Model of Christian Maturity

What does a mature Christian look like?
According to Bible scholar D. A. Carson, the mature Christian looks a lot like the apostle Paul, who strove for obedience and discipline even when it was difficult. In his exposition of 2 Corinthians 10-13, Dr. Carson unpacks such well-known passages as
· Paul's description of his thorn in the flesh
· an intense chronicle of his specific sufferings
· Paul's style of spiritual leadership
· warnings about false leadership within the church
· and more
Through Paul we explore the struggles, opportunities, and intentions of a Christian under fire, journeying with him as he seeks to guide the Corinthian church--and speak to us as well. Anyone with an influential or leadership role within the body of believers will find here a trustworthy model for their own spiritual development.
