What does it mean to ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’? In this valuable book, Paul Wells takes the reader through the five conditions favourable for growth in Christ: planting in the right place for spiritual life to begin; rooting in the biblical teaching of the word of God; growing up to stability in Christ; maturity and vitality through the work of the Spirit; and fruitfulness as the outcome of growth into Christ.

Reading this book is to benefit from Paul Wells’ own deep rootedness in the Scriptures. In a world calling us to question any truth outside ourselves, we need this urgent and encouraging reminder of our true calling to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
