Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Biblical principles of maturity from the Book of Philippians. For those hungry to experience God's pleasure, the path is the way of biblical obedience. David McKechnie outlines principles that lead the seeker after God into a deeper walk along this pathway, which is found through a close look at the book of Philippians. And he makes practical application of those principles in the areas of confrontation, Christian marriage, stewardship, motivation, and physical fitness. The result is more than a deeper walk with God, more than a growing maturity for the individual. It is the experience of God's pleasure: "For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Phil. 2:13) As McKechnie evaluates the meaning of maturity, he asks--and answers--relevant questions: **How can we face the future without fear? **How can we avoid being controlled by failures or fantasies? **What is the most powerful, and most unusual, gift of God? **How can anyone even hope to win the "rat race"? **Why is self-acceptance so important?
