The Pursuit of God with Study Guide with Book(s) [Paperback]

A. W. Tozer (Author), Jonathan Graf (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1998

During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940's, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit Of God. He wrote all night, the words coming to him as fast as he could put them down. When the train pulled into McAllen, the rough draft was done. Although written in such a remarkably short period of time, Tozer's passionate classic offers not only a deeper understanding of Biblical Truth, but a personal encounter with the very Source of that Truth.

From AudioFile

Grover Gardner renders Tozers classic work of man in pursuit of the Divine with empathy and sensitivity. He speaks with certitude Tozers comments on mans search for spiritual maturity and his definition of that search as man seeking an intimate relationship with his Maker. However, Tozer believes modern Christians lack the spiritual receptivity to see God in the ordinary. Tozer reminds listeners that mans emptiness and restlessness themselves are from the Divine and that peace can only be found in Him. This is an excellent book for any Christian, whether a new believer or one with a mature relationship with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pursuit of God: With Study Guide, October 31, 2000

This review is from: The Pursuit of God with Study Guide with Book(s) (Paperback)

There is no greater quest than the pursuit of God. If you thirst for the secret place of intimacy with the eternal Father, you will love this book. If you would like to be like Enoch and "walk with God", you must have this book! Mr Tozer brings to the reader an unquenchable flame for the Holy One and the undying desire just to draw near and behold Him in all His glory. He, in his attempt to explain a God who is beyond the greatest of human understanding, sometimes passes the limitations of even the most intellegent of readers. The study guide brings the deepest of trues to a level that even us "average thinkers" can understand. This book truely has changed my life and the life of many of my friends. Please buy this book. You will thank me if you do.

This review is from: The Pursuit of God with Study Guide with Book(s) (Paperback)

Tozer's The Pursuit of God is a deep, deep writing. Each reading reveals more of God and His purpose in our lives. The study guide, while faithfully following the format of the text, falls short of plumbing the depths of the text. It is a good starting point, but needs to be supplemented with teaching and discussion led by one who can reach into the depths the study guide leaves unexplored.

4.0 out of 5 stars pusuit of God by AW Tozer, May 6, 2001

This little gem profoundly changes the way you view God. It forces the seemingly religious to seriously examine the practicality of living for Christ. Excellent and easy to read.
