In a little book that's hard to swallow, A. W. Tozer teaches plainly who the Spirit is, why we should desire Him, but why few of us do. He instructs us in how to be filled with the Spirit, but first poses this question: Do you really want to be filled?

A. W. Tozer earned a legendary reputation as a prophetic voice, and he continues to be a best-selling author half a century after his death. A preacher at heart, he found his greatest joy in practicing the presence of God. Worship was his focus and his passion.

In an age of spectacle and opulence, we've lost sight of sacrifice and obedience. In this never-before-published compilation of teachings, A. W. Tozer turns to Bible passages and stories like Abraham and Isaac, unpacking them to reveal spiritual truths crucial to a lifetime of fruitfulness and power: unwavering obedience.

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.

"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."

One of the twentieth century's most inspiring writers has become a powerful voice for twenty-first-century Christians. Thanks to a treasure trove of teachings from A. W. Tozer, author of the spiritual classic The Pursuit of God, you can spend an entire year strengthening your daily walk with God. Each devotion includes a passage of Scripture, a short reading from Tozer, a hymn verse, and a prayer.

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.

In this book of never-before-published content, A. W. Tozer draws from the life and ministry of Paul as laid out in his epistles to show us how to identify our true enemy, recognize who we are in Christ, and live victoriously as carriers of the Light in a world ensnared by the forces of darkness. In a time when we find ourselves constantly pitted against one another in social and political battles, we must understand that our enemy is not the person standing next to us or the one we're arguing with online.

We are heirs to the king, and Tozer wants us to reclaim our heritage. Return again and again to Tozer’s 12 sermons that will bring you into a deeper life of love and maturity in Jesus Christ.

To have found God and still seek Him is a love paradox, rejected by the too-easy-satisfied religious person, but justified by the offspring of the flaming heart in happy experience. This heavenly contradiction was expressed by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in a musical four-line poem that will be quickly grasped by every worshiping soul.

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.

A Disruptive Faith is A. W. Tozer's teaching on what he termed "faith that perturbs"—faith that contradicts the unbelieving man and threatens the complacency of the Christian.

Listeners will learn to be content with this faith-inspired discontent and to experience a fresh hope for eternity with God.
