Book Description

Born Again Is Only the Beginning!

Yes, having Christ as your personal Savior is only the beginning. After that, you have to grow up! Many problems in our lives are caused by spiritual immaturity. God wants us to grow up, not just grow old. And He has given us the formula for maturity in the Epistle of James.

In discussing Christian maturity, Dr. Wiersbe shows you:
• How to learn to be patient
• How to overcome temptation
• How to practice what the Bible teaches
• How to learn to control the tongue
• How to make peace rather than trouble
• How to pray and get results

It's all in BE MATURE

4.0 out of 5 stars Great "meatier" study to do with new Christians!, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Be Mature (Be Series) (Paperback)

This book has the ability to remain current. I first went through it 18 years ago, and it is just as sharp today. The truths of James exhort us to "grow up", yet they are expressed in a way that makes them tremendously appealing.

This review is from: Be Mature (Be Series) (Paperback)

I found this book very easy to read. He sticks with the scripture and really focuses on each verse. The book is great for indvidual study as well as group study. I felt he was able to make his points in language that a Chritian could apply to everyday life. He was able to relate the scripture which was written years ago, to the lives of Christians in these times. The letters written long ago are to be applied to today just as they were long ago. Jesus is never changing. I felt Wierse did an excellent job in encouraging us to 'be mature'.
