The Pursuit of God I recognized the name A. W. Tozer, because he is so often quoted by Christian writers. The pursuit of God is a devotional book, and you know, all devotional writers say the same things. I'll let you be the judge. Here are some quotes from The Pursuit of God: "Sins are not something we do, they are something we are. "Let us remember: when we talk of the rending of the veil, we are speaking in a figure, and the thought of it is almost poetical, almost pleasant; but in actuality there is nothing pleasant about it. In human experience that veil is made of living spiritual tissue...and to touch it is to touch us where we feel pain. It is never fun to die. Yet that is what the cross did to Jesus and it is what the cross would do to every man to set him free. Let us beware of tinkering with our inner life in hope ourselves to rend the veil. God must do everything for us. "Ten million intelligences standing at as many points in space...can each say with equal truth, God is here. No point is nearer to God than any other point. Jacob, 'in the waste howling wilderness'...cried out in wonder.'Surely God is in this place and I knew it not.'" "God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and divine sovereignty. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints. "In the beginning He spoke to nothing, and it became something. "Faith is the least self-regarding of the virtues. It is by its very nature scarcely conscious of its own existence. While we are looking to God we do not see ourselves~ blessed riddance." | ||
Most important I consider this book to be the most important I have ever read outside of the Bible itself. Don Hawley | ||
Don't buy this edition A classic book but a horrible edition. I have never seen so many proofing errors in my life. Not acceptable. | ||
The Pursuit of God The book itself, The Pursuit of God, is wonderful and powerful. There were a few editing errors that I found distracting. Also, other editions have discussion questions that were missing in this edition. I always appreciate having those. | ||
This Version--Terrible Edition The book is amazing and should be read by believers in Jesus, as well as people who "just go to church." This edition, however, is edited badly and unreadable at times. :( I've only gotten through the introduction. | ||
