The Pursuit of God

The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer is a spiritual classic, first published in 1948. This devotional work delves into the deep longing of the human soul for a more profound relationship with God. It invites readers to explore what it means to cultivate that relationship through spiritual hunger, faith, and personal experience.

At the start of the book, Tozer emphasizes the intrinsic human desire to seek God, arguing that this pursuit is initiated by divine grace. He stresses the need for believers to experience God personally rather than merely accepting him through doctrine alone.

Drawing on biblical references and the experiences of historical figures, Tozer challenges complacency in faith and calls for a sincere longing after God - a theme that resonates throughout the book. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how to foster a genuine connection with the divine, urging readers to strip away distractions and focus on their spiritual hunger.
