Glory Chasers
Discovering God’s Glory in Unexpected Places
Most of us would like to experience God’s glory, but we are not sure how to pursue it. Dorina Lazo Gilmore serves as a kind of “sherpa,” helping readers chase His glory in the most unexpected places and surprising ways. Using the metaphor of life as a race, Glory Chasers helps people discover God’s glory in both a Biblical and personal context. Dorina unfolds her story of discovering God’s glory in 2014 when she chose “glory” as her theme for the year. She had no idea how God would use that theme to challenge her, inspire her, and lift her during the darkest year of her life. These words help readers who face all kinds of uphill battles press on with perseverance and hope. Sessions explore:
Creation
Presence
Worship
Fame
Suffering
Community
Justice
Heaven
Glory Chasers is perfect for individual or group Bible study, exploring the topic of “glory.” Each week includes an opening essay and six days of reading and creative activities, journeying through the Bible. This workbook also includes some “bonus glory” features, including a worship playlist for each week and a leader’s guide at the back.

“Though my story and Dorina's are different, she became my Sherpa in the journey to gently walk back through some of those difficult times in my life and find God's glory there even in the midst of loss. And her creative framing of the glory theme through the weeks of the study challenged me to face the future with faith and trust. So glad I got to go through this study with a group and process what we were learning together. Dorina is not only a great writer, but a gifted speaker and leader, too!”

“I love this study so much! I completed the study with a group of friends. However, I moved overseas and had to Skype in for the sessions. I really loved staying connected with these friends and growing together over the themes in Glory Chasers. Most of the chapters were deeply impactful to me. Dorina Lazo Gilmore is a gifted writer. Her balance of authenticity and tender wisdom reaches straight to my heart's core. I found myself in tears a number of times, from both reading some of her own journey and story of redemption, to encountering deep places in my own soul that needed loving attention. I especially loved the chapter on Justice because it's so central to much of the darkness in our world today, and spending time in God's Word in Community (another chapter I love) is refining. I know individuals would also benefit from this study. So if you don't have a group to go through it with, I still highly recommend it. I want to be God's glory chaser! This study motivates my spirit to seek His glory and celebrate it in every circumstance.”

“This study by far touched me in ways I could not imagine speaking to my life experiences reminding me of how big God really is, then focusing on worshipping Him through ways more than just music, experiencing His presence in the little things, believing that through everything He deserves the praise, and through trial and victory, God is preparing my story to pass on to others in community so that I can care about others beyond my own comfort zone and all so that being part of God's kingdom, someone can be loved into heaven one day...we can anticipate heaven with great joy, peace, and calm... every women's ministry needs this study at the top of their yearly group studies..”
