From Glory to Glory

Dedicated to Robert and Carol Hooley

From Glory to Glory – Handfuls on Purpose

By Their Daughters

Welcome to Words for Living. This website is dedicated to Robert and Carol Hooley by their loving daughters in honor and recognition of their faithful service to the Lord.

In loving memory of our father, Robert K. Hooley, we are sad to report his passing on September 7, 2021.  He joins our mother, Carol Hooley, who passed August 14, 2008.  We will forever hold them dear in our hearts.

Several years after our father retired from an active pulpit ministry, numerous Christian men and women asked us to consider preserving our father’s messages and books on an accessible website. We took up the project — which can easily be described as ambitious — without involving or informing our father.  Several months before our father passed away, we decided to show him the new website and his life testimony as written in From Glory to Glory – Handfuls on Purpose which was by then nearly completed.  Big surprise! It was a joyous time for the three of us. Our father was deeply moved by our gift of love to him and our mother.  We are reminded of that scripture in I Chronicles 29:13 which says, “Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days

may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Exodus 20:12

Robert and Carol’s walk with the Lord began in the spring of 1961 when Carol received a miracle healing and Robert rededicated his life to serving the Lord. These events set in motion an extraordinary story shared in From Glory to Glory – Handfuls on Purpose. It is the story of two changed lives and their subsequent service in the ministry for over fifty years. It is a remarkable account of God’s great love, mercy, and sovereignty.

From Glory to Glory – Handfuls on Purpose is a testament to their personal determination to finish the race that God set before them back in 1961. This story speaks to their commitment to the Lord to share the life-changing message of Jesus Christ and to preach and teach the whole counsel of God. The story is a witness to God’s great miracle power and love.

Audio recordings of Robert Hooley’s personal testimony from June 1977 and Carol Hooley’s personal testimony entitled, The Miracle Establishment of Faith Bible Chapel International from February 2008 are available. Their powerful, yet humble testimonies will encourage your soul and increase your faith in our Lord and Savior.

Carol Hooley’s message entitled, What Love Can Do in Your Life from February 1984 is available. This message shares the inspirational story of her stay in Israel with Brigadier General Natke Nir’s wife, Drora, who was critically ill. Carol’s message is on the power of love and how it can change lives. The story of these two women and the bond they formed during one of life’s worst situations is heartwarming and faith building.
