A Passion For God

A.W. Tozer's impact for the kingdom of God is immeasurable. His sermons touched thousands through the years; his books--including The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy--reached millions and continue to sell. Yet few really knew this quiet, intensely private, deeply spiritual man.

Esteemed biographer Lyle Dorsett digs deep into the childhood, spiritual conversion, family life, and ministry of Aiden Wilson Tozer, who began life as a Pennsylvania farm boy with limited religious upbringing. Dorsett doesn't hide the realities of Tozer's marriage and career. Instead he reveals Tozer as a flawed man whose one goal, until his death in 1963, was to grow closer to God regardless of the cost. Don't miss this detailed exploration of A.W. Tozer, whose life and work encourages, chastises, and energizes us today.
