“Dr. Tozer repeatedly warned us that the best books aren’t the ones that do our thinking for us, but the ones that make us stop and think and then look deeper into the Scriptures.” (Volume 1, Page vii)

“We are accountable to the One from whose heart we came and who laid His laws upon us.” (Volume 1, Page 1)

“You actually would not believe some of the gross misinterpretations which have been placed upon this teaching in order to get people to part with money for religious purposes.” (Volume 1, Page 217)

“The Apostle Paul talked about the carnal Christians of Corinth, and he labored and prayed and wept over the carnality of those Christians. This describes most evangelicals today: carnal, immature, without miracles, without wonders, lacking a wonderful sense of the presence of the Lord, held together by social activities and nothing else.” (Volume 1, Page 36)

“Such work is a snare because it keeps us busy and at the same time prevents us from discovering that it is our work and not God’s.” (Volume 1, Page 5)

About 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.
