From the Inside Flap

BE DISCIPLED BY THE GREAT MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD WHO MENTORED A. W. TOZER

Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897-1963) dedicated his life to pursuing a passionate and intimate relationship with a holy God and helping others do the same. He was continually discipled by those who went before him--evangelists, writers, teachers, and mystics throughout church history.

In this book you will find nearly two hundred excerpts from godly men and women who were instrumental in Tozer's spiritual and intellectual formation. Here are John Bunyan, Brother Lawrence, Julian of Norwich, John Wesley, Teresa of Avila, William Booth, and Anselm, among many others. While these short selections can be read to discover more about Tozer's development, they will also inspire you, deepen your faith, and open windows to new ways of thinking about God and his work.
