Title: The Pursuit of God
Author: A.W. Tozer
Completed on January 2, 2012
Review: My review of this book can be summed up in four words – it blew me away! Tozer identifies one of the major problems in our Church today. As a Church, we are creating a new breed of Christian who understands doctrine better than at any point in history yet fails to understand what it truly means to be a follower of Christ.
Having identified the problem, Tozer offers a beautiful solution that is more practical and mystical than theological. His book is an invitation for the the reader to seek God above all else. While many Christian writers invite the reader to seek God to the point of making a decision for Christ, Tozers encourages the Christian to make the seeking of God the continual foundation upon which their life is built on.
Tozer’s book served to draw me closer to God and instilled in me the desire to come even closer. It is a book I am sure to read often in the future and gladly add to my list of essential reads.
You will also be glad to know the book is free on the Kindle!
Happy reading, Clark.

Didn’t know this was free on Kindle, thanks for the tip. I’ve not read the whole thing (just pieces) but know it’s a classic. The whole concept of going beyond a salvation message and recognizing the need for DAILY sanctification is vital to real growth – both personally and in the church at large. Thanks for telling us we can get this free.
