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.
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
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.

The highest that can be said of any creature is that it fulfilled the purpose for which God made it. -- A. W. Tozer
What is holding you back from being all God wants you to be? Are you still holding on to past sins? Do memories of your spiritual failures haunt you? Or maybe you want to stay in control and not become one of those fanatical Christians?
Tozer says, It is one of the devil's oldest tricks to discourage the saints by causing them to look back at what they were. Indeed, Satan has been in the business of intimidating and deceiving the people of God for a very long time. Tozer himself felt attacked by the devil even as he prepared the sermons distilled into this book.
But as we press toward maturity in Christ, we are armed with great strength to engage in battle with that great Adversary. We can stand up to the Devil and shout I am a child of God I will not take this any longer, and I remind you that the forgiveness and cleansing I have freely received comes from Jesus Christ
You can talk back to the Devil, but will you?
A.W. Tozer wrote with the passion of a man thirsty for God. He was not afraid to expose man's frailties, nor was he hesitant to reveal what God can do for those who seek Him.

A.W. Tozer once said, I guess my philosophy is this: Everything is wrong until God sets it right. Enjoy this collection of writings from a man who scarcely, if ever, stated a truth he didn't glean from God.
God Owns My Business is more than a book about a successful businessman. It is the chronicle of how an average man can, with God's guidance and a willing heart, succeed in any endeavor.
They said it couldn't be done, but formally and legally, business owner Stanley Tam made God the owner of his business. To say that his business has met with success thanks to this decision would be a significant understatement--Stanley Tam's businesses are large and profitable, giving well over a million dollars annually.
Learn what happens when a man gives his business--literally--to God, and be inspired to steward your whole life for God's honor.
If the messages in this book were read and acted upon by every pastor and church member, we would have the revival for which Dr. Tozer fervently prayed, and for which many of us are praying today. -- Warren Wiersbe
The church should be a healthy, fruitful vineyard that will bring honor to Christ, says A. W. Tozer. But to do so, we as individuals must stop accepting the status quo and get out of our spiritual ruts.
In Rut, Rot, or Revival, Tozer describes the signs of being in a spiritual rut, the reasons we get into them, how to get out, and, most importantly, why we need to get out now.
Any tiny work that God has ever done through me and through my ministry for Him dates back to that hour when I was filled with the Spirit. That is why I plead for the spiritual life of the Body of Christ and the eternal ministries of the Eternal Spirit through God's children--His instruments. -- A. W. Tozer
The Size of the Soul is a collection of editorials by A. W. Tozer, written while he was the editor of Alliance Life.

In this 12th book of editorials, Tozer covers topics like:
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.
In The Pursuit of God, 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's bestseller, this book has been called one of the all-time most inspirational books by a panel of Christian magazine writers. And with this study guide, ideal for group or individual use, reflection and discussion questions will help you internalize the content and apply it to your life.
In this collection of 12 profound sermons, A. W. Tozer points out why so many Christians and churches today are weak. But he doesn't leave us without hope. He uplifts our spirits and helps us recognize what God wants to do in and through each and every one of us.
These sermons deal directly with the subjects of the Christian church and the spiritual basis for its varied and continuing ministries. They display A. W. Tozer's love, appreciation, and concern for the church, which motivated him to so consistently issue caution. Tozer always yearned to reveal to the Christina and Missionary Alliance a desire for each church member to reach their full potential for honoring the Lord Jesus Christ, and this book represents that yearning well.
