?The glory of God is a silver thread which must run through all our actions.? That?s how Puritan pastor Thomas Watson described the importance of the glory of God for the Christian life. God?s greatest concern is His glory?the Bible is clear about that. He will not give it to anyone else, and failure to glorify Him certainly warrants eternal judgement. But God?s glory is more than a mandate for His creation. He has intertwined it with our identity so we are unable to find meaningful purpose apart from displaying His glory in every part of life. Many Christians today are bombarded with philosophies, programs, and self-help books promising them a meaningful and purposeful life. But instead of helping them achieve their goal, they distract from the true source of meaning and purpose. How Do We Glorify God provides an accessible, clear, and practical guide to help Christians find meaningful purpose in a world of distractions. Through Puritan thought and Biblical study, faithfulness to Christ and His gospel is inspired, pressing questions about sin and suffering are covered, hope in the promises of God is instilled, and eternal satisfaction is guaranteed.

"There is a happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience and practical wisdom throughout all his works.” —Charles Spurgeon Thomas Watson, vicar at St. Stephen’s Walbrook, was one of England’s most popular preachers of the mid 17th Century—despite being imprisoned for a year for his refusal to conform to ecclesiastical pressures of his day. Watson left behind a legacy of writings—including The Art of Divine Contentment, The Body of Divinity, and The Happiness of Drawing Near to God—that have influenced both theologians and common people for centuries. Now Patti Hummel has pulled together a year of readings from the man built around his favorite theme that "man’s chief aim is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.”
