The Pursuit of God: The Bliss of Following Hard After the Lord

This beloved classic by A.W. Tozer is for the spiritually dissatisfied, for the passionate, for the hungry. If you are content wading in the shallows while bearing no passion to glorify God and enjoy Him forever - then this book is not for you. If your hunger and thirst can only be satisfied by God Himself, and the desire for the piercing sweetness of the love of Christ overrides all competing desires, then reading the Pursuit of God will intoxicate you. You cannot afford to not read this book.

Chapters include discussions on the bliss of following hard after God, the sacrament of living, the blessedness of possessing nothing as well as the paradox of the simultaneous pursuit of God while being pursued by Him. A full chapter listing:

Following Hard after God The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing Removing the Veil Apprehending God The Universal Presence The Speaking Voice The Gaze of the Soul Restoring the Creator-creature Relation Meekness and Rest The Sacrament of Living

This edition contains a special feature embodied in two separate sermons by C. H. Spurgeon on Finding and Fellowshipping with God.

The ten chapters are heart searching and the prayers at the close of each are for closet, not pulpit. I felt the nearness of God while reading them. Here is a book for every pastor, missionary and devout Christian. It deals with the deep things of God and the riches of His grace. Samuel M. Zwemer, Missionary, Scholar, Author and the Apostle to Islam.
