Happy 125th Birthday to A.W. Tozer

Happy 125th Birthday to A.W. Tozer! This week we are celebrating his birthday by discounting some of his most beloved titles. Learn more about him below. Who was A.W. Tozer? A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) began his pursuit of God at the age of seventeen after hearing a street preacher in Akron, Ohio. A self-taught theologian, Tozer was a pastor, writer and editor whose powerful use of words continues to grip the intellect and stir the soul of today’s reader. Today his legacy continues as his words are still as relevant today as they were fifty years ago. New! Pursuit of God (Audio) This beloved classic by A.W. Tozer is for the spiritually dissatisfied, for the passionate, for the hungry. If you are content wading in the “shallows” while bearing no passion to glorify God and enjoy Him forever – then this book is not for you. 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 listening to the Pursuit of God will intoxicate you. 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. Pursuit of God (Text) The Pursuit of God is the enduring Christian classic written by renowned pastor and theologian A.W. Tozer. More than 65 years later, the words Tozer penned on a train from Illinois to Texas echo across the decades to resonate with power in the heart of anyone longing for a deeper experience with God. This devotional masterpiece is at once thought-provoking and spirit-enlivening, an invitation to think deeply about your faith even as you come alive to God’s presence surrounding, sustaining and–yes–pursuing you. “This book is a modest attempt,” Tozer wrote, “to aid God’s children so to find Him.” If you are hungry, The Pursuit of God will lead you to the only One who can satisfy the soul. A.W. Tozer Study Bible “The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.” —A. W. Tozer Key writings of one of the twentieth century’s most profound Christian authors are married with the scriptures that A. W. Tozer loved, studied and wrote about over the course of his forty-year ministry. Hendrickson Publishers is proud to introduce the A. W. Tozer Study Bible Notes, which will introduce a whole generation of readers to his work. Tozer, a pastor, preacher, student and teacher, is perhaps the closest American writer to C. S. Lewis, with the same penetrating insights and straightforward use of language. His bracing words unlock many of the mysteries of the Scriptures in language that could have been written today.
