Are you growing or just going through the motions?
Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident—it requires intentionality, perseverance, and a deep relationship with God. BECOMING A Practical Guide for Disciples of Jesus by Matik Nicholls is a transformative resource for believers seeking real growth and a deeper walk with Christ.
Drawing from decades of personal struggle, failure, and redemption, Nicholls offers a real-world guide to spiritual maturity. Once a church leader trapped in secret sin, he walked away from his faith—until a life-changing encounter with God’s radical love led him home.
Now a discipleship coach, Bible plan creator, and spiritual formation teacher, Nicholls walks readers through the stages of growth, addressing identity, intimacy with God, wholeness, dependence, resilience and purpose
Rooted in scripture and personal experience, BECOMING mature challenges you to move beyond superficial faith into a life of deep trust, radical love, and unwavering discipleship to Jesus.
No matter which stream of the faith you are from, whether you're a new believer, battling stagnation, or seeking more of God, this book provides practical tools to help you grow.
Written with hard-won wisdom from life’s trenches, this is for those ready to break free and mature in Christ.
I was born in the twin Caribbean islands of Trinidad & Tobago. I grew up climbing trees and frolicking in the waves. Surrounded by the vibrant creativity of the music and pageantry of my island people, music and celebration are in my soul. I strive to live my life in expanding ripples with Jesus at the centre. My desire is to be fully alive in Christ and that all that I am emanates from pure divine Love and that all that I create glorifies His name. I'm married to my partner in life; Tricia and together we have a beautiful blended family of five children and one granddaughter. I have an amazingly supportive family and wonderfully genuine friends. I am also part businessman, part churchman, part author, part surfer. My passion is to inspire, equip and empower people to walk in their purpose and fulfill their potential. I'm particularly passionate about wooing people from dutiful religion toward a vibrant and life-giving heart-to-heart relationship with Christ. Everything that I write has this mission in mind.
I read this book along with my regular devotionals, so it took quite awhile to get through it; but the content is excellent and thought provoking. I highly recommend it if you are truly into in being a disciple of our Lord, and not just a church attendee.
