The Pursuit of God

American Christian Pastor A. W. Tozer hailed from the Midwest where as a teenager he overheard a street preacher say, "If you don't know how to be saved ... just call on God, saying, 'Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.'" It was in this moment that he converted to Christianity and began his own pursuit of a more pious life. Of Tozer's "The Pursuit of God" Samuel M. Zwemer remarks in his introduction that it "is the result of long meditation and much prayer. It is not a collection of sermons. It does not deal with the pulpit and the pew but with the soul athirst for God. The chapters could be summarized in Moses' prayer, 'Show me thy glory, ' or Paul's exclamation, 'O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!' It is theology not of the head but of the heart. ... Here is a book for every pastor, missionary, and devout Christian. It deals with the deep things of God and the riches of His grace. Above all, it has the keynote of sincerity and humility." Arguably Tozer's most popular work "The Pursuit of God" will be an insightful read for every Christian who ventures down its path in pursuit of God. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
