I wasn't as blown away as I'd hoped. There were things I liked and some that really didn't resonate with me (probably the Arminian flavor) ( ) This was a very good book - one I'll keep on my shelf for years to come, I'm sure. The first half in particular did really increase my desire to know God more intimately. There was one chapter that talked about the Voice of God that seemed to state that the Bible isn't the only way to hear God's voice, and I feel that many may misinterpret this to mean that they don't need to verify what they hear with the Bible and be sure that the two are aligned, since the Bible is the only revealed Word of God. Tozer clarified in a later chapter that we are to refer to the Bible, but it was brief and could be easily overlooked, especially since it was in an entirely different chapter. Certainly, God speaks with a still, small voice, in the Spirit, but if what we hear is in any way contradictory to what the Bible plainly teaches, we are not hearing the Spirit of God speaking, but an evil Spirit - the Bible teaches to discern the Spirits, and we do this with the Bible. So for that reason, I gave only four stars. Other than that one issue, this book is stellar. 4.5 An excellent read. Very short, almost laid out like a devotional, but there's a lot to unpack and I took my time with it. The language can be archaic, and could be a struggle for some, but I think it's generally more accessible than a lot of Lewis' writing. So if you get on with him, you'll likely get on with this. A lot of what is laid out here is simple at its heart, but also profound. Highly recommended. I'm sure I will return to it.
The is my favouraite book, my best book. God bless AWTozer

During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940's, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit Of God. He wrote all night, the words coming to him as fast as he could put them down. When the train pulled into McAllen, the rough draft was done. Although written in such a remarkably short period of time, Tozer's passionate classic offers not only a deeper understanding of Biblical Truth, but a personal encounter with the very Source of that Truth.
