During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. 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.
I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. - John 8:12
Christians ought to be so totally committed to Christ that it is final. Of looking back over your shoulder to see if there is something better - let that never again be your experience.
A short but inspiring booklet on how to follow Christ with your whole heart.
God has nothing to say to the frivolous man. -- A. W. Tozer
Tozer states this bluntly in the book's beginning, and he carries the sentiment through the last chapter.
In God Tells the Man Who Cares, Tozer urges the believer to be vigilant in his pursuit of God's voice in his life. He reminds us that stillness and meditation on the Spirit of God may be more spiritually profitable than the front of religion that is so prevalent in modern society. Stillness is the quality that is so often lost in the business of today's world. To be still and know that He is God is an old truth that is much quoted but rarely lived.
Tozer's convicting voice will bring you to a new and humbling place in your relationship with the Lord. He invites you to lay your emotions at God's feet, provides insight into the true nature of a servant's heart, and decries many aspects of institutionalized Christianity, warning against artificial religion with these words: It] is a disease of the soul, and can only be healed by the Physician of souls.
Tozer's bestseller, this book has been called one of the all-time most inspirational books by a panel of Christian magazine writers.
Sometimes the voices that speak most clearly in the present are those that echo from the past. So it is in this Christian classic by the late pastor and evangelist A. W. Tozer.
Tozer brings the mystics to bear on modern spirituality, grieving the hustle and bustle and calling for a slow, steady gaze upon God. With prophetic vigor and flowing prose, he urges us to replace low thoughts of God with lofty ones, to quiet our lives so we can know God's presence. He reminds us that life apart from God is really no life at all.
Tozer writes from his knees, a posture fit for presenting the character of God in all its demanding grandeur. 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. To pursue God is to know Him, and in our knowing be drawn in.
The most important question
For A. W. Tozer, no question is more important than, What is God like? The desire to know God consumed his entire life and ministry.
That's why those who read him come to know God more intimately.
Originally preached as sermons at Southside Alliance Church in Chicago, this first volume of The Attributes of God examines ten attributes of God. It also includes a study guide for an in-depth look at each attribute:
Steeped in Scripture and filled with the Spirit, Tozer preached with striking clarity and power. The sense of his sermons comes through on every page, bringing the Word of God to bear upon you.
If a sermon can be compared to light, then A.W. Tozer released a laser beam from the pulpit, a beam that penetrated the heart. -- Warren Wiersbe, former pastor of The Moody Church
Encounter God. Worship more.
What Tozer lacked in formal education, he more than made up for in experiential wisdom. Tozer was a man who really knew God, and it showed. People came from all over to hear his sermons because they knew they would go home more in awe of God. That's why millions keep coming back to his writings, but particularly these three books.
Considered to be Tozer's greatest works, The Knowledge of the Holy, The Pursuit of God, and God's Pursuit of Man are now available in a single volume. In 3 Spiritual Classics, you will discover a God of breathtaking majesty and world-changing love, and you will find yourself worshipping through every page. Encounter Tozer and the God worth worshipping today.
Excerpted from sermons preached by A. W. Tozer at his Chicago church, these four chapters cover the following subjects: (1) Who Is the Holy Spirit? (2) The Promise of the Father, (3) How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit, (4) How to Cultivate the Spirit's Companionship.
Sin is never a thing to be proud of. No act is wise that ignores remote consequences, and sin always does. How wise is the man who has made the God of Jacob his hope and has taken refuge in the Rock of Ages! - A. W. Tozer
Obedience. The word we don't want to hear, and we'd much rather not talk about.
And yet, it is the heart of the Christian life.
Salvation and obedience, Saviour and Lord-two sides of the same coin. To receive Christ as Saviour is to submit to Him without regard of the consequences.
The world would call it foolishness. Tozer, however, thinks it the greatest wisdom of all.
If all of eternity exists before us, and our singular earthly life determines the nature of our life in the next, what grave danger are we win, if we persist in digging, shovelling, working, so hard, to get a reward that will surely burn when Christ comes?
