Description
Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’? In this valuable book, Paul Wells takes the reader through the five conditions favourable for growth in Christ: planting in the right place for spiritual life to begin; rooting in the biblical teaching of the word of God; growing up to stability in Christ; maturity and vitality through the work of the Spirit; and fruitfulness as the outcome of growth into Christ.
Includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter.
