Lizzie: Wow what an amazing book.
AW Tozer's faith in God is astounding.
What I loved the most about this book were the chapter ending prayers. So humble, so genuine.
A great book to read, added to my favourites.

Bob Brown: This is indeed, another great book on Christian guidance by an author I so respect. My next task? Back into Amazon to try and find another A.W Tozer book I have not read.

Andrew Mcmanus: Back to basics...always a good thing. All about relationship (with God, then man), not at all about religion. Highly recommended.

Amazon Customer: I found this book so helpful. It challenged me and reassured me. Nothing in this word is more precious than pursuing God + finding out that He in His Infinite Love and Grace has been pursuing us all along!

Legamin: As human beings we all come to the point of finding that we are missing something. It is described by philosophers as ‘the absence of merit for our existence’…and by some young believers in Jesus “A God shaped hole deep within us that we want filled”. Whatever you have thought, whatever you have heard, if you have been emotionally hurt by zealots or selfish ‘Christians’ or people who just didn’t really get the plot? All that doesn’t matter RIGHT NOW! You are seeking for that ‘Something’ and that ‘Something’ has been Jesus all along.
This book will take you on the Odessa that is the personal quest for meaning and significance in your own life. This book helps you step out of the shadows of your hurt and offense…even anger at people and situations past into the warm light of a future free of the anguish of trying to please other people or requiring THEM to life up to YOUR Standards.
Being imperfect….surrounded by imperfect folk….requires that we forgive their imperfections and Pursue God for be forgiven for ours…our imperfections of course….but the rest of it…lies, sexual impurity, gossip, slander, anger…(only you and God know what is...

Adam Colclough: How are we to find belief in God? A question that has tested human beings, at least those of us who are open to finding out, for centuries.
For the most part it is one that theologians haven’t been much help in answering. They tend to bind the whole issue around with arguments and terminology so complex you could be forgiven for thinking they might get more than a little lost themselves sometimes.
A few hardy souls have tried to make the subject halfway accessible for we lay people with varying levels of success. C.S Lewis in his Mere Christianity, a book based on talks he gave on the BBC during the Second World War, has been for me the go to text.
This book by American preacher A.W. Tozer who lived and worked in Chicago in the first half of last century may just join him on my personal list of required reading.
The tone is different, Lewis was an Oxbridge don and for all the good sense and noble intentions he demonstrates did tend to address his audience from a position of lofty intellectual superiority. This can, along with some of the social attitudes implied, grate on the sensibilities of modern readers.
Tozer, who was largely self-educated...

David D. Flowers: In all of my years growing up as a "conservative evangelical"... I heard of A.W. Tozer quite often, but I have just now stopped to read my first Tozer book. After reading Tozer's "The Pursuit of God: The Human Thirst for the Divine", I can't help but wonder if all those preachers and teachers were speaking of another A.W. Tozer. I keep thinking, "How did they miss this?"
Tozer writes of spiritual things, not of the religious outward works of the flesh. His concern is that we all might tune in our spiritual receptors and begin letting the Lord take us deeper into him. I resonated with this book in many things the Lord is presently teaching me.
Tozer writes, "We have almost forgotten that God is a person and, as such, can be cultivated as any person can. It is inherent in personality to be able to know other personalities, but full knowledge of one personality by another cannot be achieved in one encounter."
He goes on to say,"God is a person, and in the deep of His mighty nature He thinks, wills, enjoys, feels, loves, desires and suffers as any other person may... He communicates with us through the avenues of our minds, our wills, and our...
