Book Cover & Preview Text
Becoming the person that God wants us to be consists of three basic things: Prayer, Bible Reading & Study, and Church Attendance/Fellowship. Our families, churches, and communities need people that go beyond the superficial “Sunday only” faith, into a deep abiding relationship with Christ that will impact us and those around us. We need to become a people that desire more than a feel good time on Sunday, a people who just show up so they can check it off the list of things to do. There is so much more we could be experiencing. Until we become a people after God’s own heart, we will never become all that God wants us to become. What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind: one of brokenness or one of victorious faith? How long will you just go through the motions? What excuse will Christ accept on the day you stand before Him?

About the Book
The Process of Progress will aid you or your small group in understanding the process by which we either grow toward Christ-likeness or fade away. In addition to outlining this process, it will aid you in understanding our responsibilities in this process. What a great lifelong adventure lies before you as you endeavor to become more like Him. I pray that the Lord will grant you the desire to press toward the goal of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let the adventure begin!
About the Author
I currently serve as the director of education for Harvest Bible Institute. For many years, I have taught and led many Bible study groups. Over the years of ministering in adult education, I have been asked "what is sanctification" and "how does it work". The Lord used these questions to prompt me to put this answer on paper. We often hear that God never puts more on us than we can handle, yet we only apply that truth to hardship when it applies to our spiritual growth as well. We see that God has a process by which He governs nature. He also has a process by which He governs our growth toward Christ-likeness. Most of my life has been lived in northeastern Indiana. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, four children, and two grandchildren.
