Growing in Christ

J. I. Packer outlines the differences between faith and belief to help you grow in Christ. While “belief” suggests bare opinion, “faith,” whether in a car, a patent medicine, a protégé, a doctor, or a marriage partner, is a matter of treating the person or thing as trustworthy and committing yourself accordingly. The same is true of faith in God, and in a more far-reaching way.

In this excellent study, Packer takes an enlightening and lively look at the book of Nehemiah, gleaning from this man's life key principles of leadership, decision-making, obedience, and godliness that leaders need today.

Through this great leader's life, Christians in every sector are given a prescription for today's ailing church.
