How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals About Personal Growth

Cloud and Townsend have written a helpful book for people who want to understand and find out how they can grow and also for others, like pastors and counselors, who are helping people grow. The authors show how Scriptures have provided the keys to growth which can help them to resolve issues of relationships, maturity, emotional problems, and overall spiritual growth. For Christians, the authors rightly point out that growth is not about self-actualization but one's personal sanctification by God. A helpful book to recommend to growing Christians and people-helpers.

When asked how people grow spiritually, most people reply by saying: """"just pray and read your bible"""". This book shows how growth is that and so much more! It verbalises clearly how growth is the process that gets individuals back to the way they were meant to be. It is insightful and very practical (which is good for blokes) as it illumintates how the bible shows us, not just ideal way to be, but how God wants us to get there. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book will bring up the issues for you to deal with which makes it hard to read more than a chapter without having to spend a while responding to what it resonates within. For that reason, its one of the best books I have ever read, and will keep reading time and time again.
