I began praying along with him. I was being lifted up to the throne room by a powerful presence of the Holy Spirit. These are not perfunctory prayers offered up by a pastor who is going through introductory motions. On the contrary, the reader is given the privilege of being led into the presence of our Holy God. This is a very important book.”-Lyle Dorsett, author of A Passion for God: The Spiritual Journey of A.W. Tozer“As I read Approaching the Almighty, I could hear Tozer's drawly Midwestern baritone in my head: his heart was full of God's Word, and the words of the hymnal as well, and it shows in these impassioned prayers.”-Larry Shackley, Composer and Church Musician“I have often shied away from reading other people's prayers. I associated this practice with ritualistic churches, where the order of service is read out of a book. But throughout the years I have changed my mind, realizing that we can learn so much from the way in which others prayed. Often they describe so beautifully, what may be in our own hearts as we lift our praise and petitions to God. As I read these prayers by A. W. Tozer I found that he was bringing to my mind phrases of adoration to God, and praying for needs that I had overlooked. Let me challenge you to do what I did: Pray these prayers to God, let them speak to your heart and they will help you enter into the presence of the Almighty with both humility and praise. We must learn all we can from this man who's only passion in life was to know God and adore Him.”-Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church in Chicago“I finished reading the book yesterday. I read slowly and carefully and prayerfully. I am one of a declining number of people who has heard Tozer preach and pray in person. As I kept on reading, I could feel like I was hearing him again. You have caught the essence of who Tozer was. Others may have studied what he preached but you have caught who he was in his relations
