God’s Pursuit of Man: The Divine Conquest of the Human Heart (audio)
Digital
Overview
This book formerly titled The DIVINE CONQUEST, was written as a sequel to THE PURSUIT OF GOD. Admitting to having been forced by inward pressure and an unbearable burden to write it, Tozer’s aim was to assure believers that if they want to know the power of Christ they must be invaded by God. “This little book of the spiritual way has not been ‘made’ in any mechanical sense, it has been born out of inward necessity … The sight of the languishing church around me and the operations of a new spiritual power within me have set up a pressure impossible to resist.” --A.W. Tozer.
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963) was a dynamic preacher, prolific writer, and a no-nonsense man of God. Aiden Wilson Tozer responded to the call of Christ at the age of 17. After becoming an active witness of Jesus as a lay preacher, he joined The Christian and Missionary Alliance and was soon serving as the pastor of West Virginia’s Alliance Church.
In 1928, he transferred to the Southside Alliance Church in Chicago where he served for 31 years. During that time he preached on the Moody Bible Institute’s radio station and was often invited to speak at Wheaton College in Pierce Chapel. Tozer spent the final years of his life as the pastor of Avenue Road Church in Toronto and the editor of The Alliance Life magazine.
Tozer authored over 40 books, including The Attributes of God, Volume One, Tozer on Christian Leadership, We Travel an Appointed Way, The Pursuit of God, and God’s Pursuit of Man.
