Description

From one of the 20th century's most beloved spiritual writers

A. W. Tozer is known for many things. He's known for his powerful writing style. He's known for being vigorously biblical. And he is known for gazing upon God in Scripture, and then telling readers plainly what he sees.

These aspects of Tozer shine through in Meditations on the Trinity. Tozer’s writings are first and foremost about our triune God. And while he never wrote a book specifically on the Trinity, this volume compiles excerpts from his writings to produce a collection of daily readings on the Godhead. It consists of four parts: one part on each respective person of the Trinity, and one on God three-in-one.
 
Can a Christian ever finish contemplating the Trinity? It is an inexhaustible mystery, but one that rewards continual reflection. Readers of Meditations on the Trinity will receive a more accurate view of who God is, and in turn---as Tozer would be quick to point out---offer Him truer worship. Knowing God is the chief end of man, and this book will help readers nearer that goal.

Premise/plot: Meditations on the Trinity is a new devotional published by Moody featuring one hundred selections by A.W. Tozer. The book is divided into four sections: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and God Three In One. The devotional readings are excerpts from Tozer's sermons and/or books.

If you're unfamiliar with A.W. Tozer and his work, this Tozer quote serves as a great introduction:
"Are you contented with nominal Christianity? If you are, I’ve nothing for you. Are you contented with popular Christianity that runs on the authority and popularity of big shots? If you are, I’ve nothing for you. Are you content with elementary Christianity? If you are, all I’ve got for you is to exhort you earnestly to press on toward perfection. But if you’re not satisfied with nominal Christianity, popular Christianity, and the first beginnings of things and you want to know the Triune God for yourself, read on."
My thoughts: I would definitely recommend this one! I would especially recommend it to those new to A.W. Tozer's works. I think it would make a very good first book. I personally have read a LOT of Tozer. (Though there are still some books I don't own and thus haven't read just yet.) The more I read Tozer, the more I love Tozer. I love his zeal and passion for the glory of the Lord. I love his reliance on the Bible. I love seeing someone so JOYFUL so PASSIONATE about the Word of God. Tozer was a man who loved God first and foremost. And because he loved God, because he treasured the Word of God, because God was his 'one thing' he fought to uphold truth no matter the cost. Tozer was not afraid to speak up and speak out.

Tozer is a theological powerhouse, and this collection of his writings on the Trinity helps one to expand their understanding of our triune God. The editors compiled

This gem of an anthology is the first book by Tozer that I've read and hopefully will not be the last. In well-selected excerpts from various of his works, Tozer uses simple language to draw us into the anything-but-simple contemplation of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I often found myself lingering over passages that I want to go back to again. Based on an ARC from Netgalley.

I've often pondered the concept of the Trinity, God-three in one! I live that the author touched on each part of the Trinity. We often learn about God and Jesus but the Holy Spirit often isn't given as much attention, leaving a void in truly knowing All that God is! This is a great work for getting a deeper understanding of Trinity as a whole and individually!
