"My purpose in writing this book is to demonstrate to readers from God’s Word that maturity in the faith is not unusual, nor is it negotiable. It is expected. Indeed, it is the design of God for those who have been born again in Jesus Christ. It need not be a follow-on experience of growth in the Spirit. We can enter into relationship with God through the threshold of faith and continue growing, just as a seed naturally reproduces, just as God has designed things to be. Just as importantly, I want Christians to understand that I am not writing about some new form of discipleship. In fact, when it comes to any curriculum or program we dub “discipleship,” if the teaching of Scripture doesn’t take root and multiply in our lives, our curriculum is useless. Nearly fifty years of service to the body of Christ have taught me that these things that rise from new birth are as natural as the air we breathe and meant to multiply as inherently as the good seed that falls into fertile ground and produces much fruit. God has designed righteousness for His people. And He will grow it in us. Ours is to realize it, ponder it, and submit to the spiritual disciplines necessary to see God the Spirit grow it. "
