Publisher's summary

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18)

How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.

In this audiobook, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.

Drawing on wisdom from figures throughout church history, Ortlund encourages listeners to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace and living out their invincible identity in Christ.

Further up and further in!

This is one of the best books I’ve read on growing in Christ. Dane explains the basic truths of knowing Jesus in such a simple, straightforward, beautiful way; I have been challenged, encouraged and equipped in growing deeper into Jesus.

Don’t rush this book

Don’t rush this book. It is like a slow walk with Jesus, contemplating various ways He uses the simple “elementary principles” to woo us into deeper love for him. Read it slowly. Read it with Him and with others.

A Deeper Relationship with Christ

I have listened to over 50 audible books and by far this has been most impactful to me. Not only does Dane Ortlund not only tells but shows how God is waiting for our intimacy with Him. Can’t wait until the next book gets authored.

Took me deeper in several ways

I found this book made me acutely aware of some faulty thinking, like motives I didn’t realize I had. A book to listen to over and over!
