Jerry Bridges is one of the most articulate and audience engaging Bible teachers of our era. In Growing Your Faith: How To Mature In Christ, Jerry showcases the essential elements of a Christian life in his usual and wonderfully accessible style. Readers will learn how to deepen and enhance their relationship with Jesus, acknowledge the role of the Holy Spirit in a Christian pursuit of holiness and spirituality, -- and just exactly what it means in this present day to follow Christ in a secular and all to often hostile world. Highly recommended reading!

For the new or not-so-new believer that needs practical instruction in how to grow in the Lord this book is an invaluable resource.

Growing Your Faith by Jerry Bridges is a book that instructs how to grow in your walk with the Lord. Topics include discipline, praying, humility, accountability, praying with others, saying no, and trusting God among many other subjects.

The first couple of chapters did not entice me to continue. I was extremely tempted to give up on the book. I decided to set it aside and come back to see how I felt about continuing. I cannot pinpoint what it was about the book that did not grab my attention. Maybe it was my inability to absorb the information effectively. When I came back to the book the next day, I very much enjoyed the book. It was very refreshing.

I am glad that God opened my eyes to absorb the information provided within the pages after the second try. I think we all want to strengthen our walk, and this book helps to give us the tools to do just that.

I had to read this book for a Christian counseling class. It was very enjoyable and easy to read. As I read this book, I realized that my faith truly grew. I then ordered more books so that it can be used as a Sunday School curriculum. I would recommend this book to everyone.

I haven't read this one yet, but have read The Pursuit of Holiness and have started The Practice of Godliness and The Discipline of Grace. Each of them has been incredible. I will read the Pursuit of Holiness over and over throughout my life. Romans 12:3 tells us to have a sober self assessment and the Pursuit of Holiness helped me with that. I found myself constantly in my bible while reading this book devouring the verses. And my church read The Discipline of Grace for our womens' study. Must read for every Christian! Be prepared to search your heart.
