My Daily Pursuit

 

     BOOK REVIEW:   Daily wisdom for a fully committed walk with God.  Thanks to this treasure trove of teachings from Tozer, you can spend an entire year learning to go deeper in your relationship with our Lord. Each of these 365 devotions includes a passage of Scripture, a short reading, a hymn verse, and a prayer. 

     As Tozer wrote, "The mightiest thought the mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightiest word in any language is its word of God." Let this great man of faith challenge your heart and mind to truer worship, greater faith, and a deeper passion for Christ. 

     MY REVIEW:   I always enjoy Tozer's writings, especially devotionals that are compiled from his writings. This book has the unique addition of a hymn title with each day. The writings themselves are taken from his sermons, not his published works. The goal of the book is "to stir up in the hearts of serious-minded Christians such a passion for God. My prayer is that Tozer will inspire you in your daily pursuit."

     I have not read through the book, but paged through and found some quotes to share: 

"We have a mistaken notion that God shows mercy because Jesus died. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.... It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us the mercy of God."

"The higher a man thinks of himself, the less he appreciates the grace of God."

"Get to know God, and then you can serve Him in a way that is pleasing unto Him. And brother, if it pleases God, it will certainly please you." 

This book says it's a 365-Day devotional, but it actually has 366 days with February 29. The daily readings are short. The pages are a little smaller than standard books, and about half of each page is taken up with the scripture verse, hymn title, and short prayer. This leaves half of a page for the inspiration from Tozer. 

I received this book from BETHANY PUBLISHERS and was not required to give a positive review.
