I have this little book on my shelf with the "gonna read someday" books because a few people have mentioned it something good to read. The book isThe Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer and I finally started reading when my daughter needed it to study in her prayer group I must say that those people who said it was good to read were wrong; rather this book should be on the "imperative you read" list for every Christian.
If you have never read it don't delay, find a copy immediately and do start reading. It won't take long it is only 118 page of fairly large print.
Mr. Tozer places a prayer at the end of each chapter and over the coming days I will post one a day. They are deeply rooted in a passion to know God and I have been moved to the core of my being by them. A.W. Tozer puts my thoughts and feelings about what being a Christian means to me in such eloquent terms I am amazed. This man could not know me, for I was not even born when he wrote this book. Yet it is as though he plucked the words right out of my heart.
JOB 33:29-30 Behold, God works all these, twice, three times with a man, to bring back his soul from the Pit that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

This Blog Is
Like any refugee, I long for a new home to call my own, but my "homeland" of depression has a strong hold and sometimes I find myself teetering on the, nay slipping down, the edge of that awful pit God has brought me out of.
This blog is a way for me to work on the discipline of writing, and to voice my thoughts on my life and experiences on my journey to better health; mentally, physically and spiritually
So don't forget to read all those other to-read-eventually books; there's no law that says they aren't just as good...and who knows how much gas you'd save doing that instead of going through the library parking lot...
