PDF Ebook Delighting in God, by A.W. Tozer
Understand Your Life's Purpose by Better Understanding God"My worship grows and grows as my perception of God grows. God cannot grow. My perception of God grows as I experience Him day after day. I should be more capable of worshiping God today than I was ten or twenty years ago."Delighting in God is the message A.W. 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. Because we were created in the image of God, to understand who we are, we need to understand who God is and allow His character and nature to be reflected through us. We are here to serve and adore Him, and we can only fulfill that role by acknowledging who He is. This is the essence of the Christian life and the source of all our fulfillment, joy, and comfort.

Tozer book is being billed as the originally planned follow-up to his classic The Knowledge of the Holy, and after reading it I see no reason to not treat it that way. In fact, I’m’a adding it to my re-reads list so that I can read the two together in the future.In this book, Tozer moves from focusing on God’s attributes to its practical ramifications here on earth—the most obvious being that such a God should be the focus on all our worship, rather than being secondary to the “worship experience” or church-as-entertainment. With that comes the lack of reverence; as Tozer so witheringly puts it, “We do not fear God anymore. We do not dread Him anymore. He is our buddy and only wants to help us be the best kind of people we can be.”As editor James Snyder points out in the intro, “Even in his day, Tozer complained about the mediocrity of the Christian church. He complained about how worship had fallen to such a low, despicable level. I wonder what he would say today?”We certainly have some idea from what Tozer writes here. There are places where he veers into attacks on what passed for Christianity even 50 years ago (and again, is even more applicable today), but he’s at his best when he’s looking upward and calling us to do the same: “What is needed today is passion, but more defined, a passion for God, a deep desire to know God as He desires to be known.”Inherent in many of the problems the church faces today, Tozer reminds us, is our presumption that “We assume that if it is in the Bible, it is in us… but we cannot assume that…. We must come to the point of personally experiencing everything that the Bible is teaching us. To know the first step is important, but it is only the first step, and we must persevere unto perfection; that is, experiencing what God wants us to experience in the Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.” And this will only be accomplished by actually wanting what God wants, rather than trying to cram God into what we want.Tozer was always a master of calling us back to “the pursuit of God,” and he doesn’t fail here either. Maybe the reason it took so long to un-earth this book is that we need it now more than ever.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. What is your perception of God? By reviewsbyerin This book, a compilation of some of A.W. Tozer's sermons in the final years of his life, focuses on the attributes of God and how our perception of Him influences the things we do or do not do. I have always enjoyed Tozer's works but it had been several years since I'd read anything he'd written. I was quite happy to have the opportunity to read and review this one.As always, Tozer comes down hard on the church of the mid-twentieth century and Christians who are content with mediocre faith. He brings up one of my favorite teachings of his, that a believer can have as much of God as he chooses to possess. It's up to us to hunger and thirst after God and learn His character. Tozer also strongly encourages believers to look at how helpful 'additions' in life sometimes take away from being truly fulfilled and content in Christ. "God and" weakens a person while "God only" - a simplified faith - allows us to grow in Him.Each chapter in this book closes with a great hymn of the faith. Many of them I knew but some I did not. Tozer believed that hymnwriters of old knew something about God that they can still teach us today, and I enjoyed having them as part of the text.My favorite part of the book was Chapter 15, which was called "The Effect of Our Perception of God." It urges Christians to be world-changers, serving as Jesus Christ served and truly making a difference. That's one of my passions and I loved the way Tozer phrased his exhortation on this matter.While I was in the middle of this book my father very unexpectedly passed away. Although this has been a difficult time for my family, we have still seen God's attributes every day as we seek Him for comfort. Our perception that God is merciful, strong, loving, and wise - among many other things! - has brought peace to our grieving process. What is your perception of God? If you would like to give yourself a check-up I would recommend looking into this and other works by this classic Christian author.I received my copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Tozer, his books are such a growing experience that I would highly recommend every Christian take the time and read at least one of his books. The latest book title Delighting in God is a bit different than your usual Tozer book; this book is compiled and edited by James L. Snyder. What James has done is take sermons give by Tozer and organize them in a way that actually makes sense and conveys the attributes of God that A.W. Tozer always felt necessary for believers to really understand.I enjoyed how James L. Snyder found hymns that were relevant to each sermon and incorporated them at the end of each chapter. The only thing that I did not enjoy about the book was the feeling that James edited the wording a bit too much and in some parts, especially the first and second chapters. I felt like the editing lost the natural cadence of A.W. Tozer's writings and dumbed down some of the words he normally uses. However, I still highly recommend the book.I was given this book from NetGalley for my honest opinion.
