With each short, devotional chapter beginning in prayer, Tozer leads the reader beyond mere information into adoration. His rich, reverent prose awakens the heart to the awe of knowing the living God rightly, and challenges every believer to cast aside shallow religion for deeper communion with the Almighty.

Whether you are a new believer or a seasoned Christian longing for a fuller vision of God, this book will help rekindle a holy reverence, nourish your soul, and reshape your life.
“The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils.”
—A. W. Tozer
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963) was a pastor, author, and prophet-like voice in twentieth-century evangelicalism. With no formal theological training, he rose to prominence through deep devotion, penetrating insight, and a life wholly surrendered to God. For over thirty years, he ministered in Chicago and later Toronto, calling believers back to the awe and holiness of God. Tozer authored more than forty books, with The Knowledge of the Holy and The Pursuit of God standing as enduring spiritual classics. His writing continues to stir hearts, challenge minds, and draw Christians into deeper worship and reverence for the Almighty.
