First edition published in 1948 by Christian Publications, Incorporated.
Following hard after God -- The blessedness of possessing nothing -- Removing the veil -- Apprehending God -- The universal presence -- The speaking voice -- The gaze of the soul -- Restoring the creator-creature relation -- Meekness and rest -- The sacrament of living.
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.
