Salvation begins with faith but many Christians are frustrated trying to live the Christian life in this world. They want to serve Christ but find that they fail again and again in their attempts to get victory over sin, overcome the flesh, die to the self, and love others. Most have no definite idea of how these goals are to be achieved. This should not be the case because the Bible gives us a clear road map to spiritual and psychological maturity; it is accomplished revelation by revelation as we grow in our knowledge of God. It is not enough to have the knowledge of God in our minds or even to love Him with our emotions-faith must grow in our spirit. Only through this kind of faith is it possible to overcome our selfishness, develop the self-discipline necessary to conquer sin, and achieve a life of peace motivated by unconditional love. This book clearly and concretely explains each step in this process, identifies the spiritual revelations required, and provides methods and models for assisting us in moving to the next step. The goal of this book is to remove the mystery that shrouds the process of spiritual and psychological growth so that the path to spiritual maturity can be clearly seen and followed.
