The Greater Glory, Vol. 1 of 2


Book Description

Excerpt from The Greater Glory, Vol. 1 of 2: A Story of High Life This is a true story. It is what they call a story of high life. It is also a story of the life which is higher still. There be climbings which ascend to depths of in famy; there be also God is merciful - most infamous fallings into heaven. The wise men, who explain this world, have taught us to consider it a round one; doubtless they have wisely measured it. Then, as 't is round, should wisdom twist it topsy-turvy no one would be a whit the wiser, not even the wise men. And that, perhaps, is why - sometimes - to fools - our earthly high and low seem but a mighty matter of tweedledum and tweedledee.

God's Greater Glory


Book Description

Though in all things God's Word is the final authority, our Christian tradition, as inherited from centuries of careful reflection and endeavoring to be true to the teaching of Scripture, can greatly enlighten us. Nowhere is this blend of respectful listening to the wisdom of the past and faithfulness to the Bible more necessary than in our contemporary reformulations of the doctrine of God's person. Bruce Ware believes that while tradition's emphasis on God's metaphysical perfection and His supremacy over the world is correct, we must refine our understanding of the way in which He relates to us. While retaining the deepest concerns of the historic tradition, Ware offers a more rational view of God's dealings with His children–a view that is reflected in Scripture's own testimony of Him. Ware then applies this concept of real divine exaltation and real divine-human relationship to the areas of our prayer life, confidence in God and His guidance of us.
