Rating:  Summary: The Best Sort of Required Reading Review: This book is desperately needed by Christians in this day and age. Tozer takes us to the very feet of God for 31 chapters (each brief and vibrant) and instructs us from his many visits there.This book will challenge and change you in a very profound way. Rather than give you "10-steps" to this or "6-keys" to that, Tozer rebuilds your foundation into a biblical view of God Almighty. He strips away misconsceptions and provides insightful perspectives on God's character and characteristics. This is not an *easy* book. I'd label it's style "read a sentence, take a nap," but wrestling with these ideas will grow you like it's grown me. Warning: your "god" is way too small! Read Tozer's book to see and celebrate the grandeur and goodness of God.
Rating:  Summary: One of the Best Review: This book is one of the best I have read - it helped me tremendously to learn what God is about, Who He is and Where He is. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more!
Rating:  Summary: Great to reveal if you really worship the God of Heaven. Review: This book reveals the importance of growing in the knowledge of God. If you do not know Him, you cannot worship Him. If you do not worship Him, who do you worship? This book not only helps you to grow in the knowledge of God, but to focus on Him. It has changed my thinking about God considerably.
Rating:  Summary: A life-changing book... but not for the faint of heart Review: This book, first published in 1961, two years before the author's death, is, in my opinion, the most compact, and power packed vision of God ever to be put to paper in the last 50 years. In the edition I own, Tozer wrote a foreword in which he makes the statement that he wrote the book on his knees in prayer -- He needn't have told us this; the aware reader will sense the fact as soon as he or she reads the first four pages! Although this is a fairly small (and short) book, it is not one that can be read quickly. Each chapter, though less than 10 pages long apiece, must be savored, read slowly and meditated upon. (I should know. I received this book as a Christmas present in 1992 and did not finish it until October 1993.) There are several reasons for this. One is that the book, though written in fairly contemporary English, is written in a highly academic style which most modern readers find difficult to read easily. Modern American readers should be careful on this point. The primary reason for the book's difficultly however, is the sheer Presence of God which the reader encounters on every page. Beware -- to open the covers of this book and search its pages is to tread upon holy ground. It is to walk in the cloud at Sinai with Moses; it is to be standing at Horeb in the mouth of the cave with Elijah as the Lord passes by in a gentle breeze; it is to be with Peter on the Mount of Transfiguration, and it is to feel the earth shake beneath your feet with the guards at the Garden Tomb as the stone is rolled away. Each chapter begins with a prayer for a divinely imparted understanding of that which cannot be conceived by the human mind. It then goes on to discuss a specific attribute of God, attempting to define what each is, what each is not, and the application and impact these have on our daily lives. If you are ready for a devotional experience that will change your life, GET THIS BOOK ... but only if you have some time free to really absorb its awesome truths. This book changed my life and my perspective of God forever, and if you read it slowly and prayerfully, it will change yours as well.
Rating:  Summary: A must read Review: This is one of the best books on the attributes of God ever written; it's a classic. I was introduced to it almost 30 years ago and it is still one of my favorite books. I reread it every so often. The chapters are short but very thought provoking.
Rating:  Summary: excellent book Review: This is one of the finest books I have read on the attributes of God. It cleary explains the trinity. This book puts into perspective the question "What do you think when you think of God?"
Rating:  Summary: A man of insight Review: This is the first Tozer book I have read. I was very impressed with his spiritual insight and highly recommend this book as a timeless classic. I've just placed an order for a few more.
Rating:  Summary: A BOOK FOR THE DEPTHS OF THE DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE... Review: This surely is Dr.Tozer's classic work on the deeper, spiritual life of the Christian. Anyone who wants to "go on with God to perfection" and longs to know God FOR WHO HE IS, (not just what one can "receive" from God), should read this book at least once or twice or thrice. There are few today (or yesterday) who can equal the power of the pen of Dr.Tozer when he focuses on his favorite life's passion: To KNOW the depths and the heights of the Infinite and Holy and Eternal GOD of Love and Moral Purity. My highest recommendation. LenBenHear. - Seeker and teacher.

Rating:  Summary: amazed by stlye and truth Review: to be perfectly fair this is the most well-writen book i have read all year. The attempt by the author to communicate the incommunicable was certainly valiant. and through his efforts we can be spurred on to pursue our own personal experience and knowledge of the great God of the universe.
