12 Keys to Developing Spiritual Maturity

Richard G. Moore draws on decades of teaching in the Church Educational System to present twelve practical keys for developing spiritual maturity. Weaving scripture, apostolic counsel, and disarmingly honest personal stories, he reframes spiritual growth as a lifelong process rather than a single event. Chapters cover obedience, service, accepting God's will, learning doctrine, right motives, relying on the Lord, gratitude, balance, seeking the Spirit, handling adversity, hope, and enduring to the end—all pointing readers toward Christ and away from discouragement.

• Reframes 'born again' as becoming a spiritual infant who must still grow up—relieving guilt for members who never felt a dramatic conversion
• Tackles the discouragement so many faithful members feel about ever being 'good enough' for the celestial kingdom
• Deeply moving personal chapter on the author's mother's death and learning to accept God's will
• Includes a 20-question spiritual self-evaluation quiz readers can use immediately

“Why do I continue to struggle and fail in my attempts to keep all of God's commandments? Because I am a spiritual toddler, and toddlers fall down.”

Perfect for an active Latter-day Saint adult or returned missionary who feels they're falling short in their spiritual progress and wants encouragement and practical direction toward Christ-centered growth.
