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
Excellent excellent book
This book held my attention as well as was challenging and intriguing at the same time. I am certain that I will reread in a few years as a reminder of how to honestly pursue God. It’s excellent as it helps the reader to probe himself in an honest manner and gives a perspective on what bonds us to secular life. Read it.
Refreshing View
This book confirms want our heart wants. A deep relationship with our Lord.
Extremely reflective
I read a chapter of this while I breastfed my baby to sleep every night. It was a really good read. The prayers were beautifully put and the overall call to pursue God was not only theologically sound, but they warmed my Christian heart in a way I hadn’t had in a long time!
