Tozer's book is an inspiring journey into the Father's revelation of Himself. In this first of two books on the subject, the author invites us to look more deeply into God's grace, mercy, justice, holiness and goodness, among other things. Each chapter is centered around appropriate Scripture and enables the reader to refocus on the essential character of God. Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897-1963) began his "pursuit of God" at the age of 17. With no formal Bible training, Tozer became pastor of Southside Alliance in Chicago in 1928. He was pastor there for thirty years. He was also the editor of Alliance Weekly. Many of his articles and sermons have been compiled and published as books.
