The Pursuit of God: The Universal Presence

God is here.  He was here just a minute ago, is here as I type this and will be here when I’m done.  God is here.  It is such a simple thing that it almost seems silly to state it.  But in this chapter of The Pursuit of God, Tozer does a masterful job of …
