Following Jesus, Book 3: Grow

How does Jesus reshape my character, relationships, decisions and ordinary life?

Grow is the third book in the Following Jesus pathway, a four-book journey from new faith to mature, fruitful discipleship. Begin helped you take your first steps with Christ, and Establish laid the foundation of what Christians believe. Grow turns to the heart and the everyday: how God's grace slowly makes us more like Jesus at home, at work, in our relationships and in hard seasons.

This is honest, practical teaching. It does not promise quick fixes, and it never treats growth as earning God's love. Each chapter opens the Bible on a real area of life and offers simple, realistic steps. The teaching rests on Scripture itself, not on any one tradition or theory.
