Instruction for problems common to all humanity

This book is a good introduction to the thoughts of A.W. Tozer, an influential pastor in Chicago. The format of the book makes it easy to carry in a purse or pocket. Each page has a title, a quote from Tozer, and a related Bible verse. It would make a great gift for a young person, a person seeking spiritual guidance, a seeker, or someone wanting to know more about Christianity. The layout is decorative and attractive. It would be a good gift for someone in a hospital or nursing home or who needs encouragement. Each page has a digestible devotional theme. I like such books for times when I need a quick word of wisdom during a rushed day, or to keep by my bedside for a last devotional thought each day. Here is one sample page: "Trust and Obey. Salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred Scriptures.(Tozer) Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. 1 John 3:24." In Touch Ministries has a profile on Tozer from which I quote: "Although A. W. Tozer died in 1963, his life and spiritual legacy continue to draw many into a deeper knowledge of God. Tozer walked a path in his spiritual life that few attempt, characterized by a relentless and loving pursuit of God. He longed to know more about the Savior-how to serve and worship Him with every part of his being. Throughout his life and ministry, Tozer called believers to return to an authentic, biblical position that characterized the early church-a position of deep faith and holiness. "He belonged to the whole church," says James Snyder in the book, In Pursuit of God: The Life Of A. W. Tozer. "He embraced true Christianity wherever he found it." During his lifetime, Tozer pastored several Christian and Missionary Alliance churches, authored more than forty books, and served as editor of Alliance Life, the monthly denominational publication for the C & MA. At least two of Tozer's books are considered spiritual classics, The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy-a tremendous accomplishment for a man who never received a formal theological education. The presence of God was his classroom. His notebooks and tools consisted of prayer and the writings of early Christians and theologians-the Puritans and great men of faith." As a pastor, I've found that many people will not read a lengthy book of theology, but perhaps with such an introduction to this man, they may pick up another of Tozer's books.

Reviewing the review

I am bothered by the review from dn@microtek.fr. Everyone has a right to his own opinion, but I think this is just vicious anti-Christian retoric. Mr. Tozer is a prolific writer and has several 5 star ratings. Please see the "All Books" list before judging this book only by what this man says.
