The Pursuit of God

“to speak himself out to his creation.” This new edition artfully updates the “thee” and “thou” language of the original work for contemporary readers, conveying Tozer’s message while losing none of its meaning and majesty. In doing so, Glen Scorgie offers a priceless gift to a new generation of Christians. ~ Glenn E. Myers, PhD, Professor of Church History and Theological Studies, Crown College Scorgie’s winsome and inviting re-presentation of Tozer’s The Pursuit of God will resonate with new generations of spiritual seekers who need what Tozer, a modern mystic, clearly and forcefully identified as what really matters—authentic meeting with, knowing, loving, and uniting with God. The reader will appreciate being introduced to Tozer as by a friend, learn about the context of Tozer’s words from a scholar’s framing and footnotes, and be helped to a fuller prayer life through the guidance of Tozer-inspired supplemental resources. Read and be caught up in desire for God! ~ Rev. Douglas S. Hardy, PhD, Professor of Spiritual Formation, Nazarene Theological Seminary For over twenty-five years, as a friend of Dr. Glen Scorgie, I have often heard him mention Tozer’s life and work. Whenever he speaks of Tozer, it is with profound admiration and appreciation. His infectious enthusiasm is hard to resist, making Glen’s insightful understanding of Tozer a compelling invitation to revisit his works. Many Tozer enthusiasts consider Glen the ideal guide to deepen their understanding of Tozer’s life message. Following in Tozer’s footsteps as a faithful servant of God, Scorgie encourages his students to approach God with clear minds, to love him, and to discover ultimate fulfillment by truly abiding in him. I highly recommend this newly edited version of The Pursuit of God for Christian leaders seeking profound spiritual nourishment and insightful guidance in their journey. ~ Rev. Albert Lam, DMin, Senior Pastor, Chinese Bible Church of San Diego
