Growing in the Gospel: Sound Doctrine for Daily Living [3 Volume Set]

Book Description:

Do you want to delve into the riches of the gospel more deeply ... and live out of them more consistently?

In this three-volume set the central truths of scripture are explored in such a way that those who are already familiar with the basics of the Christian faith can continue to grow in understanding the height, breadth and depth of God's Holy Word. To borrow a phrase from the apostle Paul, these books are for those who are ready for some good solid spiritual food (1 Corinthians 3:2). At the same time, these Volumes are not merely about doctrine. After all our God gave us sound doctrine for daily living.
Thus each volume is also connected to daily life as it is experienced by dads, moms, singles and teenagers, including people who are healthy, sick, happy and distressed - in short, real people who are living real lives in a broken world.

Growing in the Gospel is appropriate for adult Bible study groups, 'College & Careers' study groups, adult education or post-confession classes, office bearer training and for personal spiritual enrichment.
