De: A. W. Tozer

Narrado por: Dennis Rowley

In the four works collected here, A.W. Tozer exhorts the faithful to develop a deeper understanding of God and a closer relationship with Him. Through prayer, meditation, study, and a close adherence to the scriptures, Tozer shows that a powerful spiritual life is available to all who seek it.

A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) spent his career as a pastor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. He received no formal education after his youth, instead working as a laborer. Coming home one day as a teen, he heard a street preacher say, "If you don't know how to be saved...just call on God, saying 'Lord be merciful to me a sinner.'" This call began a life devoted to Christ. He also became a well-loved Christian writer, publishing books and articles for magazines like Christian Life and Alliance Weekly.

Throughout all his writings, Tozer focused on the fundamentals of Christianity, always supported by the scriptures. He consistently eschewed complexity. Instead, he always returned to simple prayer and worship as the path to God.

The Pursuit of God is one of Tozer's best-loved books. Considered a Christian classic, it seeks to bridge the gap between an understanding of the Biblical fundamentals and the all-consuming feeling of a deeper Presence. Once a Christian begins to pursue God, Tozer says, he will find that God's love is in fact pursuing him right back.

Keys to the Deeper Life includes four of Tozer's essays on the spiritual lives of his fellow Christians.

How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit is a collection of four of Tozer's sermons that explore the nature of the third element of the Holy Trinity.

The Christian Book of Mystical Verse is a collection of hymns, verses, and poetry curated by Tozer.
