Being the librarian at my church, there are certain authors that appear on the shelves numerous times. This is one of those authors. The Pursuit of God is a challenge to stop floating on the surface of the waters and dive deep into relationship with God. Abandon the surface religion and actively pursue God without ceasing. Just because we've found God doesn't mean we should stop seeking him.
Even though this book was originally written in 1948, the logic and reasoning behind the author's points are just as relevant if not more so. At the end of each chapter is a prayer that reflects the chapter's topic. There's a lot of thee and thou in those, so you might have to slow down to understand them, but this is a great book for those who find themselves in more of a surface than substance relationship with God.
As with many other classics, this one has oodles of editions. I chose this particular one because it was free. It was just published in June, but it's free at the moment. There's also a public domain version that's free. It's short and sweet and definitely worth reading. I read a chapter a day, so it took me about 10 days to get through it. You have nothing to lose by giving it a chance, and you just might learn something.
"Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth."
Good Book!
