Publisher's summary

To have found God and still to pursue Him is a paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religious person, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stated this holy paradox in a musical four-line poem.

Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. Let A. W. Tozer's pursuit of God spur you also into a genuine hunger and thirst to truly know God.

Our relationship with God

In America we have a very shallow relationship with the living God, or at least I did. We accept Christ, go to a few Bible Studies, attend church and think we have it nailed. Then you read this and see how much more is available and needs to be pursued.

Sacredness

Tozer's insights on Christian living are extraordinary. Life is sacred because God has made it so, that is why everyday we should seek to honor God with sacred living. No matter your personal beliefs or denomination I recommend this book to everyone to is hungry for the Lord.

Challenging

His teaching is well grounded in scripture and challenges one to consider their personal walk with Jesus.

Exactly what I always knew! but no church I’ve ever been to practices

I finally read the first book ever in my life that explains how to be close to GOD according to scripture that I always knew in my heart was the only way! ❤️ There was never a church, priest, rabbi, minister, pastor, or any religion i.e. catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Assemblies of God, Protestant, 7th Day Adventist, Evangelical Free, Apologist, etc. etc., since I got saved 25 years ago that could teach God’s word correctly because of greed for money and growth and materialism and rituals and building projects 😫
The hypocrisy and lack of real faith in today’s churches is comical at best! This book has brought me to a place where I am now more confident than ever in my faith in God and my walk. I now know the right way to pray for the religious Pharisees in the world today bastardizing Gods word for their own wealth! God doesn’t want our money or to use it to pay for 10 plus church staffs salaries and their entire families health plans either...so sad...God must be reeling to see the mockery many churches in the world today have made. They are supposed to be meek and only concerned with sharing the gospel to others so everyone’s hearts yearn to have a right relationship with Him and seeks Him not man💔 Nobody needs Bible college and degrees 🤦🏼‍♀️ in order to guide someone to God. God’s Holy Spirit was left with all of us when Jesus went home, it’s so simple it’s stupid 🙄

A.W Tozer gives a framework of our spiritual reality! Loved it so so much🙌

A. W Tozer knew what it meant to have a relational and experiential relationship with God and how he beautifully gives of a picture of what should be as opposed to what it. For those desirous to step in through the torn veil and behold the majesty that is behind the veil - the very God Himself in spirit and truth.
