This book was released on 2022-08-22T22:59:00Z with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The fourfold definition of spiritual formation is as a process, of being formed, in the image of Christ, and for the sake of others. It is a process of involvement with God’s gracious work, and it is a rebellion against God’s work that leads to a destructive and dehumanizing emptiness. #2 Scripture reveals that human wholeness is always realized in the act of nurturing one another toward wholeness, whether within the covenant community of God’s people or in the role of God’s people in healing brokenness and injustice in the world. #3 The Christian journey is a process, not a day-by-day experience with its ups and downs, victories and defeats, and successes and failures. It is a process that requires of us a limited involvement of our time and energies. If we do not receive the desired results almost instantly, we become impatient and frustrated. #4 Spiritual growth is similar to physical growth. We do not expect to put an infant into its crib at night and in the morning find a child, an adolescent, or yet an adult. We expect that infant to grow into maturity according to the processes that God has ordained for physical growth.

Download or read book How Christians Grow written by Andrew James Prince and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When someone becomes a Christian, they enter into a lifelong journey of God-driven transformation into the likeness of Christ. But what does this transformation process look like, and what means does God use to bring about spiritual growth? How does a Christian continue growing spiritually? How do they prevent the practice of the spiritual discipline of meditating on God's word from become mechanical when they may have read through the Bible many times? How do they mature in prayer? And how do they continue being conformed to the image of Christ for the rest of their lives rather than simply putting their spiritual gearstick into neutral and coasting into eternity? This book seeks to answer such questions. It begins by exploring the contours of this spiritual transformation into Christlikeness before introducing various means God uses to bring this about. The book seeks to give hope and instruction, both to the weary and to the strong, so that they can grow more like Christ through the means of grace that God has provided.
