He wrote all night, and when the train arrived at his destination, the rough draft was done. The depth of this book has made it an enduring favorite. Readers cannot help but hear the voice of God calling them to a deeper relationship with Him while reading this amazing classic. From beginning to end, each page in "The Pursuit of God" is an impassioned plea for the reader to abandon "comfortable Christianity" in order to truly know God as He desires to be known. This is the most important and foundational book of the Christian faith written by a man who wore holes in the knees of his pants from praying. "The Pursuit of God" challenges the reader to consider their own faith in Christ, and what they should be doing with that faith, in virtually every chapter. The chapter entitled "The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing" should be required reading for anyone confessing Christ as their Lord. If you have not done so already, please read this book. Your life, and the lives of those you share this book with, will be forever enriched.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find Hope and Peace with an Intimate Pursuit of God *Top 10 Amazon Best Seller* "Tozer wrote this book in 1948, but if anything, it is more relevant today." -- John Piper "He was one of the first preachers of my generation who made the Bible come alive." -- Frank Boggs, friend of Tozer. What if millions of Christians around the world had the right answers about God but rarely (if ever) worshiped Him? That's what author and pastor A.W. Tozer asked some 70 years ago when he wrote The Pursuit of God during an all-night train ride from Chicago to a speaking engagement in McAllen, Texas. Tozer began writing early in the evening, had a dinner of toast and tea around 9 p.m., and finished The Pursuit of God at 7:30 the next morning. He had penned a classic. "[F]or millions of Christians ... God is no more real than He is to the non-Christian," Tozer wrote. "They go through life trying to love an ideal and be loyal to a mere principle." But Tozer -- who spent hours each week praying -- said there is hope for those who hunger for and pursue God: "We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts." The Pursuit of God is for those who want to know God more -- his holiness, his riches, his love -- and to worship Him as did the saints of Scripture. In 10 concise chapters, Tozer explores the "mysterious depths" of God like few authors can with updated language to enhance your understanding. Each chapter concludes with a prayer by Tozer and reflection/discussion questions for personal reflection. Do you desire to know God? To have inward peace like never before? To see your faith refreshed and renewed? To have your life transformed by a walk with God you didn't think was possible? The Pursuit of God is a life-changing book for lay people, missionaries and pastors alike. It is a book that will challenge you, encourage you and inspire you. It is a book you'll read again ... and again .. and again. Don't hesitate in your pursuit of a deeper relationship with your Creator. Pick up this book today to find hope, peace, and healing now and for eternity.

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.
Download or read book The Pursuit of God written by A. W. Tozer and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 94 pages. 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.
Download or read book None Like Him written by Jen Wilkin and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings were created to reflect the image of God—but only to a limited extent. Although we share important attributes with God (love, mercy, compassion, etc.), there are other qualities that only God possesses, such as unlimited power, knowledge, and authority. At the root of all sin is our rebellious desire to be like God in such ways—a desire that first manifested itself in the garden of Eden. In None Like Him, Jen Wilkin leads us on a journey to discover ten ways God is different from us—and why that’s a good thing. In the process, she highlights the joy of seeing our limited selves in relation to a limitless God, and how such a realization frees us from striving to be more than we were created to be.
Download or read book Knowing and Doing the Will of God written by David Jones and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians rightly believe that within the pages of the Bible God reveals His moral will to His people. Indeed, by studying Scripture believers can learn to follow God's moral standards, which address a wide range of life issues. Yet, many Christians wrestle with the idea of knowing and doing what they believe to be a special individual will of God for their lives. As commonly understood, this individual will is related to subjects such as what school to attend, whom to marry, which church to join, what career path to pursue, what purchases to make, and a host of other similar issues. In this book author David W. Jones examines the important concept of the will of God and suggests that Scripture alone is sufficient for Christian life and practice.In the process of looking at God's will in Scripture this book helps readers to understand the meaning of major biblical passages that speak about God's will. Topics that are explored and explained in this clear volume include: the difference between true and false prophets, the practice of casting lots, the biblical use of the Urim and Thummim, the place of dreams and visions in the Christian life, the idea of angelic visitation, as well as the use of supernatural signs to know the will of God. Additionally, this text includes discussions about the place of prayer in decision making, the role of the Holy Spirit in revelation, and suggestions for how so-called weaker and stronger brethren can interact regarding issues of Christian liberty.
