Quotes From AW Tozer's book, Delighting In God

Here are the quotes that stood out to me from AW Tozer's book, Delighting in God. 

Quote 1~ Page 13

"Whenever you find a man of God, you will also find an overwhelming passion for God this almost beyond control. Not a curiosity about God, but a deep passion to experience God is all His Fullness. To know God is the one passion that drives a man into the very heart of God."

Quote 2~ Page 15

"To truly know God as He desires and deserves to be known is not a casual thing, but a lifelong pursuit the ends only when we see Him face to face."

Quote 3~ Page 16

"What people need today is truth- truth organized in a way that allows us to understand God is about. The primary problem with theology is that we have organized it according to man's prejudice. Theology should be the study of God, not our human interpretation of God."

Quote 1 page 26 "No man can preach about God worthily, no man can write about God worthily, unless that man knows God beyond his human ability."

Quote 2 page 28 "Quite frankly, I am dealing with the One you must believe in before you can deny Him: the One who is the Word, the One who enables us to speak concerning Him. On our own, we could produce only a caricature, and a poor one at that, and certainly not worthy of our worship. I refuse to worship anything of my own making."

Quote 3 page 31 "...confidence in God can come only when we begin to know God for who He is. It is my contention that only a true worshipper can know God. Religion can teach about God. Cold, textual theolog can teach you about God. But neither can really bring you into the presence of God, where you begin to know God and have confidence in God that you know. I contend that our faith in God comes naturally and automatically as we begin to know Him personally-not just know about God, an encounter that is not boxed in by reason or logic. A true encounter with God lifts us up above everything we know, and we begin to pierce that Cloud of Unknowing and come into the presence of God."
