Growing in Christ by distinguished author and educator J. I. Packer, explains just that--how to grow in Christ. As this book shows, we mature spiritually by carefully learning and thoughtfully living the essentials of the faith that are too often taken for granted or overlooked in our daily walk.

These essentials--so beautifully summarized in the Apostles' Creed, the Lord'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 life long 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.

Growing in Christ gives readers guidance to advance in their Christian walk and develop a lasting and sure faith.

"This is a companion piece to my book Knowing God." --J. I. Packer
