The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer
Tozer lived in the age before the internet, and up to a little after after World War II. Against the backdrop of the modern era of business - he perceived in the Church at large, a sleepiness descending, an apathy over the bride of Christ over matters such as prayer, over matters of living in the very grace of God, over matters of intimacy.
This very short book in electronic format was the result of the man's anguish and travailing, a much beloved treasure of the modern church and a personal favourite of mine, dealing with the subject of spiritual hunger, without which, the spiritual life is all but lost.
The book forms a complete compliment to AB Simpon's teaching on Himself, which emphasises the nature of our relationship with Christ, Andrew Murray's book on the need to empty of the self life and pride which destroys all it touches, to form that required humility of a servant and AW Tozer completes this set with the need to cry out for more of a hunger for God.
May these spiritual giants be a blessing to you as they were in their day firebrands in the hands of God. May God also raise up firebrands in like Spirit, able to speak and stand strong as Elijah in his day, and also for us in our generation.
