From the Back Cover:

Awed to repentance by the infinite holiness of the Father.
Challenged to surrender by the triumphant humility of the Son.
Energized to service by the transforming power of the Spirit. Spiritual maturity is not a level of growth Christians achieve, but the passion to press on in Christ.

In these concise chapters, J. Oswald Sanders explores the primary source of continual growth. As we embrace God’s providence, the work of the Holy Spirit, the character Christ desires, the terms of discipleship, hardship, and more, we can move from infancy toward the fruitful maturity we were created to enjoy.

Now, this new edition of Spiritual Maturity includes a “For Reflection” section, making it an ideal resource for both individual and group study.
