![]() Read moreĪuthor is self-taught, associated with Christian Missionary Alliance, with honorary degree from Wheaton, and 60 republications of articles and sermons into books. I don't remember a lot of dos and don'ts in the book. His way into that seems to be to truly desire it. He is speaking to them and trying to draw them into actually experiencing more. It sounds like Tozer's environment was one of a society where almost everyone was a professed Christian. I got the impression that he leaves that to each person to find out and not just once, but to continually be open to that experience. He does not attempt to give us an idea of what his experience of God is. He applauds those things, but he sees the basis of it all as an experience of God. ![]() What I particularly liked was his emphasis on an experience of God and not a reliance on dogma, Bible, prayer, or ministry to others. I could imagine today that he might be more like Merton having a dialog with the Dalai Lama, but that is not what is to be found in this book. He speaks only of Christians and Christianity. ![]() He writes from a 1948 Christian awareness of how to speak about God. It seems he was a mystic and I gathered that from some of what he says in the book. There is an introduction that tells about A.W. I listened to the audio version narrated by Grover Gardner. ![]()
