¿Alguna vez ha experimentado realmente la presencia de Dios? Si no es así, ¿qué cree que se interpone en el camino? Cuando Moisés se encontró con Dios en la zarza ardiente, eso cambió su vida y su percepción de lo que es Dios. En ese momento en que la zarza ardía, empezó a comprender y a apreciar lo sagrado de la adoración. La adoración apropiada tiene que encajar con lo que estamos adorando; por lo que si adoramos a Dios, debemos hacerlo en sus términos. Esto implica tener un espíritu de reverencia y santidad, como Moisés al quitarse el calzado y arrodillarse ante Él. El fuego de la zarza no atemorizó a Moisés, sino que hizo derramar la esencia de lo sagrado en su vida. Le hizo experimentar la presencia de Dios en una manera que nunca había sentido. Permita que este libro le enseñe cómo encontrar a Dios al igual que Moisés. ----- What Would It Be Like to Encounter God Face-to-Face? Have you ever truly experienced God's presence? If not, what do you think is getting in the way? When Moses met God at the burning bush, it changed his life and his perception of who God is. In that burning-bush moment, he began to understand and appreciate the sacredness of worship. Proper worship has to fit the one we are worshiping, so if we are worshiping God, we must do it on His terms. This means having a spirit of reverence and holiness--like Moses taking off his shoes and kneeling before Him. The bush's fire did not frighten Moses, but rather it poured the essence of sacredness into his life. It gave him an experience of God's presence he had never had before. Let this book teach you how, like Moses, to encounter God afresh.

A. W. Tozer on one of his favorite subjectsFew subjects invigorated A. W. Tozer like worship. In line with historic creeds, he saw it as the sole purpose of creation. Worship: The Reason We Were Created features collections from the beloved spiritual writer on this important topic. The church's current worship is emaciated; its thoughts of God are too low. Here is a compilation to raise those thoughts back up and provoke the church to true worship. Topics include: The act and object of worship The Presence of GodWorship throughout the weekFeelings and emotion in worshipMan as a worshipping creatureIf it's true that we are made to worship God, that we exist for this reason alone, and that we are most alive when living for His glory, then reading Worship is more than time well spent; it is time invested in the very foundation of our lives.

A.W. Tozer calls God the "Composer of the Cosmos," the "Chief Musician of the Universe." God signals the birds to chirp their beautiful tune in the coolness and tranquility of a spring morning, simply because that is what He designed them to do. Each note is wonderfully constructed by God, uniquely bringing praise to His name. With this inspiring perspective on worship, Tozer invites readers to take a deep look at the ways in which we worship and why. He reminds us that we were created solely for this purpose and that worshipping the Father and seeking His fellowship is our primary task. It is also His delight. The newest revised edition now includes "Worship: The Missing Jewel of the Evangelical Church," first published in the Alliance Life magazine in 1965, and still so profound today.

"Are you sure you want to be possessed by a spirit other than your own? Even though that spirit be the pure Spirit of God? Even though He be the very gentle essence of the gentle Jesus? Even though He be wisdom personified, wisdom Himself? Even though He be as loving as the heart of God?" --A. W. TozerIn a little book that's hard to swallow, A. W. Tozer teaches plainly who the Spirit is, why we should desire Him, but why few of us do. He instructs us in how to be filled with the Spirit, but first poses this question: Do you really want to be filled?

Will you press into heaven at the expense of earth?It has been said that revivals are born after midnight. This is not because midnight is a magic hour--it isn't--but because anyone truly desiring renewal doesn't tire at seeking it.Born After Midnight stirs us toward renewal.

Tozer applies God's high wisdom to our everyday living to show sin bitter and Christ sweet, helping us crave heaven and lose our taste for the world.If you will take God for who He says He is, trust His promises as true, and forsake the world in clutching for heaven, it will cost you everything.

"The highest that can be said of any creature is that it fulfilled the purpose for which God made it." -- A. W. TozerWhat is holding you back from being all God wants you to be? Are you still holding on to past sins? Do memories of your spiritual failures haunt you? Or maybe you want to stay in control and not become one of those "fanatical" Christians? Tozer says, "It is one of the devil's oldest tricks to discourage the saints by causing them to look back at what they were." Indeed, Satan has been in the business of intimidating and deceiving the people of God for a very long time. Tozer himself felt attacked by the devil even as he prepared the sermons distilled into this book. But as we press toward maturity in Christ, we are armed with great strength to engage in battle with that great Adversary. We can stand up to the Devil and shout "I am a child of God! I will not take this any longer, and I remind you that the forgiveness and cleansing I have freely received comes from Jesus Christ!" You can talk back to the Devil, but will you?
