Three ’windows’ to spiritual maturity How can a faithful Christian avoid stagnating in their spiritual development? Moving Toward Spiritual Maturity: Psychological, Contemplative, and Moral Challenges in Christian Living explores effective ways in which Christian discipleship can grow in spiritual maturity. This thoughtful, integrative roadmap explains the journey through three interrelated perspectives, or ’windows,’ psychotherapeutic psychology, prayer and contemplation, and moral theology. The author uses numerous examples from everyday life to make the reflections interesting and practical. Unlike other books on Christian spirituality, this book is more challenging and sophisticated in its depth of thought. Spiritual maturity is a process that begins when a person accepts Jesus Christ as Savior, and progresses ongoing through a Christian’s life. Moving Toward Spiritual Maturity discusses in detail the challenges one must face, including the sustained, in-depth, and faithful attention to psychological wholeness, conversion to the true self, and interpersonal and social responsibility. Effective strategies are given through example and personal story, making understanding of the principles easier. This reflection on Christian maturity helps readers to focus directly on the personal issues all must face when attuning to the Spirit of Christ. Topics in Moving Toward Spiritual Maturity include: reforming the wayward self moral or guilt-based perfectionism achievement or shame-based perfectionism the two types of conversion responsibility and accountability agape and the loving of oneself three virtues at the heart of the responsible life—integrity, courage, and compassion virtues as habits the relationship between personal fulfillment and the Christian vocation Moving Toward Spiritual Maturity is a unique look at the path toward spiritual maturity, and is challenging, thoughtful reading for laypersons, ministers, priests, and theological students.

Jesus commissioned His apostles""and, by extension, the church""to make disciples. Many church leaders have come to the conclusion that attending worship services and Bible study classes will result in making disciples. A review of statistical reports indicates a majority of church members and attenders do not believe this process will work, or they have come to the conclusion they do not want to become disciples. The 2010 US Religion Census report indicated 79% of the 150,686,156 members, children, and other attenders did not attend worship services. It also reported over 60% of the same group did not attend Bible study classes. In 2014 one of the major denominations in the United States reported 63% of church members did not attend worship services and 62% did not attend Bible study classes. There are literally thousands of spiritual surveys available to church leaders. A majority of these surveys develop conclusions based on a single survey being administered or two surveys being administered several months apart. If a disciple-making process is to be effective, there needs to be a method of measuring the progress of individuals moving toward spiritual maturity. This type of measurement would produce a visual of spiritual growth, spiritual decline, or spiritual non-growth. The only way to measure the spiritual progress of an individual is to create a measurement of the various elements of the spiritual life. The process of measuring spiritual maturity in this book is self-contained within the participating church, and the responses of the participating individuals are highly confidential and warehoused by the participating church.

"Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development." says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian - How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature, godly leaders "True growth takes time and tears and love and patience," Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church.

How many times have you made a decision or told someone something only to regret doing it as the words were coming out of your mouth? The apostle Paul was no different from us in this regard. He stated in scriptures that what he wanted to do he did not do and what he did not want to do he found himself doing in spite of himself. The apostle Paul discovered ways to address this seemingly insurmountable obstacle to his growth as a Christian, and so will you in this book. In Excellence of Soul I will share from the Bible what it says about the soul and how you can learn to control your emotions in every situation of life. This book is full of biblical truths and experiences from over twenty-five years of seeking answers to one of the most important areas of the Christian walk. Please join me in finding growth and healing.

This volume, "Life Journeys toward Wholeness," focuses on wellness, transformation, and spiritual maturity. First, a holistic approach to personal wellness/healing by identifying some factors causing brokenness, imbalance, and disharmony and then by considering proactive remedies for the identified obstacles: wellness in physical dimension; wellness in psychological dimension; wellness in spiritual dimension. Second, a psycho-spiritual approach to integration and personal transformation toward True Self: *Self-knowledge by understanding personality types according to the Enneagram; *Self-realization by inner works of personal and spiritual transformation; *Self-transcendence by integrating the Enneagram's wisdom and Christian spirituality from the distorted ways of thinking, feeling, and doing (willing). Third, a better way toward spiritual maturity that is rooted in our radical trust in God--not trusting in human resources and our abilities-- will manifest all the fullness of faith, hope and love; *"Work of faith" by following Jesus Christ through spiritual discipleship; *"Steadfastness of hope" of anticipating the human's hopeful redemption through the in-breaking of the Kingdom of God; *"Labor of love' of doing justice and compassionate provision for those who are poor and in need. Fourth, a better place for "making people whole" is the Church--the body of Christ where hurting or lost souls are cared and/or cured and where believers are called to become compassionate disciples who are equipped with different spiritual gifts. They are: *Soul-caring a soul-curing; *Providing one another with love, acceptance, and forgiveness; *Witnessing our "Christ-likeness" manifested in our daily living, so that the world will know and believe the God of Creation, Redemption, and Sustenance; *Encouraging one another in our spiritual journeys together toward spiritual maturity. AN ACRONYM FOR W.H.O.L.E.N.E.S.S is: Work of faith; Healing (wellness); Opening our souls to God's presence; Labor of love; Ego-transcendent living; Nurturing discipleship; Encouraging sojourners toward spiritual maturity; Steadfastness of hope; Servant ministry.
