“Did you ever stop to think that God is going to be as pleased to have you with Him in Heaven as you are to be there?”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“When Jesus died on the cross the mercy of God did not become any greater. It could not become any greater, for it was already infinite. We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No--Jesus died because God is showing mercy. It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us mercy. If God had not been merciful there would have been no incarnation, no babe in the manger, no man on a cross and no open tomb.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“When God justifies a sinner, everything in God is on the sinner's side. All the attributes of God are on the sinner's side. It isn't that mercy is pleading for the sinner and justice is trying to beat him to death. All of God does all that God does.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“Love casts out fear, for when we know we are loved, we are not afraid. Whoever has God's perfect love, fear is gone out of the universe for him.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“What God made, God loves, because it's inconceivable that God should make anything that He didn't love.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“Contemporaries relate that hearing Martin Luther pray was "an experience in theology". They said the reformer began praying with such humility that he could be pitied, only to proceed with such boldness before God that the human hearer would fear for him.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“You know, it’s awfully hard to get a Christian scared. It’s hard to get him panicked if he really believes in God. If he’s just a church member, you can get him panicked. But if he really believes in God it’s very difficult to do it.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“The Bible is a whole series of highways, all leading toward God. And when the text has been illuminated and the believer of the text knows that God is the end toward which he is moving, then that man has real faith.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“But when, through the open door of the cross and the name and power of Jesus Christ, I commend myself to the Father's heart, then God cancels all my past, accepts all my present, swears His holy name for my future and the love of God take me over. Then fear goes out of my heart, because love has come in.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“Oh Dios, el tiempo corre, volando como un pájaro asustado. El pájaro del tiempo está volando y tiene poco camino para revolotear. El vino de la vida se está yendo gota a gota, y las hojas de la vida están cayendo una a una. Pronto, ante el Inefable todo hombre debe aparecer para rendir cuentas por los hechos realizados en el cuerpo. Oh, Padre, mantén en nosotros un sentido de santidad para que no podamos pecar y justificarlo, sino que el arrepentimiento sea profundo en nuestras vidas. Te lo pedimos en el nombre de Cristo. Amén.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“Grace is that in God which brings into favor one justly in disfavor.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“He abhorred not the virgin’s womb.” The writer thought about this and said, “Wait a minute here. The womb of the creature? How could the everlasting, eternal, infinite God, whom space cannot contain, confine Himself inside one of His creatures? Wouldn’t it be a humiliation?” Then he smiled and said, “No, He abhorred not the virgin’s womb,”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“La Iglesia saldrá de su estancamiento cuando nos demos cuenta de que la salvación no es solo una lámpara, que no es solo una póliza de seguro contra el infierno, sino una puerta hacia Dios y que Dios es todo lo que tendremos y podremos desear.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“With our Bible open before us and our knees bent, all alone in humility and penitence, let us cry, “Only God, only God and God alone! Take the world but give me Jesus!” Will you do that? We need it in the Church. We all need it. May God grant it in Jesus Christ our Lord.”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“Christianity is a gateway into God. And then when you get into God, “with Christ in God,” then you’re on a journey into infinity, into infinitude. There is no limit and no place to stop. There isn’t just one work of grace, or a second work or a third work, and then that’s it. There are numberless experiences and spiritual epochs and crises that can take place in your life while you are journeying out into the heart of God in Christ. God is infinite! That’s the hardest thought I will ask you to grasp.”

“Tick-tock, tick-tock, little wolves. Do you feel time slipping away from you? Do you feel the urgency to pursue me, the one who plans your destruction? I am coming, little wolves. Tick-tock, tick-tock; I am coming for you. And one by one you will fall. One by one the wolves will be silenced.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Beyond the Veil
“Some lives work better with routines, and Liv Halston's is one of them. Every weekday morning she rises at seven thirty am, pulls on her trainers, grabs her iPod, and before she can think about what she's doing, she heads down, bleary-eyed, in the rackety lift, and out for a half hour run along the river. At some point, threading her way through the grimly determined commuters, swerving round reversing delivery vans, she comes fully awake, her brain slowly wrapping itself around the musical rhythms in her ears, the soft thud-thud-thud of her feet hitting the pavement. Most importantly she has steered herself away again from a time she still fears: those initial waking minutes, when vulnerability means that loss can still strike her unheralded and venal, sending her thoughts into a toxic black fog. She had begin running after she had realized that she could use the world outside, the noise in her earphones, her own motion, as a kind of deflector, Now it has become habit, and insurance police. I do not have to think. I do not have to think. I do not have to think.”
― Jojo Moyes, quote from The Girl You Left Behind
“One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.”
― Aldo Leopold, quote from A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There

Daily in His Presenc...BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
