    About this audiobook

    To have found God and still to pursue Him is a paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religious person, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stated this holy paradox in a musical four-line poem.

    Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. Let A. W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God spur you also into a genuine hunger and thirst to truly know God.

      Is Your Identity In Jesus, Or In The World?

      Oct 21, 2019

      I was born a Jew, but was not raised Jewish. My dad is a messianic Jew, and my mom is not Jewish. I very clearly remember at the age of five asking the Lord to forgive my sins and accepting the grace that He offers through Jesus Christ on the Cross.

      Truths about our relationship with God that make me more aware of letting God be in charge and giving my heart and my life to Him to worship Him in all I do. This will never be outdated material.

    • 2/5
      This book is hard to review.

      PROS
      - Good theology

      - Important exhortations, although it is not clear at all to which church he is speaking (to Europe, to America, or even including Asia?).

      - He correctly criticizes the Roman Catholic Church, but throughout the whole book he over and over endorses specifically Roman Catholics. This is hypocrisy at its finest. We could argue that he often endorsed Catholics who lived before the Reformation, but even those had not been ordinary Catholics of a still 'unified' church, but those with very particular connections to the Pope.

      CONS
      - He positively quoted the Chinese sage Laotze (Laozi, a supreme deity in Daoism, wrote the foundational text of Taoism and is generally considered its founder).

      - Repeated endorsement of Augustine, one of the greatest antichrists in history ( responsible for -most- of Catholicism's doctrines and practices, doctor of the RCC, patriarch Calvinism, Apocrypha, doctrine of persecution, amillennialism, infant baptism, tithing, marital sex is sinful, ransom-theory, Jesus had no brothers et al).

      - Repeated endorsement of Francis of Assisi (Italian mystic, poet and Catholic friar who founded the religious order of the Franciscans)

      - Endorsement of saint Bernard of Clairvaux (abbot, mystic, co-founder of the Knights Templar, a Catholic order)

      - Endorsement of Nicholas of Cusa (appointed cardinal for his merits by Pope Nicholas V in 1448, in 1459, he became vicar general in the Papal States.)

      - Endorsement of Frederick William Faber (a noted English hymnwriter and theologian, who converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism in 1845, ordained to the Catholic priesthood in 1847)

      - He promoted the book 'The Cloud of Unknowing', which is Mysticism. He made also several allusions to Catholic Mysticism throughout the book.
    • 5/5
      This book will definitely challenge you to seek The Most High for deeper!
