From Here to Maturity
Thomas E. BerglerPaperback 2014-11-27
Publisher Description
:Americans in general are not sure they want to grow up. American Christians, according to national studies, prefer an emotionally comforting, self-focused, and intellectually shallow faith. But spiritual maturity is desirable, says Thomas Bergler. Fortunately, it is not complicated or mysterious; it is just neglected. From Here to Maturity is an excellent guide that will help both individuals and whole faith communities to grow. Bergler defines spiritual maturity as basic competence in the Christian life and identifies its content (traits) from pertinent New Testament passages. He further offers a wealth of practical, research-based guidance as to how Christian leaders can effectively foster spiritual maturity in their congregations.
