I finished reading Pursuit of God by AW Tozer today. It was a really good read. I found that as I read it, I would tend to re-read paragraphs a few times over just because they contained so much depth and meaning. I also read the book with a highlighter in my hand because there were just so many points that spoke to my heart and convicted and challenged me.
Tozer just has the knack for making things understandable and clear. The book is about how Christians can pursue God, what usually stands in our way, what joy is experienced when one truly pursues God with all their heart, and the right attitude to have to pursuing God. Midway through reading this book, I read the back of the book and was so surprised to read the following:
During a train trip to Texas in the late 1940s, AW Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, the words coming to him as fast as he could put them down. When the train pulled into the station, the rough draft was finished.
WHAT???
I seriously can’t believe that. Yeah, it’s a short book (93 pages) but seriously, the draft was completed in a train trip??
Tozer is one talented writer.
