The Keys to Spiritual Growth
By John MacArthur
Crossway, 2001, 196 pp.
You’ve just accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior by faith alone and have been spiritually reborn as a child of God! Now what? It’s very helpful for new believers to read a good book on the basics of spiritual growth. It’s also helpful (and needful) for “seasoned saints” to periodically “go back to Bethel” for personal reexamination and encouragement. This book on the keys/basics to spiritual growth by Pastor John MacArthur is an excellent resource. If you’re one of those “seasoned saints,” pass it along to a new believer after reading it yourself.

Oh, I get it now! 🤣 That’s great that you’re getting lots of steps. I need to do more walking because my steps have steadily declined since October. I averaged 9K/day then and this month I’m at 6K/day.

Thanks! My trips to the grocery for “snacks” have definitely declined the past couple of weeks because of the virus.
