Publisher Description
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 that will be instantly understood by every worshipping soul:
We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread,
And long to feast upon Thee still:
We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
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 pursuit of God spur you also into a genuine hunger and thirst to truly know God.

Customer Reviews
Incredible
To the Christian who wants to experience God’s presence and the relationship we are to have with God I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you have felt dry in your faith, disconnected from God and have realized that you love of the gifts more than the giver, this book is for you.
