Part of the Spiritual Transformation series, this study book covers how to really grow as a Christian. Our group took a long time over it and I think it has been the best study book I've used so far. I can't compare it to eg John Ortberg's other study books on the same sort of area, eg "The Life You've Always Wanted", since I haven't used them, but as it is, I would certainly highly recommend this to any group.

We found that the best way to use it is to do each study over 2 weeks - read the talky bit and do the first few questions, then have people do the 'homework' or challenge during the week and come back and discuss the results the following week, then finish up the study. It's easy to lead because of the number of questions and additional information - the leader doesn't have to spend hours preparing, so leading can easily be shared around.

Overall, I recommend the series as a whole to anyone, and this book, personally speaking, is the best of the series.

Our group all commented that they found this book very helpful.

Overall, I recommend the series as a whole to anyone, and this book, while not necessarily the best one in the series, maintains the standard of quality studies that should gently challenge any group.