In Obedience to Christ, Tozer attempts to breathe heaven into our lungs.
The Pursuit of God, first published in 1948 by Christian pastor and writer A.W. Tozer provides a simple blueprint for living a life closer to God. Considered a Christian classic, this book was listed on Christianity Today's collection of 100 Best Books of the Century.
A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) was a self-taught pastor and writer. As a young man with no formal education in theology, he was nonetheless offered a position as a pastor. For the next 44 years, he served as a spiritual leader to his congregants and wrote books, essays, and articles to share his faith and lead others closer to God.
Tozer's ongoing concern was the worldliness of the modern church. He was a fundamentalist, taking all of his theological principles directly from the scriptures and never bending the Word to fit his own beliefs. It is for this adherence to the Bible and his simple writing style that he became one of the most revered Christian writers of the 20th century.
On a long overnight train ride between Chicago and Texas in the 1940s, Tozer wrote the first draft of The Pursuit of God. The resulting book went on to become one of his best-known works. In the preface, Tozer notes the reasons why he felt the need to write this book. While there are numerous teachers engaged in the work of sharing the doctrines of Christ, ... too many of these seem satisfied to teach the fundamentals of the faith year after year, strangely unaware that there is in their ministry no manifest Presence, nor anything unusual in their personal lives. But among their listeners, Tozer felt there were many who felt within their breasts a longing which their teaching simply does not satisfy.
In this book, Tozer attempts to bridge this gap, helping the believers to find this deeper connection to God. Each chapter reveals another way that the reader can improve his or her relationship with the Creator. For those that feel the urge to pursue God, this work is a valuable guide. It includes lessons on materialism, the proper relation of man to God, and the true value of meekness, among others.
As he often does, Tozer argues against worldliness and distraction, even within the church. Right now we are in an age of religious complexity, he says. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.
A major theme of the book is developing your personal experience of God. Just as you have five senses that let you interact with the world around you, you have a spiritual sense that lets you interact with the Creator. When you accept God's universal Presence, you start to accept that you will never be closer to Him in heaven than you are right now. But you can get to know Him better through prayer and faith.
Tozer also warns that there is no need to separate your life into two parts, the spiritual and the secular. Our sacred acts like attending church, studying the Bible, and prayer do not need to feel so divorced from the worldly acts of eating, sleeping, and working. Life is not meant to be lived with spirituality in one hemisphere, and the real world in another. After all, Christ Himself came to Earth in a human body, and he had to feed it and care for it just like you do.
In simple prose, Tozer helps to lead the reader out of a superficial relationship to God and toward a deeper connection with Him. It is in this pursuit that Christians can find His Presence, not just in church, but around and within them.
En esta serie de sermones inéditos, Tozer nos recuerda que nuestra fe en Cristo no es un fin en sí mismo, sino el punto de partida en un viaje que nos conducirá por varias etapas de crecimiento espiritual, como describe el apóstol Pablo en Filipenses 3, en completa adoración a nuestro Salvador.
Una fe más profunda nos ofrece las claves para:
There has hardly ever been in my ministry a series of sermons to which I have given more time, more pain and more prayer than I did to this series from Philippians 3.
A. W. Tozer called these sermons the most important he ever preached. Looking closely at Philippians 3, he describes the Christian as a modern-day Lazarus who hears the call to arise--but can't escape the grave clothes. In this new series of sermon transcriptions, Tozer shows us how to live with freedom.

A.W. Tozer calls God the Composer of the Cosmos, the Chief Musician of the Universe. God signals the birds to chirp their beautiful tune in the coolness and tranquility of a spring morning, simply because that is what He designed them to do. Each note is wonderfully constructed by God, uniquely bringing praise to His name.
With this inspiring perspective on worship, Tozer invites readers to take a deep look at the ways in which we worship and why. He reminds us that we were created solely for this purpose and that worshipping the Father and seeking His fellowship is our primary task. It is also His delight.
The newest revised edition now includes Worship: The Missing Jewel of the Evangelical Church, first published in the Alliance Life magazine in 1965, and still so profound today.
