Found this to be very insprirational,and one of Tozer's fine works. Well narrated by David Leeson one of LibriVox's many good narrators. Tozer's sermons still can be.listened to on line.This man was a very spirit filled man and it comes through so wonderfully in his writings and sermons. David's summary covers this work very greatly and thanks to him and LibriVox for a very enjoyable reading. If a follower of Christ very great read. Lend a ear and enjoy.

Whooooo!!

The life we are told those who are not saved can have and those who are saved have is real and meant to be lived every moment of every day one moment at a time. In this book Tozer focuses on that very life, the life that those who have believed in Christ have and need only realize that we do have. It was a distinct pleasure listening to this work.

Excellent, still a very poignant book today

I thoroughly enjoy Tozer's perspective on Christianity and the word. Will definitely read this one again. The reader was great as well, firm voice and well spoken.

I love the humility Tozer writes with. We pursue God because He pursued us first... “Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.” Some questions this book made me ask myself: - Having found Christ, do I still pursue Him? - Do I find all my treasure, satisfaction, and delight in God? am I afraid for the safety of my earthly treasures when giving them to the Lord? - The idea of cultivation/ exercise has no room in our generation of “quick and glamorous.” Am I applying my ideas of automatic and instantaneous to my daily prayers, church services, praise, etc? If God doesn’t answer immediately, do I get discouraged because I’ve been conditioned to expect things immediately in my culture? - Like Tozer said, “We read a quick chapter and devotion and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy- shallow lives, hallow religious philosophies, etc. This is a sickness that requires determination and a position of heart in the right place.” Am I turning to God earnestly? I need sincere repentance and a complete turn to God… - Do I exalt God with my all? Am I in full submission to Him? - When I put God next to worldly pleasures: money, love, power, etc— do I still pick Him even if it means forsaking the other? - Do I burden myself with the worries of this world, am I inconsistent in my identity? Some ideas that were great reminders: - God is immutable, He cannot change, that would require Him to go from better to worse or from worse to better. For example, He cannot become ‘more perfect’ as that would mean He is less than perfect now. - “I am ashamed by my lack of desire.” WOW. - Only the SPIRIT of man can know Him! - We can talk about Jesus our whole lives, yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things He has done for us. - Our flesh and self-life, self-righteousness, self-love, etc is the veil that keeps us from Christ. We must endure the cross! The cross is rough and deadly, but it does not keep its victim there forever! - When we say “God, come near,” we are not speaking of nearness of place, but nearness of relationship. - God’s voice spoke everything into existence, yet we preoccupy ourselves with so much “noise” that we simply cannot hear His voice. Listening isn’t part of our religion today. God isn’t mute everyone, but the Bible. God wasn’t a speaking God in the Bible and then decided to never speak again. The Bible isn’t a book once spoken, but a book speaking! - ALL days are days of salvation! - Perfection < holy intention - The whole failure of life is failing to put God where He belongs. - Artificiality is a curse will drop the moment we kneel at Jesus’ feet and surrender ourselves to His meekness. Then we will not care what others think, as long as God is pleased! - Apart from sin, we have nothing else to be ashamed of. - God is in all of our simple deeds, and we can find Him there. Certainly leading a soul to God is much more important than planting a garden, yet planting a garden can be as holy of an act as leading a soul to Christ. - It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is secular or sacred, it is why he does it. - ABIDE in His calling. The motive is everything!

Seemingly a great book. Unfortunately, the intonation of the reader is difficult to follow. The ideas of the book is spiritually complex. The reader speaks in monotone and so It makes it difficult to anticipate the subject and the predicate of his sentences. He also speaks too fast. Does not give you enough time to digest the point of the authors thoughts. Please re record! I hope a better version is recorded by Librovox.

66 books in the Bible. If one more could be added, this would be it. Loved it and the reader was excellent, perfect for a book that needs no dramatization. So many

Excellent work, well recorded

This classic work by the Spirit-filled servant, A.W. Tozer is a blessing that should not be passed over lightly. Stephen does a great job providing a clear recording.
