THE PURSUIT OF GLORY: Finding Satisfaction in Christ Alone
Jeffrey Johnson
Author Jeffrey Johnson begins 'The Pursuit of Glory' with this observation: "You and I are looking for something. Though we may not know exactly what it is, we continue to search for it. What is it? It is glory." Explaining this pursuit as part of our human condition, the author considers the ways we try to fill that empty place in our hearts through happiness, purpose, freedom, companionship, truth, peace, holiness, and life. He shows us, from Scripture and personal experiences, why and how we will ultimately find satisfaction when our search leads us to the glory of God. Each chapter includes questions for further thought, making this an engaging and useful book both for individuals and groups.
"The Pursuit of Glory is must reading for every Christian. In it Jeffrey Johnson conveys major aspects of Christian living as they relate to glory. His topic is unusual, as it is often thought that only God has glory. Read with faith and know you too may pursue glory—for God is glory!" —Jay Adams, author of Competent to Counsel and many more
"Author Jeffrey Johnson concludes in 'The Pursuit of Glory' that we are all searching for something. He is right. Every person who has ever lived is on a journey to find something of meaning and value in life. What are you pursuing—happiness, freedom, companionship, truth? The key to this search, as you will read in this book, is much more than 'what' you are looking for. Actually, the 'Who' of your search is all important. If you are honestly searching for the meaning and value of life as it is truly to be lived, read this volume from cover to cover. It will point you to finding glory in knowing Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who will give you purpose for your life now and hope for eternal life to come." —Lance Quinn, senior pastor, Bethany Church, Thousand Oaks, California
"This book gives an expanded exposition of the Augustinian summary of human purpose, 'You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You.' Jeff Johnson wants the reader to experience satisfaction in this universal quest. He is not proposing some secret, mystical incantation or detachment from reality, but points to the plainly revealed, clearly proposed gospel of the birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. He is the one in whom all the fullness of the godhead dwells in bodily form. If we would find glory and all its accompanying values, we will find them only in Christ. That is the driving purpose and the clear message of this book. 'Take and read.'" —Tom Nettles, from the Foreword
