AkinPresident Southeastern Baptist Theological SeminaryAfter we’ve come to faith in Christ, God leaves us in this world for a very clear purpose: His own glory. But how are we to glorify God for the rest of our lives? The Bible reveals that God has laid before every Christian two infinite journeys which we are to travel every day: the internal journey of growth into Christlike maturity, and the external journey of worldwide evangelism and missions. An Infinite Journey is a road map for the internal journey, laying out how we are to grow in four major areas: knowledge, faith, character, and action.In An Infinite Journey, we’ll learn how God grows us in knowledge, faith, character, and action. We’ll also discover that spiritual knowledge constantly feeds our growing faith, faith will transform our character, our transformed character will result in an array of actions more and more glorifying to God, and our actions will feed our spiritual knowledge. This upward spiral will lead us to become more and more like Jesus Christ in holiness. And not only will this book help us understand Christian growth in detail, it will also give us a passion to grow every day for His glory.“Rarely have I read a book on sanctification that is simultaneously serious and fresh, at once reflective and accessible.
