Like a physician running a biopsy on lifeless faith, here A. W. Tozer offers one of the most compelling critiques of feigned spirituality you may ever listen to. In Of God and Men, Tozer exposes false religious notions and lifts up true New Testament Christianity. A loving and gentle critique of culture and even the church, it reveals lies we unknowingly believe, godless practices we unknowingly do, and treasures of Christ we unknowingly ignore.

Just as in our day, people under the teaching ministry of A. W. Tozer wondered about the end times. How should we read the book of Revelation? What does it mean for how believers live? In this book, today's Christians can learn from one of the twentieth-century church's most profound thinkers and pastors.

In this edition you will find information about the life of AW Tozer. Aiden Wilson Tozer, better known as A.W. Tozer was a prominent Christian pastor, preacher, author, and spiritual mentor. He was born on April 21, 1897, in Pennsylvania, USA. Tozer's writings and sermons have had a profound influence on evangelical Christianity, particularly in the mid-20th century and continuing into the present day. Come investigate and learn about his life, his legacy, what he loved and so much more.

The church that lacks power first lacks obedience. Speaking of apathy toward obedience, A. W. Tozer says, "Until this is corrected, we can hope for very little power in our churches"...Obedience is what no revival, no reformation, and no Spirit-filled person has ever been without. It separates true faith from dead faith. It bears fruit and is followed by power. It is costly, but we cannot afford to withhold it.

"The Pursuit of God" is "a modest attempt to aid God's hungry children so to find Him" by A. W. Tozer. "We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit. 'No man can come to me,' said our Lord, 'except the Father which hath sent me draw him,' and it is by this very prevenient drawing that God takes from us every vestige of credit for the act of coming. The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him."

Tozer was a modern-day prophet. His call to the church was unequivocal: We must put Christ at the center of our lives and live for him and through him alone. He was an iconoclast among evangelicals. One who sought to please God and not man. In this way, he made many friends and many enemies. But everything that drove him was for the betterment of the human race in general and the church in particular.

En todo lugar y en cada instante se encuentra Él, quien mandó a su hijo para que porte el pecado del mundo. Gracias a este libro, seremos capaces de apreciar la cercanía de Dios con el hombre por medio de instrumentos divinos que permitieron su comunicación, así como darnos cuenta del entorno cada vez más moderno y superficial que nos rodea, para que evitemos las acciones que nos alejan de la presencia del Señor.

The little volume breathes a holy discontent with the merely formal and superficial aspects of organized Christianity. It tantalizes listeners with the possibility of replacing external religion with direct encounter with the very presence of God. This newly revised edition of The Pursuit of God faithfully expresses Tozer's original thoughts in slightly updated and more simplified modern language forms. It highlights Tozer's extensive use of Scripture and adds resources to help make study of this little classic of Christian spirituality genuinely transformational for contemporary listeners.

Within the last few years, a new method has been invented for imparting spiritual knowledge. Or, to be more accurate, it is not new at all, but it is an adaptation of a gadget of some years standing, one which by its origin and background belongs not to the Church but to the world. Some within the fold of the Church have thrown their mantle over it, have "blessed it with a text", and are now trying to show that it is the very gift of God for our day.

Originally published in 1948, Tozer's The Pursuit of God stands as an enduring favorite among Christian classics. In this uplifting listen from Apostle Audio and Kyle Tait, Tozer aims to unpack the truth, that to "find" God is only the beginning of a lifelong chase after the almighty creator.

Robert A. Jaffray was a citizen of no single country. From his early manhood he moved about over the face of the world—not aimlessly, but with clear intelligent purpose. He was an explorer, a pioneer, and this accounts for the gaps that will be found in this or any story of his life. He lived in too many places too far from each other to allow a closely woven biography to be written.

Tozer was a man who walked closely with God, who prayed often and shunned distraction, so he could gaze more purely upon his creator. In these daily meditations on Scripture, Tozer urges you to do the same. He will stir you toward humility and full surrender. He will expand your faith in a God so great that words fall short to describe him. He will nourish you with truth.

This beloved classic by A.W. Tozer is for the spiritually dissatisfied, for the passionate, for the hungry. If your hunger and thirst can only be satisfied by God himself, and the desire for the piercing sweetness of the love of Christ overrides all competing desires, then Pursuit of God will intoxicate you. You cannot afford to not listen to this book. Chapters include discussions on the bliss of following hard after God, the sacrament of living, the blessedness of possessing nothing, as well as the paradox of the simultaneous pursuit of God while being pursued by Him.

This article first appeared in The Alliance Weekly in 1946 and was reprinted in 1954. It has also been printed in virtually every English-speaking country on earth, has been put into tract form by various publishers, and still crops up now and then in the religious press. Its message is still needed and it expresses Dr. Tozer’s philosophy of the Christian life. If only this one message were heeded by all our listeners Dr. Tozer’s ministry would have been most profitable.

Some people object to taking vows, but in the Bible, you will find many great men of God directed by covenants, promises, vows, and pledges. The psalmist was not averse to the taking of vows: “Thy vows are upon me, O God,” he said. “I will render my praises unto thee” (Psalm 56:12). My counsel in this matter is that if you are really concerned about spiritual improvement - the gaining of new power, new life, new joy, and new personal revival within your heart - you will do well to make certain vows and proceed to keep them.

In this Christian classic, late pastor and evangelist A. W. Tozer brings the mystics to bear on modern spirituality, grieving the hustle and bustle and calling for a slow, steady gaze upon God. With prophetic vigor and flowing prose, he urges us to replace low thoughts of God with lofty ones, to quiet our lives so we can know God's presence. He reminds us that life apart from God is really no life at all.

Wingspread is the biography of A.B. Simpson, written by A.W. Tozer. A pastor and missionary, Simpson's work became what is now the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a denomination characterized by its Christ-centered teaching and emphasis on missions. Simpson's influence saw a convergence of Calvinistic doctrine with the holiness movements of the late 19th century.

Considered a mighty man of God by most Evangelicals today, A.W. Tozer was unconventional in his approach to spirituality and had no qualms about consulting everyone from Catholic Saints to German Protestant mystics for inspiration on how to experience God more fully.
