How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals about Personal Growth



All growth is spiritual growth. Authors Drs. Cloud and Townsend unlock age-old keys to growth from Scripture to help people resolve issues of relationships, maturity, emotional problems, and overall spiritual growth. They shatter popular misconceptions about how God operates and show that growth is not about self-actualization, but about God’s sanctification. In this theological foundation to their bestselling book Boundaries, they discuss:

• 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 responsibilities are of pastors, counselors, and others who assist people in growing—and what your own responsibilities are in your personal growth

It is crucial to understand that God is in charge of human potential. All things were created for him and by him.

Holiness is wholeness.

The glory of God is man fully alive is that life consists in beholding God. As we grow into the likeness of Christ, we become fully alive.

Praying that you become fully alive, beloved
