On occasion I’m asked about my favorite books. Of course, you know my number one—the Bible. To be honest, I don’t have many others.
At number two, you’ll find A. W. Tozer’s The Pursuit of God. Every time I open this classic, written in 1948, it stirs within me the longing to go deeper with God. As one who memorizes God’s Word with joyful compulsion, Tozer always reminds me of my purpose …
