Located in Ellet Cemetery in the Akron, Ohio area behind the North Springfield Presbyterian Church. Tozer's wife Ada is buried next to him.
Description:
AW Tozer was a prolific writer and is regarded as one of the greatest spiritual giants in the history of Modern Christianity. Among the more than forty books that he authored, at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy. To this day, his books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God. As influential as he was, he lived a very simple life...signing off the royalties from his books to help the poor and never owning a car. The simplicity of his life is demonstrated even more so in the very simple headstone found at his grave site where he is simply acknowledged as being a "man of god."
