How do we glorify God?
Soli deo gloria. This familiar phrase has been used since the Reformation to convey the truth that our purpose for existence is God's glory alone. In a time when so many are seeking a reason to live, this booklet offers a concise understanding of the concept of God's glory, God's desire to restore his nature in us, so that we may reflect his glory in our words, our actions, and our very being.

This booklet may only be 42 pages but it sure packs a punch! Dr. John Hannah jumps right into Reformed Theology by diving into the Five Sola's of the Reformation; scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone and glory to God alone. Hannah frequently quotes Jonathon Edwards and addressed topics like why God created the world and man, the awfulness of sin, what saving faith looks likes and much more.
After reading this booklet I feel like I have more questions than answers on one level, but on another level, I feel I have a much clearer understanding as to why God created us and how to best glorify Him. I highly recommend this booklet, but I recommend reading it in small chunks and taking your time with it. Sarah Norton
