Book excerpt: The Pursuit of God is an inspirational guide for Christians seeking to get closer to God, written by an American Christian pastor A. W. Tozer. In one of his most famous books Tozer identifies one of the major problems of the Christian Church. He suggests that the Church is making a new type of Christian who understands the Christian doctrine better than ever throughout the history, but still fails to understand what it really means to be a follower of Christ. Having identified the problem, Tozer offers a beautiful solution that is more practical and mystical than theological. He encourages the Christian to take the seeking of God and make it the foundation upon which their life is built on. Being a mystic, he focuses on experience, feeling and hearing God's voice as important to faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in a single night on a train and first published in 1948, A. W. Tozer’s The Pursuit of God is a classic Christian devotional book that explores the nature of the believer’s relationship with God. In it, Tozer emphasizes the importance of pursuing a deep and intimate relationship with God, rather than simply seeking religious knowledge or following a set of rules. Tozer argues that the pursuit of God requires a complete surrender of oneself to Him, as well as a willingness to embrace the mysteries and paradoxes of faith. He also stresses the importance of cultivating a life of prayer and meditation, and of seeking to experience the presence of God in every aspect of one’s life. Throughout The Pursuit of God, Tozer offers practical advice for those who desire to grow in their relationship with God. He encourages readers to seek God with a whole heart, to trust in His goodness and love, and to allow the Holy Spirit to transform their hearts and minds. Ultimately, Tozer’s message is one of hope and encouragement, reminding believers that the pursuit of God is not a burdensome duty, but a joyful and fulfilling journey that leads to abundant life and spiritual growth. In 2000, The Pursuit of God was named to Christianity Today’s list of 100 “Books of the Century.” This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written during a train trip in the late 1940s, The Pursuit of God shows how God pursues humans to draw them into a relationship with Himself, while humans thirst after the things of God—though they attempt to fill this thirst with things other than worship of their Creator. Tozer explores different aspects of this desire within the human heart, calling readers to examine what they believe and put aside preconceived ideas that disrupt this relationship with God. “It is a solemn thing,” he writes, “to see God’s children starving while actually seated at the Father’s table. This book is a modest attempt to aid God’s hungry children so to find Him.”

Book excerpt: Recent Update: NASB Scriptures To have found God and still to pursue Him is a paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religious person, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stated this holy paradox in a musical four-line poem that will be instantly understood by every worshipping soul: We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. Let A. W. Tozer’s pursuit of God spur you also into a genuine hunger and thirst to truly know God.

With prophetic vigor and flowing prose, in these pages, Reformed Pastor A. W. Tozer urges us to replace low thoughts of God with lofty ones, to quiet our lives so we can know God's presence. Throughout this book, he sheds light on practical ways to a closer walk with God. "Arise, O sleeper!" is his word to us, and yet if we heed the call, we will see that to arise is not to stand but to kneel before the God of heaven in humble contemplation. In these pages, Tozer reminds us that life apart from God is really no life at all. To pursue God is to know Him, and in our knowing, be drawn in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pursuit of God by A W TOZER Made of ten chapter plus the introduction, the pursuit of God is just not one of the many books wrote by A.W. Tozen about Christianity, God and the Christian message. The book is basically made to seem a path that would ideally guide the reader along his understanding of God. This book has the finality to guide not just attention and actions of the readers in the right way to reach the understanding of God but would like to forge their thoughts as well in order to make them follow a series of steps which would ideally drive them to an higher level of satisfaction and an higher level of Christianity.One of the ideas behind this work is that the priority of spend time taking care of spirituality and understanding the divine essence has been forgotten for too long. The reason of this fact is mainly attributable at a tendency to see religion and spirituality more as an hobby then as a passion and a dutie. For all these reasons what the author would like to do is to shake people' consciousness in order to delete this tendency and make the love for God shine again on Christians' lives. The author, in his book, says that the only way to highlight again the message of the Christianity is to pray and meditate with consciousness and determination to reach a deeper level of concentration about our soul. All the work is based on the message of God and on the need to keep this message and the divine as the heart of our essence since this is the only way we have to lead to peace and to emotional and spiritual safety and satisfaction.Into chapters of the book the author keep on remembering to his readers the importance of Christian's values, he encourage us to think about God in order to create into our mind a clear idea of him as of someone who is really and strongly into our lives. On the same idea are based also other works of this writer such as the most known which are: the root of right - precious gems of spirituality, What happened to adoration? and last but not least the research of God. All these book together would ideally let the reader know about the author's deep understanding of God and would help him to understand why and in which circumstances he betrayed his faith or did something that maybe is keeping him far from God and from his message of love and acceptance. Here is a masterly study of the inner life by a heart thirsting after God, eager to grasp at least the outskirts of His ways, the abyss of His love for sinners, and the height of His unapproachable majesty--and it was written by a busy pastor in Chicago! Who could imagine David writing the twenty-third Psalm on South Halsted Street, or a medieval mystic finding inspiration in a small study on the second floor of a frame house on that vast, flat checker-board of endless streets Where cross the crowded ways of life Where sound the cries of race and clan, In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed threshold dark with fears, And paths where hide the lures of greed ... But even as Dr. Frank Mason North, of New York, says in his immortal poem, so Mr. Tozer says in this book: Above the noise of selfish strife We hear Thy voice, O Son of Man. My acquaintance with the author is limited to brief visits and loving fellowship in his church. There I discovered a self-made scholar, an omnivorous reader with a remarkable library of theological and devotional books, and one who seemed to burn the midnight oil in pursuit of God. His book is the result of long meditation and much prayer. It is not a collection of sermons. It does not deal with the pulpit and the pew but with the soul athirst for God. The chapters could be summarized in Moses' prayer, "Show me thy glory," or Paul's exclamation, "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" It is theology not of the head but of the heart.

His thoughts on the subject were deeply rooted in biblical doctrine and historic writings, blending Scripture with some of the great devotional writers throughout history. Be inspired to not only understand worship but also experience it in your own heart. This will be the best teaching in my ministry. I want to deliver my soul as a prophet of God to the people, and to explain why we were created and why we are here, not to the satisfaction of the needed appetite only but to something bigger, grander and more eternal, that we might worship God and enjoy Him forever.
