This book will help Christians locate where they are spiritually and show them how to grow into the next stage of spiritual development.

The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Have you ever heard the saying "you are a child of God" and asked yourself, what exactly does that mean? If we are children of God, why do many of us walk in defeat in today's world? Wouldn't it be great to wake up everyday knowing with full confidence the authority and power we hold as believers in Jesus? How can we learn to walk in the authority God has given us? Many of us have these questions and demand answers. Many of us not only want to know, but need to know who we are in Christ Jesus. Child Of The Most High is written to teach the church the true meaning of biblical living. It is for the purpose of building Godly character and living our lives to glorify God and walk in spiritual authority. When you read this book, you will not only learn what it means to be a child of God by biblical standards, but how to live a life that is most pleasing to him and represents who He is.

A broadly experienced trio of rising church leaders share substantive research on churches and individuals that will help readers foster a culture wherein people intentionally grow in their Christian faith.

How People Grow reveals why all growth is spiritual growth and how you can grow in ways you never thought possible. Our desire to grow runs deep. Yet the issues in our lives and relationships that we wish would change often stay the same, even with our best efforts at spiritual growth. What does it take to experience increasing strength and depth in our spiritual walk, our marriages and family lives and friendships, our personal development--in everything life is about? And how can we help others move into growth that is profound and lasting? Unpacking the practical and passionate theology that forms the backbone of their counseling, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend shatter popular misconceptions about how God operates to reveal how growth really happens. You'll discover: What the essential processes are that make people grow. How those processes fit into a biblical understanding of spiritual growth and theology. How spiritual growth and real-life issues are one and the same. What the responsibilities are of pastors, counselors, and others who assist people in growing What your own responsibilities are in your personal growth.
