The Growing Christian: How To Live As Emotionally, Spiritually, And Relationally Mature Adults: Women'S Spirituality

The author in this book provides awareness of the emotional issues that can plague and handicap many individuals in our churches; she shares not just stories of her own personal self-discoveries but also shares stories of her heroes who have joined her in their journey of healing and have committed to making their transition into a healthier state. The writer makes one memorable point in the book about labeling people because of their actions and how dangerous that can be. She says we must understand the root of the action so we can get help and be healthy emotionally and mature spiritually. Without emotional intelligence and personal growth, our lives will be like the seed that fell among thorns (Luke 8:14). We will not be able to most effectively or spiritually handle life's worries, riches, and pleasures, and we will not mature. This book addresses issues that we must consider in order to live as emotionally, spiritually and relationally mature adults. Not a "quick read" book, it contains scriptures to contemplate, personal sharing, paradigm-changing insights, and reflection questions.
