God is stirring a profoundly deep cry in our hearts today for nothing short of a full-blown invasive explosion of God's Glory in the earth. Written with practical applications to worship leading ministries, this book articulates the difference between the Presence of God and the Glory of God. You love the Presence of God, but you'll never be satisfied until you see the Glory of God. Get ready -- God's Glory is about to invade our planet!

Preachers often quote this majestic promise in describing the consummation of history, the restoration of all things at the end of time. But few seek to uncover the passion of God in this promise: He wants us to know His glory, and He wants us to know it here on earth. What on Earth Is Glory? is one man's journey into this desire of God. From Mt. Sinai to the Cross, from a solitary confinement cell to the snowboarding slopes of Mammoth Lakes, from fathers and mothers to sons and daughters, from time to eternity, Paul Manwaring traces the revelation of God’s glory, uncovering the patterns of His divine design and purpose in all things, and inviting others to join him in making the audacious request Moses made millennia ago: “Show me Your glory.”

As you read the scenes written in this book, you will unlock some of the many mysteries of nature and science of our great earth. You will see the Lord's love, design, and handiwork displayed in his marvelous creation. You will learn and understand how the Lord has placed his personal attributes and distinctive features throughout this beautiful world, only to realize the earth is full of his glory!
