The Pursuit of God
by A. W. Tozer
Written on a train in 1948: following hard after God, the blessedness of possessing nothing, removing the veil, apprehending God, the universal presence, the speaking voice, restoring the Creator-creature relation. Short, fierce and devotional.
Read it if…
you want a short, intense classic on desire for God.

you want gentle; Tozer is not gentle.
Try instead: The Knowledge of the Holy →
Three things you will actually use
- God waits to be wanted.
- Possess nothing; be possessed.
- The veil is self; tear it.
Do this first
Read 'The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing'.
Our verdict
Short, fierce, devotional.
