The book: The Knowledge of the Holy
Written by: Aiden Wilson Tozer, 1961.
From the back:
The church has surrendered her once lofty
concpet of God and has substituted for it one
so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy
of thinking, worshipping men. With our loss
of a sense of majesty has come the further loss
of religious awe and sense of the divine
presence. We have lost our spirit of worship
and our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet
God in adoring silence.
(from the Author's Introduction)
Dr Tozer helps us in this book on the character
of God to rediscover His majesty in a way that
will deeply affect our day-to-day living.
