A.W. Tozer: Three Spiritual Classics in One Volume

"A.W. Tozer's: The Knowledge of the Holy,

The Pursuit of God,

God's Pursuit of Man"

What's better than having 3 of Tozer's most beloved classics in ONE volume?! Absolutely nothing tops it! This volume includes: The Knowledge of the Holy, The Pursuit of God, and God's Pursuit of Man. Many Christians are familiar with these books or at least have heard of them or run across quotes taken from these. But for those who haven't, I'll include the brief summaries of each located on the inside of the book jacket.

The Knowledge of the Holy

Published in 1961, approx. 191 pages

"...a much-much needed corrective to our small, unassuming thoughts about God. In this timeless study on the attributes of God, Tozer reacquaints us with His majesty, reminding us again what it truly means to encounter God and be in awe of Him."

The Pursuit of God

Published in 1948, approx. 118 pages

"...teaches us how to reclaim God's presence in a clamoring world. With prophetic vigor and flowing prose, Tozer decries the hustle and bustle of modern life and demonstrates that those who wish to experience God's closeness must first learn to be still."

God's Pursuit of Man

Approx. 132 pages

"...explains what it means to be truly saved-to be conquered by the Almighty God and invaded by His Spirit. To be saved is to be transformed, to be overcome. But as we are conquered by God, we become who we were always meant to be."

I have read each book several times, The Pursuit of God being the first Tozer book I read years ago. And I completely loved it! hands down, it's one of my favorite Christian books of all time.

Tozer's writings are easy to understand and follow. They are short, for the truth doesn't require many words. He gets to the point and sticks with it. Tozer was definitely a man of much prayer as it can be witnessed in the way he was led by the Holy Spirit through writing. Tozer is the man whose books you want to read if you ever need a reminder of what it is to be drenched in the Holy Spirit and what it requires to establish an unbreakable relationship with God.

The physical aspects of this volume are simple. The book is not too big or tall nor bulky considering that it's a 3 in 1. The total pages are 471 which is not a lot. It has a nice hardback cover with a dust jacket. It makes a great gift for a graduation or a birthday.

I highly recommend this book! 15 stars out of 10!

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Since tomorrow is Halloween I decided to do some research and write a little about the origins and symbols of this holiday. I also wanted to pose the question, “Should Christians celebrate Halloween?” This may seem like a no-brainer to the average Christian, but more and more, the church is embracing the world and /or watering down and sugar-coating the truth so as to not offend anyone. Something that is becoming more prevalent in American churches is the “fall festival/harvest” which is just a synonym for Halloween. It does not matter that kids are not in costume, the mere fact that an activity is done in place of, is enough to partake in it. Hence, I felt compelled to touch upon this topic and pray that believers may come to the light and stop offending God. This is what I found out about Halloween… check it out. What Does the Bible Say? Halloween is a holiday of death not just because of the costumes, macabre theme or movies but because of its meaning (more on that...

Young Women Love God Greatly Bible (NET)

"Young Women Love God Greatly Bible (NET)" by Thomas Nelson This is my first time reading the NET and the “Love God Greatly” ministry. Let me preface this review by saying that I’m almost strictly KJV only but sometimes I like to look up certain passages in other versions to compare the text. I was impressed with the wording after reading a little through the NET. The NET contains many translation notes explaining why some words or verses were omitted, so I appreciate that. I still prefer the KJV but the NET is very understandable, albeit, very different from what I’m used to. About this bible, be prepared to receive a BIG chunky tome. I personally like personal-size Bibles but also enjoy having chunkers as well. This also means that it is jammed-packed with extra stuff.

Knowing Sin

"Knowing Sin: Seeing a Neglected Doctrine Through the Eyes of the Puritans" by Mark Jones If you're a fan of the Puritans this one will be a great read for you. Not many books are written about sin, this is one of a kind. This is a well-rounded anthology on harmatiology (the study of sin). The author uses pieces and teachings from several Puritans to introduce each chapter and then goes into detailed discussions. The book covers every area of sin you can think of; the origins, selfishness, envy, privation of sin, sorrow, manipulation, temptations, etc. I found the material biblically sound and very well-written. This is probably the best book I've read on sin. The author makes reference to theologians, ministers, preachers, and Biblical stories to draw his points. This book helps you analyze how you handle sin and to identify the root problems. I would highly recommend! I received a copy of this book from Moody in exchange for an honest review.
