Of course, I don’t think this should be the only book on God’s glory you buy this year (ahem), but the glory of God is a topic that cannot be exhausted. May we celebrate God and relish the glory of his great name all our days, and may this book help us do so.

One reply on “Do You Love God’s Glory?”

  1. Jim,

    I seek to be enabled by the Holy Spirit to love God’s glory and I must say that as a businessman who has multiple responsibilities I am not “thrilled” to see the publication of this book. Am I glad it exists? Sure. Am I thankful for the scholarship that went into it’s making? Of course. Am I thrilled by it’s publication? No I am not. Does this mean I do not love God’s glory? I do not think so. Those of us in the reformed community who have a passion for God’s glory would be well served to refrain from the use of these type of hyperbolic expressions.
