About this book

A carefully prepared print edition.

First published in 1948, The Pursuit of God is A. W. Tozer’s passionate meditation on the soul’s longing for divine presence. Written with urgency, reverence, and plain spiritual intensity, the book challenges readers to move beyond outward religion and seek God with the whole heart.

Across its brief but searching chapters, Tozer reflects on surrender, faith, humility, prayer, spiritual receptivity, and the danger of allowing religious activity to replace living communion with God. His prose is direct and devotional rather than academic, drawing readers into self-examination and renewed hunger for holiness.

Beloved by generations of Christian readers, The Pursuit of God remains a powerful work for those drawn to devotional theology, spiritual formation, and the deeper life of faith.
