Rating:  - Knowledge of the Holy, orthodox theology 101.
The only obvious weakness of Tozer's classic little book on Christian theology is that he eventually has a difficult time conforming to his own excellent theological advice. That is, after initially and correctly emphasizing "God Incomprehensible", he sometimes falls prey to the common tendency to define God in words and ideas too familiar and inadequate. Where he finds this to be the case, the reader may remind himself that Tozer was probably awareness of this too, as he had already described the ... Read More
Rating: - Knowledge of the Holy
Aside from scripture, this may be the most important book you ever read about God. It's that good. It's an annual re-read for my spouse, and will become one for me, since it's reawakened my awe of God and his majesty.
Rating: - Succinct but Powerful Book
When I pick up a book this slim, I usually think I can knock it out in a short amount of time.
I was wrong.
Like a lot of C.S. Lewis books, the length is deceiving: you can't just breeze through them. The depth of intellect and the power of the words mean slowing down to absorb what A.W. Tozer is saying. It really is an amazing book of knowledge, insight and experience.

Rating: - Daily reading required!
This is a book about the attributes of God. Tozer does an outstanding job of pointing us to God by recalling those things which the Bible says are true of God Almighty.
A few ideas Tozer repeats throughout the book. These ideas are:
1) Modern man has lost the vision of the majesty of our God, and the first step to aquiring it is to determine to "Aquaint ourselves with God".
2) In attempting to see God the way that He truly is, we must believe in order that we ... Read More
Rating: - Good
This is a classic work.
It is short and still covers many attributes of God.
What's so good about this book, is authors ability to give comprehensive and interconnected view of divine attributes; to show how they are connected and do not oppose each other.
I would recommend this book for everybody.
It's easy to read and will cause you to rethink your relationship with God for better.
