This Side of Glory - by Higher Things (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

For 25 years, Higher Things has gathered from coast to coast and everywhere in between to clearly proclaim the Gospel to youth and young adults, to dare them to be Lutheran, to show them that their salvation was won for them by Jesus Christ on the Cross.

This collection of 26 essays celebrates each of our conferences as we reflect upon the whole counsel of God, bit by bit, year by year. Written by the presenter, the preacher, the group leader, the attendee, the staff member, these essays reflect why Higher Things not only chose the theme, but why Higher Things continues to return to each of the themes in everything we do, and why Higher Things's mission to make the Gifts of Christ Jesus known to youth and young adults knows no timeframe.

Review Quotes

"This collection of essays offers more than a historical timeline; it provides a testament to God's faithfulness as manifested in Higher Things ministry over 25 years. It's a reminder of the power of the means of grace when consistently and clearly delivered to the next generation. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone invested in the future of the LCMS, especially pastors, church workers, parents, and young adults themselves. It is an inspiring read that not only documents the past of a faithful organization but also serves as an encouragement for future ministry. May the mission of Higher Things--to point all youth to Jesus--ever continue!" - Rev. Dr. Jamison J. Hardy, President of Concordia University System LCMS
