Christian Community Review #1

If you were attracted to the title and perhaps the history of this fine author I will say with surety that this work will not disappoint!! It is a book for the serious of heart and desiring to draw closer to God and reap the benefits of communion and a greater anointing. Author A.W. Tozer holds nothing back in his straightforward way of revealing how sin, self, and pride are stumbling blocks preventing true union with God.

In each of these chapters the reader will gain greater clarity on how to pursue God and follow hard after Him. His illustration of the Old Testament tabernacle will relay how the interior journey of the soul goes from sin to God's presence. The many sins of "self" will need to be brought to the cross, he states before the veil of true communion can take place. "Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us. We must confess, forsake, repudiate the self life and then reckon it crucified ".

As you discover how a defective faith can result in spiritual numbness, too will be the revelation of how obedience can give Inward revelation and acute perception, enabling us to experience God as one pure in heart. Programs and church attendance can still leave one inwardly bankrupt. Tozer exhorts us to get still to wait on God to hear him speak to our hearts. Accept His full Lordship and give forth complete submission. "We will acquire a new view point and mindset and a new power will begin to surprise us".

This book, quite frankly, will revolutionize your life if you determine wholeheartedly to be a "doer"and not just a "hearer". These are simple, yet profound principles upon which any believer can follow if they choose to do so. I give this book a five star rating for the quality content and to the point principles. Allow it to change your life forever. 

Christian Community Review #2

I choose a 5 star rating due to its intensity and indepthness. I've been a Christian for most of my adult life. I thought I pretty much had things in order. Reading this book opened my eyes to the many short comings and failures I actually do have. A.W. Tozer takes the reader to a level where he or she must open themselves up and pronounce that they should seek God at a level where when you pray, there is no doubt HE will hear you and take action. One of the more interesting subjects he writes about, is, how we try to separate our secular lives from our spiritual lives. Another area he discusses is how we, "popularize" certain days to be Holy. For the casual reader, please take note this book was written in the '50's. The trials and troubles he mentions are still prevelant in our present day at a much more alarming rate. In some subject matter, it's almost as if he is taking his information from the nightly news. Over all, if you want to get closer to GOD and see yourself as somewhat less than spectacular servant of The Most High, doing the minimum required, (as I sometimes thought of as myself), read this book. Read it with sincerity and a pureness of heart, fully expecting God to reach into your heart and bringing you to a level thought unattainable. And then read it again!!
