B93663 - The Pursuit of God

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. (Psalm 42:1) For the person thirsting for the things of God without distracting embellishments, this book will become a faithful companion. From the back cover: During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in th late 1940s, 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, the depth, clarity and completeness of Tozer's message has made The Pursuit of God an enduring favorite. "His ability to separate the wheat from the chaff, the lesser from the greater, reflects his great vision of God." --Dr. Erwin Lutzer "Those who drink deeply of [Tozer's] writing are refreshed and nourished. We need invigorating draughts of Tozer today!" --Dr. Stuart Briscoe "A.W. Tozer was my primary spiritual mentor when I was a young Christian. No Christian author has had a greater impact on me." --Dr. Neil Anderson "I have read and re-read [Tozer's] books and each time sense a hushed silence. It is the silence that has heard from God." --Dr. Ravi Zacharias "A 20th century prophet" they called him even in his own lifetime. For 31 years he was pastor of Southside Alliance Church in Chicago, where his reputation as a man of God was citywide. Concurrently, he became editor of Alliance Life, a responsibility he fulfilled until his death in 1963. His greatest legacy to the Christian world has been more than 40 books, including this one.
