Houghton, Tomlin, & Tozer


Wow.. what a great time at Canyon Ridge Christian Church last night.
Chris Tomlin's "Hello Love" tour pulled into town.

Nicolas, my 8 year old, is Chris' number one fan.

He wasn't only worshiping the God of Heaven at the concert... he was IN HEAVEN!

Israel Houghton's set was unbelievable as well.

We spent some time with him here at our studios yesterday morning.

As a staff we came together to worship God and chat about how blessed we all are to be serving Him.

Israel shared some thoughts from one of my favorite writers/preachers: A.W. Tozer.


As I mentioned to him, there's a brand new Tozer book that just came out.

The focus is worship and these writings have never been published before.

It's called The Purpose of Man.

He was on that like a rat on a Cheeto.

I can't recommend this book enough!


In fact I gave him a couple of copies of a biography of A.W. Tozer that I had in my office.

The name of this one is "A Passion For God".

We had the author, Lyle Dorsett, on our Total Impact segment not too long ago.

If you like Tozer, you'll like this full length biography.

Another Tozer bio has just been released in the past week or so.

It too is fantastic.

The name of this one is "In Pursuit Of God: The Life of A.W. Tozer" by James Snyder.

I have yet to read some by Tozer or about him without being blessed in some way.

Oh yeah.

One more thing.

Chris and the band have a video blog from the tour.
