The Pursuit of God A W Tozer 9781535162227 Books

If you want to experience the joys of Christian living, I highly encourage you to read this book. Tozer’s goal of this book was to aid God’s hungry children so to find Him (via preface of book). Here are some of the things I love about this book:

1. “The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him.” Tozer explains the paradox of the importance of pursuing God. Even though as Christians we are going to heaven and we experience God’s unchanging love, there are still privileges of continuing to dive into God. God is looking for people He can lavish His blessings on, and those people are the ones who are diving into their relationship with Him.

2. “Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.” Jesus’ death on the cross removed the veil that was hinder us from coming to God. There is nothing on God’s end keeping us from experiencing the presence of God. And yet, most of us do not experience God personally or experientially in life. We keep ourselves from God.

3. “To most people God is an inference, not a reality. He is a deduction from evidence which they consider adequate, but He remains personally unknown to the individual.” If God is real, then He must be relevant to our lives.

4. “It is the nature of God to speak, to communicate his thoughts to others.” God is not silent. God did not forget how to talk when the Bible was finished. He sees that plans He has for your life and wants to lead you into them.

5. “Jesus taught that His power lay in His continual look at God” (John 5:19-21). This is still a kind of radical thought for me, but Jesus did nothing on earth out of His Godhead. Everything He did is something we can do through the power of the Holy Spirit. The key is to continually gaze at Jesus.

6. “One of the greatest hindrances to internal peace which the Christian encounters is the common habit of dividing our lives into two areas – the sacred and the secular.” Whatever we do we should do it all for the Lord.

would highly recommend the Pursuit of God to anyone wanting to go deeper with God. I am sure if you read it you will get something different than what I laid out above, but I believe whatever you get would greatly help your relationship with Jesus.

The Pursuit of God A W Tozer 9781535162227 Books Reviews

God’s Pursuit of Man is A.W. Tozer’s extraordinary prequel to his more famously known Pursuit of God The Human Thirst For the Divine. In this book he aims to explain what it truly means to know God, as well as to be fully known by Him. The author so masterfully explains that, though humans are commanded to seek God, their ability to do so is quintessentially rooted in His relentless pursuit of them. It is only when the individual humbly recognizes his or her dependence on the sovereign God that they are ultimately freed to rightly seek after the face of their creator. In short, one must come to understand who sought them first in order to pursue Him back.
In God’s Pursuit of Man, A.W. Tozer uses his skill of simplicity by taking certain topics which would normally require someone hundreds and hundreds of pages to explain and condensing them down to approximately one-hundred and fifty pages in a small 5x8 inch book. The book contains merely 10 chapters, all of which are so efficiently and eloquently written. Though his books are shorter in nature, they are by no means a short read. Tozer may possess the ability to say much with only a few words, but the topics which he chooses to compose on are still complicated by nature. I would encourage the reader to slow down when reading this book in order to properly consider the weighty topics about which Tozer writes. Gold becomes purified through an extensive refining process, and Tozer’s words are the same. Understanding the depths of his wisdom will take time and effort by the reader. From my own experience, it is quite worth it.
When it comes to more surface level details, the book is up to snuff. It arrived at my house in perfect condition only two days after I made the purchase. The cover is made out of thick paper with an almost rubbery texture. Even though it is a small book, it has a very sturdy feel to it. The front cover displays the title and author very clearly for the reader to see, and the back cover contains a well-written summary from a prestigious publishing company, Moody Publishers.
Overall, I am extremely impressed by this book! I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to be challenged in their faith. Its timeless truths make it a book which can be easily turned to time and time again for guidance in life. I consider it to be the best purchase I have made on up until today.
This may be the most convicting book I've ever read. I do not include the Bible in the books I've read. It is the inspired Word of God and therefore in a class of it's own. A. W. Tozer impresses me as a theologian for the masses. His insights are deep but his style is straightforward and easy to understand. I will not attempt to do a point by point review. I'll just say that if we, professing Christians, will honestly consider the points he makes we will come to a better understanding of what prevents us from having the intimate relationship with our Creator that He clearly desires. The point Tozer makes about the veil that separates us from God is enough in itself to explain our problem. I intend to read it again taking notes and writing down his many statements that make for excellent quotes. The prayers he includes at the end of each chapter are worth writing down and including in ones regular prayer time.
