You’ve heard lots of “biblical” answers, but the question remains . . . How Do You Grow? Our desire to grow runs deep. Yet the issues in our lives that we wish would change often stay the same, even with our best efforts to build ourselves up spiritually. What does growth look like―and how can we grow? 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 and how growth 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 specific tasks and tips are that will help pastors, counselors, and others who assist people in growing―and what your own responsibilities are in your personal growth Shining focused light on the great doctrines and themes of Christianity, How People Grow shows why all personal growth is spiritual growth. Designed for use with How People Grow, the How People Grow Workbook will help you translate biblical principles into a practical path of growth in all the vital areas of your life―your relationship with God, your marriage and family life, your friendships, your sticking points, your personal development, and everything that life is about. Suitable for personal or small group use, this fascinating, hands-on volume is filled with true-life examples, questions for reflection or discussion, “Tips for Growers,” and probing insights that can help you experience the kind of change and growth you’ve longed for―and that Jesus has promised.

It encourages you to look beyond the surface and explore the deeper spiritual dimensions that underlie these challenges.

By understanding the role of the spirit in our lives, we can gain a newfound sense of purpose and direction, and be better equipped to overcome the obstacles that come our way.

I have delved into this book, but it is one that demands you to re-read what you have just perused in order to truly grasp it! And indeed, I am determined to get it.

This book seems to possess a certain complexity that requires a more in-depth exploration. The ideas and concepts presented within its pages are not immediately obvious and straightforward.

Each time I re-read a passage, I discover new nuances and subtleties that I might have missed during the initial reading.

It is as if the book is gradually revealing its secrets to me, layer by layer.

I am not one to shy away from a challenge, and so I am committed to persevering until I have fully understood the essence of this book.

I believe that the effort I am putting in now will be well worth it in the end, as I will have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject matter.
