Changed from Glory into Glory: Wesleyan Prayer for Transformation
	By Paul W. Chilcote It's not enough to pray. To fully experience the transformation, restoration, and renewal available through Christ (or as the beloved hymn says, "changed from glory into glory"), we need to grow in prayer. "True prayer moves us to act, and it is the root of our being transformed," Chilcote writes. "The way of Jesus is not a detached glory but a glory relevant. Prayer creates intimacy with God and reveals to us who we really are." Changed from Glory into Glory will carry you on a gospel prayer tour — from the Transfiguration through the Resurrection.
