The Root of the Righteous

Tapping the Bedrock of True Spirituality

God commands Christians to both bear fruit and be rooted in Christ. But one comes before the other. In this collection of short essays, Tozer writes about the need for communion with God in the life of the believer. He critiques the focus on fruit and not on the Fount, offering thoughtful and practical insights for living the nourished life.  

For the Christian eager to bear fruit-the busy one bearing little, the young one wanting growth, or the long-timer feeling discouraged-The Root of the Righteous is indispensable. May Tozer bring you to the center, to the Vine, that you may bear fruit for your joy and God's good pleasure.
