“I want to deliberately encourage this mighty longing after God. I pray it may be so, and I invite you to read, prayerfully, this powerful passage from Tozer’s book: Perhaps we are seeing the tiny green sprouts of new revival in this time of such shaking. In light of the recent months of upheaval and vast questioning among Jesus-followers, I am praying that the simple hunger for the presence of God in our lives, and lived out in our communities, is re-emerging. He was self-educated and well-read, driven not by fame, wealth, prestige or achievement but by the simple hunger to know and love God that is so evident in his book.Īs I read the following passage I could not help but feel that the words he wrote here were calling out “the beginning of an age” of the American church in the post-war years for which we are at now the end. It is said, by his publisher, that he literally wrote the book on his knees in prayer. He never completed high school, let alone any college. Tozer wrote his now classic book The Pursuit of God in 1948 while serving in ministry in Chicago.
