Progress: Lifelong growth for gospel workers

by Adrian Reynolds

Many of us start off in ministry after an initial boost of intensive training, whether on the job or in college. During this time we make progress in our godliness and in practical gifting but the danger is that once we begin our ministry this rapid progress can start to stagnate.

In this book, Adrian Reynolds warns us against being satisfied with gradual growth and instead calls leaders to make a deliberate effort to continue to grow and develop. He uses Paul’s words to Timothy in 1 Timothy 4 to encourage us to seek growth in the areas of speech, conduct, love, faith, purity and our gifts.

This book is best read reflectively, taking the time to answer the questions at the end of each chapter to help you to grow more and more into the likeness of Jesus.

Reviews

[Daniel Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

solid little piece of teaching

[Esther]

I am thankful for this small book full of helpful advice to assess different areas of life for spiritual, emotional and physical health. I really like that the scriptural reference is limited to a passage in 1 Timothy. This makes the teaching easier to digest. I love the clear structure and questions to examine your personal situation.
