God came in the flesh to show us what love looks like. To truly see
the dynamics of this love, we must take a close look at Jesus's
relationships while he was here on earth. How he loved then is how
he loves now, and how he loves now is how we as believers are to
love. No Greater Love is a study of Jesus's interactions with
people throughout the book of John, including Nicodemus, the woman
at the well, and even the Pharisees. What did this love look like
in action, especially with those who are hard to love? As it turns
out, he didn't love people because they deserved it; he loved them
because he is love. With the great tragedies in our culture today
there is a need for this "Jesus love" that's available to all
believers. May this book help you better know his love for
you--which, in the end, will lead you to becoming more like him.
How can I know God's will for me, personally? It's a question that
haunts us all at times--maybe when we're looking for the right job,
thinking about moving to a new city, or deciding whether or not to
get married. At every stage we have difficult decisions to make,
and we long for God's direction and his warm reassurance that we're
heading the right way. A Cloud by Day, a Fire by Night captures
Tozer's teaching on the will of God taken from sermons he preached
just before he left his successful church in Chicago. Tozer was no
stranger to facing difficult decisions, and his wisdom and biblical
insight will help guide you in decisions of your own. The title
comes from the story of God leading his people out of Egypt into
the promised land. In the same way, let this book help reveal where
he is leading and reassure you that he will be by your side every
step of the way.
The purpose of this book is to bring together in one convenient
volume some of the best devotional verse the English language
affords, and thus to make available to present day Christians a
rich spiritual heritage which the greater number of them for
various reasons do not now enjoy. I have not hesitated to apply the
term "mystical" to the material I have collected here, though I
readily admit that fewer than half a dozen of the men and women who
would be called true mystics in the strict classical sense will be
found here. Such names as Eckhart, Ruysbroeck, John of the Cross,
Teresa, Rolle, Tauler, Hilton, Francis of Assisi, for instance, are
not represented in this volume at all. On the other hand the
frequent appearance of such a man as Watts might cause the reader
to lift a questioning eyebrow and ask, "Is Watts also among the
mystics?" Well, the answer must be, Of course he is, and so are
John Newton and James Montgomery and Reginald Heber and Charles
Wesley, as well as many others who might have balked at being
called mystics but whose writings, nevertheless, reveal
unmistakable traces of purest mysticism and are the better for it.
And for that matter the same thing may be said of the inspired
writings of such men as Moses and David and Isaiah and Daniel and
Paul and John, the works of the latter showing more than traces of
the mystical spirit, being indeed charged full with it. Wilder

The Pursuit of God: This book is a modest attempt to aid God's
hungry children so to find Him. Nothing here is new except in the
sense that it is a discovery which my own heart has made of
spiritual realities most delightful and wonderful to me. Others
before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than I
have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there
may be those who can light their candle at its flame.-A. W. Tozer
My acquaintance with the author is limited to brief visits and
loving fellowship in his church. There I discovered a self-made
scholar, an omnivorous reader with a remarkable library of
theological and devotional books, and one who seemed to burn the
midnight oil in pursuit of God. His book is the result of long
meditation and much prayer. It is not a collection of sermons. It
does not deal with the pulpit and the pew but with the soul athirst
for God. The chapters could be summarized in Moses' prayer, "Show
me thy glory," or Paul's exclamation, "O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" It is theology not of the
head but of the heart.
