Biographie de l'auteur :
A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) was an American Christian pastor, preacher, author, magazine editor, Bible conference speaker, and spiritual mentor. For his work, he received two honorary doctorate degrees. Among the more than 40 books that he authored, at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy. His books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God. Living a simple and non-materialistic lifestyle, he and his wife, Ada Cecelia Pfautz, never owned a car, preferring bus and train travel. Even after becoming a well-known Christian author, Tozer signed away much of his royalties to those who were in need. Tozer had seven children, six boys and one girl. He was buried in Ellet Cemetery, Akron, Ohio, with a simple epitaph marking his grave: "A. W. Tozer - A Man of God." Prayer was of vital personal importance for Tozer. His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life. He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
This simple book penned 50 years ago by "a busy pastor in Chicago" is wrought with spiritual wisdom for the Christian who is truly hungry for God. Tozer does not write for the person who seeks to build a mountain of knowledge in homage to his god, though he does indeed share entire ranges worth of self-taught knowledge. No, he writes to the Christians "whose religious lives are marked by a growing hunger after God Himself." Christians whose hunger cannot be satisfied in mere ink, paper, and diploma but in true intimate personal experience with the Creator of the Universe, Author of Salvation, Shepherd of our Souls. "This book is a modest attempt to aid God's hungry children so to find Him. Nothing here is new except in the sense that it is a discovery which my own heart has made of spiritual realities most delightful and wonderful to me. Others before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there may be those who can light their candle at its flame." - A.W. Tozer, 1948
