Publisher's summary

Poverty of soul has but one relief.

The essence of the Christian life is communion with God. To neglect him is to neglect the fount of the living, to toil and sweat from a thirsty heart. In this collection of short essays, Tozer calls us from the deserts we wander to the life we need: Christ Jesus the Lord.

For the Christian eager to bear fruit - the busy one bearing little, the young one wanting growth, or the older growing weak - The Root of the Righteous is indispensable. Incisive and encouraging, Tozer heaps truth upon truth to help you live the nourished life.

The Root of the Righteous is a favorite among fans of Tozer. In every chapter, his penetrating wisdom will help you cultivate a pure heart, a full spirit, and a life that bears fruit, all as you abide in God.

it is Tozer so all that matters is the good narration which is great here... IMHO

the chapters are short so listening on shorter drives works really well

Trimming My Sails -spirituality

I found this great for "trimming my sails." There are misconceptions passes around as truthful but often it's dis-information. Clearly, this guy has spent time at the Master's feet.

Worth listening to…

Worth listening to over and over. One of Gods greatest prophets since the completion of the Holy Canon of Scripture, sets the church ablaze in the Holy Spirit.

One of Tozer’s best!

Honestly, some of Tozer’s comments are hard to swallow, but they’re biblically sound. Doesn’t mean we should shy away from listening to his perspective. As a result of this audio version, I’ve decided to get the hardcopy because some of this work is so powerful. Especially the last chapter where he lays out basically the life of a Christian. Strongly recommend this to those who need encouragement in their faith and challenge in their Spiritual growth.
