We live in a time when leadership and showmanship are seen as far greater virtues than humility and meekness. Even the church has often got it backward. And in Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, he confronts similar problems in the first-century church. D. A. Carson believes we can learn valuable lessons from Paul's letter about what it really means to be a mature Christian in the face of adversity. In A Model of Christian Maturity he takes the reader step by step through an exposition of 2 Corinthians 10-13 and then helps them apply these Scriptures to everyday life in the church. Perfect for pastors, students, and laypeople, this book highlights the power of weakness in the life of the Christian.

Many a preacher and teacher of God's Word has noted that the race to Christian maturity is not a sprint, but a marathon. The book you hold in your hand sees Christian maturity through another analogy altogether. Rather than viewing Christian maturity as a race, the emphasis here is that the path to Christian maturity is a journey. It is a journey that begins the moment one turns to Jesus in faith and continues until the believer leaves this earth. While most of us can drive to the local Walmart without a map, long journeys require one. It may be a GPS on your phone or an old-fashioned map, but a map is required for you to go somewhere you have never been before. This book serves as a map to guide the believer toward growth in Christian maturity. If you are a new believer, this book is for you! You can pick it up today, read the introduction, and start on the journey to maturity. You can walk through this book on your own or participate in a group study. Read a chapter each week, then either on your own or in a small group you can learn from the review questions and make an application to your own journey. If you have been a believer for many years, this book is for you! Part of growing to maturity is to help others get on the right road and to help others on the road to move forward toward maturity themselves. This book is designed to help you guide other believers. The book is designed in such a way that you can use it in one-on-one mentoring relationships or in leading a small group of believers toward maturity. If you are a pastor, this book is for you! You hold a tool in your hand that you can use to help new believers grow. You can use this same tool to help long-time believers in your church begin to mentor younger believers in one-on-one relationships or through your small group ministries.

Is there a way to make sense of all the sermons and teachings we hear as believers? Where do all these spiritual lessons lead? Did you ever wish you could have a bird's eye view of your spiritual journey, to see where you have come from and what you are heading into? The Inner Journey reminds us when Jesus walked the earth He used many parables and illustrated sermons to communicate spiritual truth. In these parables He used fig trees, tares, leaven, seeds, a pearl, wineskins, a wedding feast, talents, a coin, as well as sheep and goats to get His point across. Yet in Scripture itself, there is a marvelous road map to spiritual maturity not commonly understood by many believers. Something akin to what Nicolas Cage discovered in the movie “National Treasure”. When his character used special glasses, you could see a hidden treasure map appear on the Declaration of Independence. The Holy Bible is our Declaration of Independence from sin and Satan. Hopefully this book, with the Holy Spirit's help, will be your special glasses so you can find the treasure that's been hidden, not from us, but for us. The Lord has truly given us a map or a template by which we can understand His nature and His will for us in the Holy Scriptures. God put in His Bible a wonderful diagram or treasure map to help us see the three stages or levels of Christian maturity. I believe the Tabernacle helps illustrate the progressive nature of our relationship with Him. Learning about the Tabernacle will open our eyes to a holy God who is drawing us to Himself. You will finally understand where you have come from and what you are headed into. Your future has God Himself waiting for you. Press on towards your upward call.
