Overview

During a train trip from Chicago in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to work on The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night long, the words coming to him as fast as he could put them down. By the next morning, when the train pulled into McAllen, Texas, the rough draft was done.

Although written in such a remarkably short period of time, the depth, clarity and completeness of A.W. Tozer's message has made The Pursuit of God an enduring favorite-over a million copies are now in print in 20 languages.

The complete text of this classic has been divided into 31 daily meditations. Quotations from some of Tozer's more than 40 works and from other contemporary and classic authors enhance the text. Prepare yourself for a deeply meaningful and enjoyable experience.
