ahead, and it will be necessary to keep in view the great goal before us. The coming days will
be as a race that requires much endurance. Those who will run best will be those who
discern what awaits them at the finish line. The cross is best borne when we can see the joy
that lies beyond it.

Hebrews 12:1-2
Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Yahshua,
the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross...

When I began to send out the chapters of The Hope of Glory four years ago, I was met
with objections. None of the objections convinced me of error in that which was being
shared. The chief objection was simply that those reading could not see the purpose and
benefit of that which was being declared. A hope of future glory seemed to lack immediate
relevance.
I am convinced, however, that understanding the things which will be shared in the
chapters of this book will be radically transforming. They will encourage the fainthearted.
They will add resolve to those who are wavering with taking up the cross. They will help to
renew a commitment to follow Christ wherever He would lead. They will result in a real and
profound joy at the plan of the Father for His sons and daughters. They will also lead to a
greatly heightened mindset, lifting the saints of God above the shallow expectations, low
living, and base thoughts that are so prevalent among Christians today.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding as you read,
