Tozer would have been the first to acknowledge that The Pursuit of God was never intended to be the last word in Christian spirituality. Rather, he saw himself more like the figure Christian in John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress , pointing others in the right direction, and getting them started on the way. The Pursuit of God was envisioned as an invitation, a beginning, designed to encourage those with a thirst for God to move ahead. Tozer’s intent was that such seekers would, like himself, tap into the much larger reservoirs of spiritual wisdom and guidance that are such a valued part of the inheritance of the saints.
