The Christian life begins with a step of faith. But that first step of faith is just the beginning; it leads to a walk of obedience and trust and holiness. This study guide – through sessions in the Gospels and the Epistles – explores what it means to follow Jesus. It’s an exciting, challenging adventure!

In this study Douglas Connelly looks at various metaphors for how we grow more spiritually mature in Christ, including running a race, carrying a cross, constructing a building, fighting a battle and more.
