The Pursuit of God

This simple book penned 50 years ago by "a busy pastor in Chicago" is wrought with spiritual wisdom for the Christian who is truly hungry for God. Tozer does not write for the person who seeks to build a mountain of knowledge in homage to his god, though he does indeed share entire ranges worth of self-taught knowledge. No, he writes to the Christians "whose religious lives are marked by a growing hunger after God Himself." Christians whose hunger cannot be satisfied in mere ink, paper, and diploma but in true intimate personal experience with the Creator of the Universe, Author of Salvation, Shepherd of our Souls. "This book is a modest attempt to aid God's hungry children so to find Him. Nothing here is new except in the sense that it is a discovery which my own heart has made of spiritual realities most delightful and wonderful to me. Others before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there may be those who can light their candle at its flame." - A.W. Tozer, 1948
