recommendation, especially at such a excellent site. I wrote this book out of love and for the glory of God and Jesus, not for my own fame or fortune. I welcome people to read my book, I'm sure you'll find this non-fiction account of a loving God just as positive and inspiring
Captivating book
Customer Rating:
I think I've read almost all the book on this subject by now. This book "The Pursuit Of God" tries to help you to come to know God Better and have a deeper relationship with Him. I hope Aiden Tozer accomplishes what he set out to do. If you're looking to understand the supernatural I suggest you read , "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone" by John H. Eagan .You really get a sense of who God is, what He wants us to do now, and what we'll really do in the afterlife.
The Pursuit of God
Customer Rating:
I recognized the name A. W. Tozer, because he is so often quoted by Christian writers. The pursuit of God is a devotional book, and you know, all devotional writers say the same things. I'll let you be the judge. Here are some quotes from The Pursuit of God:
"Sins are not something we do, they are something we are.
"Let us remember: when we talk of the rending of the veil, we are speaking in a figure, and the thought of it is almost poetical, almost pleasant; but in actuality there is nothing pleasant about it. In human experience that veil is made of living spiritual tissue...and to touch it is to touch us where we feel pain. It is never fun to die. Yet that is what the cross did to Jesus and it is what the cross would do to every man to set him free. Let us beware of tinkering with our inner life in hope ourselves to rend the veil. God must do everything for us.
"Ten million intelligences standing at as many points in space...can each say with equal truth, God is here. No point is nearer to God than any other point. Jacob, 'in the waste howling wilderness'...cried out in wonder.'Surely God is in this place and I knew it not.'"
"God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and divine sovereignty. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints.
"In the beginning He spoke to nothing, and it became something.
"Faith is the least self-regarding of the virtues. It is by its very nature scarcely conscious of its own existence. While we are looking to God we do not see ourselves~ blessed riddance."
Most important

I consider this book to be the most important I have ever read outside of the Bible itself.

Customer Rating:
A classic book but a horrible edition. I have never seen so many proofing errors in my life. Not acceptable.
