Glimpse Grace: Gloria Furman

Meet my former whip-smart DTS student and friend Gloria, who just wrote a book you should know about:

I'm a church planter's wife, mother to young children (#4 is due next month), and a cross-cultural worker in the Middle East. My life is all things mundane, busy, and (at times) super messy.

So, why did I write Glimpses of Grace: Treasuring the Gospel in Your Home in the middle of all this? For far too long the mundane loomed larger than eternal life for me. I wrote this book because I wanted to remind myself (and others) that every mundane moment of the day contains the potential to plunge our hearts into worship of the Living God whose matchless kindness leads us to repentance.

For far too long I’d bought the lie that “this, too, shall pass” was the hope that I needed to cling to. But the hope that I need to cling to is that God’s faithfulness will never pass, and because of the person and work of Jesus Christ, I am constantly running headlong into his future grace. Learning to cherish the gospel became key for me in beginning to understand this, and living in my home is the primary place where I need to work out these heart-anchoring truths.
