Our lives are a mix of difficulties, laughter and delight, of satisfying moments, seemingly hopeless situations and unanswerable questions. Nature’s beauty inspires our wonder today, but its power may break our bodies tomorrow. What will steady our faith in God, and help it to grow, when life is like that? Far from wanting us to live in a make-believe world, the call of God’s word is to see the reality of what God is doing in the lives of millions of people. Scripture tells us that, right now, he is working out his long-term plan for bringing many sons and daughters to full maturity in his Son, Jesus Christ. The more we understand the revelation of his plan, and the character of the one who has decided to bring us on a journey through this world of brokenness and beauty, the more we will be drawn to follow him in obedience, love and trust. These 365 one-page readings focus on Christ’s work as the captain of our salvation, on the way he journeys with his redeemed, and finally on the wisdom and love of the Father who planned it all.This book is equal to a full year at any theological college. I realize more than ever why so many of my friends have been mentored by Dr Gooding.— George Verwer DD — Founder of Operation MobilisationDavid Gooding not only makes the Scripture come alive, his insights reflect a lifetime of careful and detailed study of the Scriptures. He asks penetrating questions and shows how the Bible answers the longings God has placed in all humanity. Nor is he an armchair academic. It is clear we are reading a man who has fallen in love with the glory and majesty of God. Bringing Us to Glory moved me to a greater love for our risen Lord who sacrificed everything for us and our salvation. It is a must read!— Rebeca Manley Pippert — Author of Stay SaltDr David Gooding’s commentaries, which have been used in this new devotional, have greatly enhanced my own preaching and teaching ministry. My wife has also profited from them in her daily devotional reading. I always recommend his books to young scholars and Bible teachers, and I am very happy to do the same for this new collection.— Alexander Strauch — Author of Biblical EldershipDavid Gooding was gifted with a unique understanding of the richness of Scripture. His talks and writings are filled with gems of insight, and it is gratifying to see them being made available in the easily digestible form of short daily readings that will suffuse the reader’s life with glimpses of glory.— John C. Lennox — Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford, Emeritus Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science, Green Templeton College, Associate Fellow of the Said Business SchoolBringing Us To Glory proves to be thoroughly biblical, genuinely God-glorifying, and eloquently thoughtful with meat for the mature Christian and milk for the new-in-Christ. I heartily commend this treasure to all who love the Lord Jesus Christ.— Richard Mayhue, Th.D. — Research Professor of Theology Emeritus, The Master’s SeminaryBringing Us To Glory is a tremendous place to begin your acquaintance with the works of Dr David Gooding. He was a legend in his own time and a household name all over the world. He was my friend and spoke for us at Westminster Chapel. We thank God that he left a legacy of his writings for the whole world to discover. I urge you to take advantage of the scholarship of a man who held to the infallibility of Scripture and whose writings will grip you no end. — RT Kendall — Minister, Westminster Chapel (1977-2002)Now we have carefully selected sections from David Gooding’s writings available to those who seek one of the most effective means of refreshment: the vibrant but careful exposition of Scripture that is written in a way that ministers God’s healing balm to those who hunger for him.— Ajith Fernando — Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka
