Editorial reviews

In a sense, Christian pastor Aiden Wilson Tozer wrote The Pursuit of God (1948) to pick up where the Bible left off. In this audiobook Tozer aims to teach faithful listeners the "art of worship". In a performance that evokes the friendly, heartfelt voice of a great pastor, Mark Moseley serves up spiritual guidance for Christians who seek to become more devout and to develop a closer, more personal relationship with God. According to Tozer, "man must pursue God", and Moseley's sincere performance inspires listeners to do so. Perhaps one does not always need to visit a church to find a spiritual mentor.

Publisher's summary

During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, and when the train arrived at his destination, the rough draft was done. The depth of this book has made it an enduring favorite.

Seek and you shall find.

After years of Bible study, following my new birth, I can say that this brief work resonates with God's Spirit within me more than any of the innumerable books about life and love I have encountered. I will read this again right away and often. Here is the next step in your growth. May God similarly bless you.

Food for thought

States very well that we all are so busy, that sometimes we forget where we are going.

Powerful... Sublime...

I love this book. I use it as part of my yearly devotionals.

This is the first time I go through the audio book and I really enjoyed it.

The narration was passionate and powerful. It was fantastic and I felt like it added a new dimension to the book.

I highly recommend this audio book.

Profound Christianity is profoundly simple

This book is simply the true heart of worship to God and the essence of Christians' holy life. Sometimes we can complicate our Christian walk by practices and rituals. This book always bring me back to the unity of my heart with Jesus.

Impactful

Humbling, instructive and cause for much reflection. Written by a man who was truly holy and would never have acknowledged it. It really needs to be read as well, to allow for highlighting and introspection.
