Glory Hunger: God, the Gospel, and Our Quest for Something More - Paperback

by Jr. Vassar (Author), Matt Chandler (Foreword by)

Whose glory are you seeking?

We all want to be significant. This is natural and good--evidence of our God-given desire for meaning and purpose. However, our longing for significance can easily twist into an insatiable craving for approval, recognition, and praise. If left unchecked, this craving will enslave us.

In Glory Hunger, pastor JR Vassar challenges us to renounce a life of reputation building, helping us find freedom in the gospel and joy in God's glory.

• Includes a foreword by Matt Chandler, best-selling author of The Explicit Gospel
• Helps readers fight against the tendency to be preoccupied with their "image" and what others think about them
• Addresses a wide range of topics, including the nature of God's glory, the fall of Adam and Eve, our obsession with outward appearances, and the proper use of social media
• Encourages readers to seek good for others rather than good from others
