Summary

What exactly does 'spiritual growth' mean? It's a common phrase thrown around in Christian circle, but many can not truly define it nor describe how to achieve it. Tony Evans helps readers get a grasp on this 'life essential' topic in his new, powerful book. Based on 2 Peter 3:18, Evans helps readers understand and cooperate with God's plan for growth. The author's prayer is that by God's grace people will not merely learn about new growth but will discover a fresh motivation to strengthen and deepen their relationship with the Lord.
