Standing Alone: The Life of Glenn Conjurske

By Nita Brainard

Glenn lived in the 20th century, but he didn't belong to it. His own generation lacked the capacity to understand him. It generally viewed his spirituality as eccentricity and his confidence as pride. His carefulness it regarded as caprice. His depth and forcefulness it misunderstood and ignored with the lukewarmness characteristic of the age-and equally uncharacteristic of Glenn. He walked with the great men of ages past, not confining himself to any one period of history or any one segment of Christianity, but fellowshipping through his books with men of every walk of life and every denomination of the church. With their help, he rose above the shallowness of the present day and thought and wrote with surprising variety, and with a depth as profound as it was unappreciated.Though he was largely misunderstood, Glenn believed in people and he loved them. He hoped and prayed for better things even in his own day. Sometimes he nearly despaired of being able to do any good in his generation, but he kept pressing on and looking to God to do what seemed impossible. He didn't see the day of grace he desired, but his faith and devotion are as much an example to us as they would be if he had-perhaps even more so in a day when success is magnified over truth, and when those are little esteemed who "obtained a good report through faith but received not the promise."
