Our view
“The Pursuit of God” is a short, fervent classic of Christian devotion, written by a busy Chicago pastor about longing for a closer life with God. A. W. Tozer writes from the heart and keeps his eye on practice, which makes the book a natural starting point for readers who want to live their faith more deliberately. Some readers find its dense church vocabulary hard going, even while valuing what it says.

About the book
Here is a masterly study of the inner life by a heart thirsting after God, eager to grasp at least the outskirts of His ways, the abyss of His love for sinners, and the height of His unapproachable majesty—and it was written by a busy pastor in Chicago!
