A soul-searching reflection on spirituality, A. W. Tozer’s The Pursuit of God has been regarded as a classic Christian work since its publication in 1948. Tozer, a beloved, self-taught pastor, implores the reader to let go of material comforts to best cultivate a deeper spiritual life focused on the teachings of Christ. Tozer and his wife were firm practitioners of what he preached; the couple never owned a car and despite the success he found as a Christian writer, never profited greatly, as he donated much of his royalties to those in need.

Tozer’s The Pursuit of God is a spiritual meditation of timeless importance that has encouraged generations of readers to live more simply and deepen their relationships with God.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from iconic authors. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or revisit an old favorite, these new editions open the door to the stories and ideas that have shaped our world.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Pursuit of God, this edition of The Pursuit of God (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

About the Author:

Born into poverty in La Jose, Pennsylvania, A. W. Tozer (1897–1963) converted to Christianity in 1914 and was offered a role as pastor of his own church just five years later—despite no formal theological training. This was the start of a forty-four-year career as a Protestant Evangelical, thirty of those years spent as the pastor at the Southside Alliance Church in Chicago. The author of the Christian classics The Pursuit of God (1948) and The Knowledge of the Holy (1961), Tozer was also elected editor of the Christian and Missionary Alliance’s magazine, Alliance Weekly, in 1950. He is credited with more than sixty religious titles, many of which were compiled after his death.
