May the undiscovered glory of a people be manifested in your generation. Endorsements Myles Munroe has the unique ability to search out and bring forth the practical meaning out of spiritual truth, to carefully remove the exterior coverings of religious jargon and spiritual cliches that obscure spiritual reality. He has done it again with The Glory of Living. Thousands have preached on the glory but few have exposed us to the spiritual depths of the glory of the Lord as Myles has done. Myles will open your eyes to the reflected glory of God inside you as you have never seen it before. This is not a “touchy, feel-good” kind of book. It takes the mys- tery out of the glory, unveiling powerful truths that unlock new vis- tas of His glorious presence, while portraying practical steps to walking in that glory. Don Nori Publisher, Destiny Image, Inc. Dr. Myles Munroe’s newest book, The Glory of Living, is a breath of fresh air for discouraged and disheartened people, believers and non-believers alike, who feel trapped in a mundane and mediocre existence. His insight on the hidden glory residing in each of us is the perfect prescription to inject new life and hope into weary 7 v hearts, infuse fresh excitement and meaning into ordinary lives, and lift readers into higher realms of realized potential and fulfill- ment of God’s purposes in the earth. Dr. Paul F. Crouch President, Trinity Broadcast Network You have a treasure hidden deep within you—a tangible “glory” to manifest God’s divine purpose for your life. In The Glory of Living, Dr. Myles Munroe demonstrates how to release the true essence of your heavenly calling in order to fully glorify the Lord. As you read this book, allow His spirit to change you supernatural- ly from glory to glory!
