pleasures and pursuits. In this never-before-published compilation

the devil from taking advantage of you · walk closely and
confidently with God The vanity of this world is great, but we
serve a God greater still. Here is the wisdom and biblical insight
you need to resist the devil and stand firm on holy ground.
Who was ultimately responsible for sentencing Jesus to death on
the cross? Can we ever be good enough for God? Do all "religious"
people go to heaven?
In "Who Put Jesus on the Cross?" A.W. Tozer examines some of the
most difficult questions of the Christian faith. His indictment of
lackluster belief forms the cornerstone of his appeal as he asks
the reader what it really costs to be a Christian.
Tozer inspires conviction that will have you digging deep within
your heart to newly realize the meaning of Christ's death and
resurrection and discover the "Word of God as the foundation of our
peace and rest."

to holiness. The Pursuit of God is an enduring classic that is sure

Purpose of Man is a call to worship as God reprioritizes your life
and fills your soul. The Crucified Life will lead you to the cross

teach you who God is, who you are, and how to live accordingly. In
the end, understanding these truths will bring you deeper into
God's presence and open up the life he wants for you.
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

What's Keeping Your Prayers from Being Effective? Learning how to
pray is one of the greatest challenges in a Christian's life. A.W.
Tozer pointed out that the Church's greatest curse is unanswered
prayer, and that many people do not seem bothered by that. Maybe
they don't understand what answered prayer is all about. Tozer
outlines this as only he can, describing the kind of prayer God
answers and the kind of prayer that leaves Him silent. Ultimately,
you have to ask yourself: are my prayers today more powerful and
effective than they were a year ago? Our good Father wants them to
be! The book opens with Jacob's Ladder and its theme of ascending
into God's very presence. What better place to begin dialoging with
God? Only He can teach us what is on His heart, what His will is,
and what our part in it could be.
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.
