The Pursuit of God is the enduring Christian classic written by renowned pastor and theologian A.W. Tozer. More than 65 years later, the words Tozer penned on a train from Illinois to Texas echo across the decades to resonate with power in the heart of anyone longing for a deeper experience with God. This devotional masterpiece is at once thought-provoking and spirit-enlivening, an invitation to think deeply about your faith even as you come alive to God's presence surrounding, sustaining and--yes--pursuing you. "This book is a modest attempt," Tozer wrote, "to aid God's children so to find Him." If you are hungry, The Pursuit of God will lead you to the only One who can satisfy the soul.

Short review: Increasingly I am finding books of real worth that need multiple readings. I am intentionally scheduling these books to be re-read and most of them are even richer the second time. This is my first reading of The Pursuit of God, but it is on my ‘read again' list. If you are serious about seeking after God, this is one of the better books on the theology and practical working out of how to do that. It is not a ‘spiritual disciplines' book like Richard Foster, but does include some of that. It is more the wise mentor Christian that speaks into your life firmly but kindly. I read Lyle Dorsett's biography of Tozer last spring and this was the first Tozer book I have read. I will read more. This book is in public domain. So if you have an ebook reader, you can get a free copy from Project Gutenberg and other places. I listened to a Grover Gardner narrated audiobook that was given away by christianaudio.com earlier this year. The narration is top notch.
