Do you want to delve into the riches of the gospel more deeply and live out of them more consistently? This three volume work explores the central truths of Scripture so that those who are already familiar with the basics of the Christian faith continue to grow in understanding the height, breadth, and depth of God's Holy Word. At the same time, our God gave us sound doctrine for daily living. Thus, each chapter draws connections to everyday life as it is experienced by moms and dads, teens and young adults, married and unmarried, as well as people who are healthy, sick, happy, and distressed-in short, real people living real lives in a really broken world.
Growing in the Gospel is appropriate for adult Bible study groups, "College & Careers" study groups, adult education or post-confession classes, office bearer training, and personal spiritual enrichment. All major doctrines are covered and contents include discussion questions for study groups and a combined index to find topics easily.
Available formats: Volumes 1-3 (separate paperbacks); Volumes 1-3 (ebooks); Combined Volume containing all three volumes (hardback)
