Synopsis

A writing born out of the desire to know Christ more fully and to understand His glory and sacrifice more completely, this work inspires and encourages an increase in both faith and theological understanding. Focusing on the role, nature, and example of Jesus Christ, Owen ties together the Savior’s sacrifice on Earth to His ultimate glory and transformation at the Father’s side. Owen’s words reflect and therefore spark a unique craving to personally witness Christ in all of His heavenly and fully realized glory. This naturally spurs the Christian on in his journey to become more like Christ as he dwells so deeply on this eternal beauty and perfection.

Goodreads review by Ryan

In the book, Owen strongly argues that the glory of Christ is the central thing the Christian should aim at seeing. It is by beholding Christ's glory that the Christian is truly changed and becomes more spiritual. Moreover, it is this glory that we now behold by faith, and that by beholding it by fa......more
