## Resource

In this conversation, we speak with John Sweat, Jared Ebert, Dewey Dovel, James Edwards, Justin Miller, and Jason Gunter on their new book "From Dust to Glory: The Fourfold State of Man." The aim of this joint project by the Savoring the Savior Fellows is to unpack the theology of the fourfold state of man for the building up of the ordinary Christian. Because we are created for God, our souls find their only true Sabbath in Him. Through the Scriptures, God provides the dual knowledge of the Creator and the self—a knowledge that guards against idolatry and anchors the soul in true worship. Grasping this story of dust to glory will cause you to long to be increasingly transformed into the image of God in Christ and long to enter the state of glory with Him.
