Summary

Growing in Christexplains just that-how 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 essentials-so beautifully summarized in the Apostlers"s Creed, the Lordrs"s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments-provide 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.Speaking to Christians of all backgrounds and denominations, the newly converted as well as the lifelong believer, Dr. Packer reminds us that Christianity is not instinctive. Ours is a faith that must be learned, and we must never stop striving to mature."Packer is lucid, often illustrates well, and is orderly. A good brief discussion appears on what would be true for Christianity if Jesus had not risen. Packer also has good reasons Christians can validly believe that Jesus did rise. A number of other fine discussions are helpful, such as what heaven means, Christrs"s public future coming, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, bodily resurrection, everlasting life, baptism, baptism in the Spirit." James E. Rosscup, The Masterrs"s Seminary Journal"Maturity in the spiritual life, like its counterparts in the social and emotional realms, requires conscious effort. Renowned author J. I. Packer gives the benefit of his extended experiences in achieving growth in Christ. Donrs"t expect a book of doctrines that only theologians can understand. Packer clothes doctrine with practical everyday living applications." Glen H. Jones, Pulpit Helps"Packer does an exceptionally fine job of providing simple analyses of profound material. His insights invite further reflection, development, and discussion. The book is worth owning. Anyone who wishes to preach about, discuss, or simply reflect on the ls"three great formulaers" of the Christian faith and their incorporation into the historic catechisms would be enriched by Packerrs"s Growing in Christ." Wilbert M. Van Dyk, Calvin Theological Journal
