5.0 out of 5 stars Meaty Truth in Sharp Focus, June 16, 2000

This review is from: The Pursuit of God: A 31-Day Experience (Paperback)

I was given this book for a graduation present when I receivedmy BA from Bible college. The hardest part to reading it is stickingto one devotion a day. Each short chapter was to the parched soul what an ice cold frosty glass of tea is to the hot, tired, and thirsty person. Edythe combined appropriate qoutes perfectly with Tozer's meaty (but superbly simplified)insights into deep theological thoughts. I plan to lead our church board through it.

This Devotional drasticaly changed my view of God, and my relationship with him. Instead of a tempramental entity, I know see God as he truly is, Loving, caring, but most of all excessable. It didn't do much for my spelling though.

I LOVE the original text of the Pursuit of God. There are some amazing and challenging stretches of writing in the book that are well-worth quoting. However, after reading this edited version, I realize that the flow of the original book is also needed to truly appreciate Tozer's words and ideas.

I used this book for a women's small group and it served us pretty well. Unfortunately, I don't think the women walked away with the same appreciation for Tozer's writing that they would have if we had read the original book.

Buy the original instead!
