A passion for God - Lyle Dorsett

"I fear we shall never see another Tozer. Men like him are not college-bred
but Spirit-taught." Leonard Ravenhill, 20th century British evangelist.

Pastor
A. W. Tozer, author of the Christian classics The Pursuit of God and The
Knowledge of the Holy, was a complex, intensely private, deeply spiritual man,
and a gifted preacher whose impact for the kingdom of God is immeasurable. In this
thoughtful biography, bestselling author Lyle Dorsett traces Tozer's life from his
humble beginnings as a Pennsylvania farm boy to his heyday as a Chicago pastor--when
hundreds of college students would travel to his South Side church to hear him preach
and thousands more heard his Sunday broadcasts on WMBI. Eventually, he came to
his final pastorate in Toronto.

From his conversion as a teen to his death
in 1963, Tozer remained true to one passion: to know the Father and make Him known,
no matter what the cost. The price he paid was loneliness, censure from other, more
secular-minded ministers of the times, and even a degree of estrangement from his
family. Read the life story of a flawed but gifted saint, whose works are still
impacting the world today.
