Spiritual maturity doesn't happen by accident. The six sessions in this study equip you for the basic habits of spiritual growth: relying on the Holy Spirit, cultivating time in the Bible and prayer, seeing life's obstacles as opportunities for growth, and partnering with Christians who are committed to supporting your growth. Here is a realistic, practical path to growing strong in faith and Christian character. 'Doing Life Together is a groundbreaking study...[It's] the first small group curriculum built completely on the purpose-driven paradigm...The greatest reason I'm excited about [it] is that I've seen the dramatic changes it produces in the lives of those who study it.' ---From the foreword by Rick Warren Based on the five biblical purposes that form the bedrock of Saddleback Church, Doing Life Together will help your group discover what God created you for and how you can turn this dream into an everyday reality. Experience the transformation firsthand as you begin Connecting, Growing, Developing, Sharing, and Surrendering your life together for him.

This review is from: Growing to Be Like Christ (Paperback)

I found it easy to teach to my home group. We were able to follow the format, gain understanding and grow in Christ. The students found the projects challenging and enjoyed doing them. We looked forward to starting our next book.
