Hello Amazing Reader,

Welcome to our first review edition in the New Year.

Have you created your reading list for the year? If you didn’t include this book to your list previously, you will most likely do so after reading this review by one of our blog contributors, Joshua. Please come along.

This masterpiece by A.W. Tozer is a spiritual book that invites believers to deepen their relationship with God through a heightened awareness of His presence. In this book, the author stresses on the importance of experiencing God, not just intellectually, but through an active, intimate connection that transforms one’s life.

Tozer begins by asserting that God’s presence is not merely a theological concept but a real and tangible experience that believers can have in their daily lives. He stresses that God’s nearness is an ever-present reality, though often overlooked by many who are distracted by the busyness of life or by their own spiritual complacency. The author encourages believers to seek God with a whole heart, cultivating an attitude of reverence and awe that opens the door to experiencing His closeness.

The central message is the idea that experiencing God’s presence is not a passive occurrence. It requires intentionality, discipline, and a desire to turn one’s full attention to God. Tozer urges believers to pursue a life of holiness, prayer, and worship, creating the space for God to reveal Himself. He emphasizes the need for believers to set aside distractions and worldly desires to focus on God’s voice and His work in their lives.

The book also explores the nature of God’s presence—how it is both transcendent and immanent. Tozer contrasts God’s holiness and majesty with His loving desire to dwell with humanity, encouraging readers to approach Him with humility and reverence. He also offers practical insights on how one can prepare their heart for God’s presence, such as through repentance, prayer, and worship.

Ultimately, Experiencing the Presence of God is a call to a deeper, more personal walk with God. It challenges readers to go beyond mere knowledge of God to a profound, life-changing encounter with His presence that shapes their thoughts, actions, and relationships. Through this encounter, Tozer asserts believers can find true fulfilment and purpose in their lives.

May God’s manifest presence be your experience throughout this year. I encourage you to grab a copy of the book and learn what it takes to secure the manifest, conscious presence of God from all 15 chapters.May God’s manifest presence in your life be the difference maker for you.

Have a wonderful 2025!

Joshua
