Tozer's compact gem of a book focuses on God' willingness to communicate with those who sincerely seek Him.

Tozer covers several important points, including:

1. God is to be treated with reverence.
2. God is best known in silence.
3. The church is to contrast with the world.
4. Unity is not always desirable.
5. Christians have become too accomodating to the world.
6. Beware of pragmatism in the church.
7. A Christian should be a creative thinker.
8. Beware of religious artificiality and the fear of man.
9. Do not be afraid to speak up for the truth!
10. Faith and expectation go together.

All in all, I highly recommend the book for the person who seeks a deeper relationship with the Lord and who dares to be different from the world!

I cannot say enough good about this book. As a pastor I was especially challenged by the two chapters "The Best Things Come Hard" and "Honesty in Prayer".

Every Christian man should read this book.

There are many "must" books for pastors that cover theology, leadership, administration, holiness, and the like. Tozer's great talent is that he sweeps all things up into simple, poetic language that challenges pastors to be men who seek God with all the passion they possess. You cannot read his work and come away unchanged.

People will not change because pastors are merely intelligent, or merely good administrators, or merely "clean" in their lifestyle. True men of God must learn to weave those things together with an undying passion, holding forth the glory and joy of God to a scared and dying world. "God Tells the Man Who Cares" is one of the finest books I know for fanning the sparks of your passion into flame.
