Essential virtues

What are the marks of a truly mature Christian? The first chapter of 2 Peter is a refreshing well of truth on this subject. Peter lists the virtues of a Christlike believer -- knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Attaining all these virtues may seem impossible; but with God's help, every Christian can become spiritually mature. Explore the meaning and importance of each core virtue and learn to cultivate these qualities while avoiding worldiness, rebellion, and spiritual apathy. Jim Berg's clear application and heart-searching questions encourage inner growth that results in spiritual commitment, courage, and compassion, the foundation of true biblical maturity. - Back cover.
