Kingdom living : the essentials of spiritual growth

Tired of religion ? Longing for relationship ? You're not alone. Most Christians yearn to grow spiritually, but many don't know how to begin. Some seek maturity through deeds or doctrine. But Tony Evans reminds us that flourishing faith comes from a vibrant walk with Christ. "If you are pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ and are passionately committed to bringing Him glory, your spiritual life will grow at a speed you never imagined possible," says Evans. In Kingdom Living: The Essentials for Spiritual Growth , Tony Evans helps us to understand God's plan for our maturity, addressing topics like conversion, the Holy Spirit, power, and Scripture. You'll discover how: Knowing God better is a passion more than a process. Experiencing God deeper is a matter of the heart first, then the mind. Loving God more is what we do when we follow the God who first loved us. "Tired of religion? Longing for relationship?You're not alone.
