A. W. Tozer: A Twentieth-Century Prophet by David J. Fant Jr.

A. W. Tozer is applauded by contemporary evangelicals as a towering figure,a timeless treasure,a spiritual mentor and one of the great Christian writers of this century. His writings continue to create a thirst for the knowledge and pursuit of God in the hearts of millions. This book represents an overview of the life of this twentieth-century scholar, mystic, theologian, pastor, author and editor from those who knew him. These pages reflect not only a profit but a saint - a man of indefatigable zeal with an insatiable craving for God. A pastor in Chicago for 31 years, he rose to particular prominence as a preacher to preachers and college students. A weekly radio broadcast increased his influence and recognition. And, as a convention speaker, he was in demand from coast to coast. The last thing Tozer would have wanted was a biography. So, although this book is biographical in nature, its purpose is to renew and revive in the hearts of readers the insatiable thirst for the knowledge and pursuit of God that characterized the life and writings of this twentieth-century prophet.
