Product Description

During a train trip to Texas in the 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 the station the rough draft was finished.

Although written in a remarkably short period of time, the depth, clarity and completeness of Tozer's message has made this an enduring favourite.

"In our 'information age' Tozer's books continue to offer not just information but insight which is relevant and time-tested."
Franklin Graham

"Those who drink deeply of Tozer's writings are refreshed and nourished. We need invigorating draughts of Tozer today!"
Stuart Briscoe

"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."
Ravi Zacharias

Customer Reviews

A Christian Classic
I actually found this book to be an above average book because it was punchy, honest, insightful and inspiring. Yet, I still rate it a 10 because I can't count the number of people who find this book to be their favorite Christian book ever. It forces and honest look into one's own heart, and challenges individuals beyond any lukewarm Christian life. It is a must read for individuals reading Christian books.

One of my all-time favorites
There are not many books that are so timeless and challenging as The Pursuit of God. If you are tired of modern evangelicalism's false ideas that we can come to Christ without forsaking the world, that being a Christian means nothing more than to sidestep hell one day, this book is for you. Prepare to glow with the presence of God while you read this - we were created to know God intimately, and this book beautifully makes that known. Read it and be changed forever.

Easy style to read, but very deep content. Challenging.
One of the absolute best books I've ever read...of any genre! There are many "devotional" style books out there, but very few come close to this in either writing style, but more importantly in content. Probably the author's best work. Writes clearly, simply, and very powerfully. Best read in small chunks because even though the writing is clear, the thoughts are deep and require reflection before moving on.
