Publisher Description

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.

In this classic bestseller, The Pursuit of God reminds and challenges you to renew your relationship with your loving God. In each of the 10 chapters, Tozer explains one aspect of hungering for God and ends with a prayer."

    " I thought the book had excellent content! I read it really slow as to get past all the wordiness and dwell on the ideas in the book. That worked great for me! Just a note that the book is definitely 'wordy' and not an 'easy' read. BUT, I wouldn't let that stop you from reading it- just go slow! :) "
