Rating: 5 / 5
How sad that this wonderful and inspiring selection of some of the world’s greatest Christian and mystical poetry and hymns is now out of print and so hard to find anywhere…even on the Net.
Tozer does a splendid job of quoting the greatest poets and hymnists of the Christian Faith on the most important subject ever contemplated by Man: WHO/WHAT IS GOD ? … and WHAT IS TRUE LOVE AND WORSHIP OF GOD ?
Your life will be truly enriched by reading these magnificent poems.
Tozer was one man who deep within his heart KNEW the realities of which these soaring, inspired poems speak so elequently.
