How Christians Grow

“I teach this topic to seminarians, and the opening chapter beautifully clarifies, focuses, and extends our understanding of spiritual formation. The centering on the progressive work of God is so important and a delight to read. I intend including it in our course.”


—Archie Poulos, Moore Theological College





“Andrew Prince’s capacity for spiritual expression is superbly evidenced in How Christians Grow. This is a soul-refreshing read. Drawing on Scripture, anecdotes, and his own enduring walk with Jesus, Prince stirs our hearts about weighty matters with eternal implications. You will be surprised by the punch this little book packs. Its precepts will stay with you for a long, long time.”


—Simon Longden, CEO, Pioneers of Australia





“As a fellow traveler on the road to Christian maturity, Andrew Prince gives us both a solid theological framework as well as concrete practical steps in the lifelong process of growing into Christ likeness. As your read, you will feel as if a friend walks with you and talks you through your growth in Christ. This is a book that will provide hope and guidance in this journey.”

“Don’t be fooled by this book’s simple title and brevity. It offers deep reflection, drawing on years of experience, reading, and teaching. Christians often fail to thrive, whether as newborns or mature believers. Here is a guide for those whose development has been arrested or slowed, but who want ‘to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness’ (Eph 4:24).”


—Richard J. Gibson, Brisbane School of Theology
