Equipping Christian Leaders in the Developing World

Toward Maturity

Dr Gavin D Williams LTh. DPMin

What is spiritual maturity? What does a mature believer look like? How do we make the transition from a new believer to a spiritually mature Christian disciple? These are some of the issues to be considered in this book

My purpose in writing is to stir within my readers a ‘holy dissatisfaction’ with our current spiritual state. I hope to create a hunger for a new depth of walk with God that has the marks of a mature disciple. No matter whom we are or where we are in our spiritual journey, there is always room to grow and mature more in the Lord. I want to encourage you along the journey Toward Maturity.

But more, I aim to provide you with thinking and resources which I hope and pray will help you on the journey toward maturity.  Some of the issues raised in this book are further developed in other books which I have written. I will direct you to those works for a fuller treatment of the subject. Other issues will be examined in depth in this book.

As with anything I write, my brothers and sisters in the Developing World are always in my thoughts. Although I hope that this work will be a blessing to those whose first language is English, I have deliberately adopted a simple style and language. This will make it more accessible to those whose mother tongue is other than English and also facilitate translation into other languages. I have included many stories of real people and illustrations from my own journey. Where necessary the stories have been modified to protect the identity of other individuals.
