Growing in Christ explains just thathow to grow in Christ. As this book shows, we mature spiritually by carefully learning and thoughtfully living the essentials of the Christian faith that are too often taken for granted or overlooked in our daily lives.
These essentialsso beautifully summarized in the Apostle's Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandmentsprovide the heart of the book, which Dr. Packer explores and applies to daily life in a clear and refreshing way. Study questions and Bible passages follow each chapter for further individual or group study.
