The answer lies in our understanding of God. When we see God in His majestic glory, we find peace and joy even in the turmoil of life. Through daily devotionals covering each of God's attributes, The Lighthouse invites the reader to investigate God's character in order to delight in Him and discover the joy of worshiping Him in His multi-faceted glory. For twenty weeks, the reader will explore the radiance of God's attributes to grow deeper in a relationship with Him and find security in troubled times.Glenn Daman writes as a pastor, equally familiar with the text of the Bible and the struggles of people. These reflections were born out of his love for his church as they lived through a pandemic. It was a gift to them and will be a gift to any sincere reader. This twenty-week meditation on the attributes of God will do just what the title suggests -- it will provide a guiding light through dark times. -- Scott Reavely, DMin, Lead Pastor, New Life Church. Board of Trustees, Western SeminaryGlenn Daman brings a pastor’s heart to the task of responding to God’s immeasurable character and relating to Him in His majestic compassionate grace. Spending twenty weeks pondering the beauty of God will result in a deepened experience of His present reality. Take and read and grow deep in the wonder of our loving Lord. -- Gerry Breshears, PhD, Professor of Theology, Western Seminary, PortlandGlenn Daman’s twenty-week devotional focuses on God’s character. Each day builds upon this theme, providing a tightly woven tapestry that helps readers see God more clearly. Personally, I plan to re-read this multi-layered devotional again and again, gleaning from Glenn’s excellent work. This devotional has already become a foundational part of my daily quiet time!I recommend this devotional to anyone wanting to know more about the nature and the characteristics of God. It is an excellent tool for those wanting to grow deeper in their relationship with God. The more we learn of God’s radiance, the more we are changed into His glorious likeness!-- Dr. Jeffrey Clark, Global Rural Researcher, International Missions Board & Wheaton CollegeGlenn Daman has written a wonderful twenty-week devotional guide focusing readers on the character of God. It reminds me of A.W. Tozer's Knowledge of the Holy in scope, but it reflects twenty-first century Christianity rather than the 1950s. It is balanced theologically, and it is written for the believer who wants and needs a practical dose of God's Word! I appreciated Glenn's linkage of a teaching introduction for each weekly concept along with bite-sized daily readings to help us think more completely about the character concept. Pastor Glenn reminds us: "God's purpose is not just to save us from sin but also to an eternal relationship with Him. Eternal life is not just living forever in heaven; it is to enter into a lasting relationship with God that begins now and is culminated in heaven. God desires to be a part of our life. He redeems us to be transformed into the image of His Son. He wants to change us." This would be a great book for a congregation to read and reflect upon God's character together. I recommend it. -- Rev. Patrick A. Blewett, D.Min., Ph.D., Dean at A.W. Tozer Seminary and Special Projects at Simpson University, Author of Discovering Our Roots, Establishing Our Legacy...more
