In 1980, Sinclair Ferguson published Add to Your Faith, a book to encourage growth and progress in our Christian lives. Now, after a further 40 years of teaching about and living out his faith, he has revised his original work and republished it as Maturity.
The title is an apt one, with the author’s godly wisdom and deep understanding of the Bible, developed over many years, evident throughout. As you read its pages you cannot shake the feeling that you are receiving counsel from an older saint, one who has run the race now stretched out before you, who has come through the same hurdles and obstacles you can see up ahead. Reading Maturity is much like visiting a godly grandparent: an opportunity to receive wise counsel from one who has lived out the depths of their faith and desires for you to do the same.
