The moment things stop growing, they start dying. Not only is that true of every living thing, it is also true of the Christian life. So whether we have been a Christian for a short time or for many years, we need to keep growing; and if we don’t, we have already started dying. It is to help with this essential need for ongoing growth that The Spiritual Growth Bible™ has been created.
