Summary: A Book Saturated with God's Presence!
Review: This is one of a few books I've read that, upon reading it, actually manifested God's presence. In line with the teaching of the book, God impressed upon me his love and his desire for a more intimate relationship. I broke into tears. Few books have had that impact. The chapter entitled "The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing" is a profound call to absolute simplicity and abandonment to God who owns everything you may think you "possess", including yourself! Surrender it all to God and see what miracles will be wrought for His glory. Let God possess you! For those who want other recommendations, try "The Christian's Secret to a Happy Life" by Hannah Whitall Smith, "A Testament of Devotion" by Thomas Kelly, "Abandonment to Divine Providence" by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence and, for those who want to experience God's holiness in a powerful way, "The Holiness of God" by R.C. Sproul. - Brad Clark

Summary: No greater reward on earth
Review: Tozer discovered and embraced something that sadly, many, even long-time Christians, never even dreamed of reaching for. Anyone can have what A.W. Tozer had, if they would just take the first step. Little do many know, that our Heavenly Father pursues us with passion and calls to us daily. But seldom do we respond to His call and His blessings, with more than a lukewarm "thank you", if indeed we respond at all. Tozer understood how much love that God is and how greatly He desires to be loved by us in return. He understood the intensly personal nature of God's regard for each of us. Tozer was a man who was passionate for God. By sharing, with him, his experience and prayers in this book, you can be well on your way to cultivating that MOST important relationship. Your relationship with God is the only one that will truly fulfill you. This is something that Tozer recognized. He wished that others would follow in his foot steps and lay hold of the most magnificent gift in the universe. After the Bible, this book has been the most important in my life.

Summary: The Pursuit of God.
Review: Tozer has been described as a twentieth century prophet, and fittingly so. 'The Pursuit of God' is a challenging rebuttal to comfortable, pompously pious evangelicalism, perhaps needed more today than when it was first published. It is a book that deserves the attention of every generation of Christian. Unlike so much of the culturally obsessed pop-religionism packaged and peddled today, Tozer's theology and exegesis are very sound: " . . .the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen there is a distance as wide as the sea. We are overrun today with orthodox scribes, but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the wonder that is God. And yet, thus to penetrate, to push in sensitive living experience into the holy Presence, is a privilege open to every child of God." Tozer on the rejection of self-focus: "Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction. . . Faith is the least self-regarding of the virtues. . . while we are looking at God we do not see ourselves -- blessed riddance."

Summary: The Aroma of Heaven Clings to the Pages of this Book
Review: Tozer speaks as one who has been in the presence of the King and the aroma of heaven clings to the pages of his book. The Pursuit of God was one of the first really great books I read. One of my mentors loaned it to me when I was nineteen years old and facing a period of decisive surrender in important areas of my life. The second chapter, called "The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing," was especially meaningful to me. Everything Tozer wrote was good and I could give a blanket recommendation to his other works. His books are brief, but not shallow. I highly recommend The Pursuit of God. Follow it up with Man: The Dwelling Place of God, another of Tozer's great books.

Summary: Clear Truth and a Call to Something Higher
Review: Tozer's "Pursuit of God" is a must read for anyone seeking to go deeper into fellowship with God. This book will go down in history as one of the most clear and concise presentations of Christian spirituality in the English language. The book has had a profound influence on my own life and the lives of several friends who have read it.

Summary: MUST Reading
Review: What a profound impact this book had and still has on me! I first read it in El-Salvador and was all but arrested by the Spirit of God has He illumined these pages to me. I have read it for many years after that time as well. This really should be in EVERY Christian's library.

Summary: God illuminates His Word to me through Tozer
Review: When the Lord wants to apply a hundred watt bulb to my dim understanding, Tozer illuminates God's Word to me. The clarity, power, simplicity and humility of this writer leaves me setting the book down frequently to catch my breath! God prepares a banquet for us in the richness and variety of Tozer's thoughts and understanding. "Pursuit of God" is Tozer's finest accompishment. Men and women of God should have this book in their hands, "read it through and pray it in". Then pass it on!

Summary: Learn who God is and enter into His presence
Review: Wow! This book is truly the best I've read at explaining God and why we don't sense His presence. Read only a chapter at a time and come to know Him and why your heart yearns for Him. Then pray the prayer at the end of each chapter that pleads with God to take you and make you more like Him. Deep and plainly spiritual, the author knows His subject well. This book strips away man's self-pride and focuses on the almightly glory of God.
