    21 aprile 1897 – 12 maggio 1963

    A.W. Tozer fu un pastore, oratore e scrittore evangelico americano, noto per il suo profondo coinvolgimento nella vita spirituale e nella santità di Dio. La sua scrittura è caratterizzata dall'urgenza e dal desiderio di muovere i lettori verso una relazione più profonda con il divino.

    Going Higher with God in Prayer - Cultivating a Lifelong Dialogue
    • Not knowing how to pray is one of the greatest obstacles in a Christian's life. In Going Higher with God in Prayer, Tozer challenges you to ask: Are my prayers more powerful and effective today than they were a year ago? Only God can teach us what is on His heart, what is His will, and what our part in it can be.

Here is a compilation to raise those thoughts high once more, and provoke the church to true, spiritual worship. --Publisher.

    • Hendrickson presents two classic works on the Holy Spirit by A. W. Tozer, together in one volume for the first time. A superb addition to the best-selling Hendrickson Christian Classics series, Life in the Spirit combines Tozer's How to Be Filled with the Spirit and The Straight Talk About the Holy Spirit from a Twentieth Century Prophet. In Tozer's own words, How to be Filled with the Holy Spirit "was made available to the Christian public with the prayer that it may lead thirsty believers to the fountain of living waters." Since its publication, hundreds of thousands of copies of this practical yet deeply devotional guide have been sold. How to be Filled with the Holy Spirit will refresh and open the reader to the filling of the Holy Spirit. In The Counselor, Tozer speaks to the current conflict and confusion about the Holy Spirit from a balanced, biblical perspective-not academic, but practical. Tozer promises that the Holy Spirit "is willing-yes, willing-to do for us all that Jesus would do if He were here on earth." The chapters of this book were originally preached as sermons at Southside Alliance Church in Chicago. Whether spoken or written, Tozer's words were designed to "promote personal heart religion" among God's people.

      True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as the Quakers used to say, "speak to the condition" of his hearers; otherwise he will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation. This book is packed with truth, giving the insight on how the Holy Spirit is the power behind the Church, the Christian life, and the sustainability needed to follow Jesus.

      A.W. Tozer's Follow-up to The Knowledge of the Holy We were created in the image of God, and to understand who we are, we need to understand who God is. His very character and nature are reflected through us. Unless we fully grasp who we are, we'll never become all God wants us to be. Delighting in God is the message Tozer intended to be the follow-up to The Knowledge of the Holy. He demonstrates how the attributes of God--those things God has revealed about himself--are a way to understand the Christian life of worship and service. We are here to serve and adore him, but we can only fulfill that role by acknowledging who he is, which is the essence of the Christian life and the source of all our fulfillment, joy, and comfort.

    • Christ the Eternal Son

      The book, Christ the Eternal Son by A.W. Tozer is on the Gospel of John and is one that has long mystified and perplexed Biblical scholars. Straying from the simplicity of the Synoptic Gospels, John's take is much more cryptic and spiritual. A.W. Tozer examines this Gospel in pieces, looking at God's relationship with man qualitatively. In Christ the Eternal Son, how can a self-existent God relate to His human creations? The miraculous gap was bridged, Tozer declares, when the "Word became flesh!"  A.W. Tozer brings his powerful theology to life in this book, continually reminding the reader of the incredible grace of God. Great are those who are sensitive enough to hear God's voice in their lives. Tozer makes the simple yet profound suggestion to the doubting believer of spending five genuine minutes seeking the Lord and kneeling at His mercy, then considering their nearness to God. He illuminates these truths through the story of Nicodemus, the Pharisee who was willing to hear the Lord's call. The whole of the Gospel narrative is spread throughout this book, each page brings a new tenet of God's masterful plan for redemption.  Tozer reveals one of his own principles of grace, saying that "everything is wrong until Jesus sets it right!" This basic and manageable notion of the Gospel is the foundation of Tozer's logical argument throughout and leaves the reader inspired to quietly do the will of God.

      Das Christentum – eine schmackhafte Arznei für die Bedürfnisse des heutigen Menschen? Der moderne Evangelikalismus im Umbruch – weg vom biblischen Christentum? A.W. Tozer wurde schon zu Lebzeiten als prophetische Stimme bezeichnet. Er sah diese Zeit voraus, die heute zur erschreckenden Realität geworden ist. Und er erkannte klar, dass dennoch das große Ziel Gottes bleibt: Seine Kinder sollen dem Bild seines Sohnes gleichförmig werden. Das ist das große Thema und Anliegen dieses Buches, und Tozer weiß eine Menge dazu zu sagen – denn er hat viel Zeit im Heiligtum vor Gott zugebracht.

    • Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897 1963) bol viac ako tridsať rokov pastorom o kazateľom v Chicagu, USA. Stal sa však aj známym autorom kníh, ktorých napísal viac ako tridsať. Z nich azda najznámejšiu práve držíte v rukách. Hlavný dôraz Tozer vo svojej službe aj vo svojom živote kládol na Boha, ktorý sa veriacemu skrze Písmo a modlitbu dáva spoznávať ako živá Osoba. A práve to je aj témou tejto knihy. Boh o Jeho atribúty, Jeho majestát, svätosť, Jeho láska nie sú len predmetom intelektuálneho poznávania, ale aj hlbokej duchovnej skúsenosti veriaceho. Autor nám o svojej knihe napísal: Táto kniha je skromným pokusom pomôcť hladným Božím deťom nájsť Boha. Nie je v nej nič nové, snáď len v tom zmysle, že je to najradostnejší o najúžasnejší objav duchovných skutočností, ktorý moje srdce urobilo. Iní predo mnou už postúpili do týchto svätých tajomstiev oveľa ďalej než ja, ale hoci môj oheň nie je veľký, napriek tomu je skutočný a niektorí si môžu zapáliť svoju sviečku v jeho plameni. Drahý čitateľ, nech je aj Tebe táto kniha občerstvením a posilnením nenechať ležať vzácne zasľúbenia Písma v prachu každodenného zhonu.
