Cultivating an appetite for the things of God and growing spiritually in a world where it can be hard to even move against the flow can be difficult. This short book gives a fresh perspective on what ‘growing’ really means. We tend to see growth as an outcome of successful quiet times in prayer and in Bible study, and even regular church attendance; and stunted growth when those things are absent. Hindley shows us that we grow as part of a family, God’s family, with Him as our Father. It’s not about knowing our Bible better or even serving in ministry. It’s about growing as brothers and sisters into the likeness of our Father. This perspective helps us approach our Bible, our prayers, our church, our life and ultimately God, in a new way.
