The Cup and the Glory: What's New

"Dr. Jim Rosscup says in his article on 'The Priority of Prayer in Preaching' that 'prayer is not an elective but the principal element in the kaleidoscope of spiritual characteristics that mark a preacher. These traits unite into a powerful spiritual force. They build a spokesman for God.' In this book written by the Professor of Bible Exposition at The Master’s Seminary, Greg Harris presents a powerful spiritual force that challenges the reader to live out what Scripture reveals on the road of suffering. The lessons he builds are sign posts on this road that reveal the human heart, the depravity of man, the believer’s ongoing struggle with trust, the walk of faith, the unexpected challenges, the bearing up under adversity, God’s work of perfecting, and the sufferers increased sensitivity to God’s glory.

"As I sat around the dinner table with several TMS men, the discussion of this book centered on the very personal nature of suffering and how Dr. Harris’s lessons on suffering caused many to examine wounds that had festered but had never healed. One talked about the death of a believing father while dealing with the contempt for a hard-hearted, faithless mother; another discussed anger and disappointment with God with the suffering of his child; and still another added only tears for a brother dying of cancer. This then is the real strength of the book; it draws the reader into a Biblical discussion of suffering and forces examination where pain may have been a roadblock. As Dr. Harris states, 'Deep treasures lay embedded in God’s Word, ready to be mined and assayed.' This book is rich with spiritual principles dug by a prospector eagerly willing to share his nuggets of truth with Biblical certainty. If you liked D.A. Carson’s book on prayer, A Call to Spiritual Reformation or D. Edmond Hiebert’s book, Working with God Through Prayer, you will thoroughly enjoy The Cup and the Glory . . . again and again and again."



Some of the Reviews/Responses About the Book...
"Dr. Greg Harris, a modern-day Job belonging to the society of mourners and sufferers, authentically expresses the bright hope of God’s eternal glory that places even the darkest cup of earthly pain in perspective. He tenderly details from Scripture and his own pilgrimage on pain’s pathway how God graciously and lovingly employs suffering to draw true believers in Christ nearer to Him. Whether you now suffer or comfort those who do, this is a must read."
John MacArthur President \| The Master's College and Seminary Pastor-Teacher \| Grace Community Church	NEWS
"God beckons 'place your life in my hands.' It is only when we reach the point of absolute surrender that we embrace the absolute sovereignty of God. God then allows entrance into the pathway of His will and wonder of His glory. In The Cup and the Glory, Greg Harris unlocks the Scripture and opens the doorway into his personal experience so we see more clearly that we can trust God with our lives."
Larry A. Mercer President \| Washington Bible College and Capital Bible Seminary
