Meditations on the Glory of GodIn these Meditations on the Glory of God, Dr. Fowler stimulates our sanctified imaginations to picture our Savior, the One who shed His blood on Calvary for our sins, in His thronal glory providentially governing, passionately seeking the lost, and programming our future. He helps us visualize in anthropomorphic, splendiferous images the glory of God, and enthusiastically describes the New Jerusalem. He brings to our sanctified imaginations the descriptions of the city and what it will be like to live there. He says, "Imagine how it will be to live for God, continually seeing His face, continually finding new opportunities to serve Him, within the splendorous and multicolored activity of that New Jerusalem. Dr. Fowler also shares with his readers God's infinite fullness. "All He is, all He has done, and is doing. Life is only life when life's meaning is to be" 'filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.' Habakkuk 2:14. Samuel W. Fowler was born November 30, 1934, in Washington, DC.
