The Root of the Righteous
Written by
A.W. Tozer
A.W. Tozer urges believers to fix their gaze—not on visible fruit—but on Jesus Himself, to focus their efforts on planting deep roots in Him. With a true devotion to knowing Christ Jesus, to following Him, to walking in His ways, the highly valued fruit is simply and inevitably a product of communion with His all-powerful, ever-loving presence.
This is a deep and thought-provoking book. The book consists of multiple chapters which individually act like mini sermons touching on the topic at hand. Each chapter packs a punch and when read all together forms a beautiful puzzle on what the root of the righteous is. There were some great analogies and fresh perspectives on topics which I thoroughly enjoyed. I love Tozers heart for God and would often have to sit on certain quotes and ponder them due to the depth of the statement at hand.
At times because the chapters only touched on certain topics one could argue that the topics themselves were diluted. Each chapter could have almost been a book on its own and could have been expanded on further. However, when one steps back you see the fuller picture when they all combine. At times Tozer would use scriptures but not give references, which meant having to search the words to find the specific scripture it related to.
