About the Book

The Life Core reveals why Christian training can remain active while producing little transformation—and how churches can recover spiritual vitality. The book unites the Life Analogy and the Growth Analogy to help leaders understand the source of spiritual life, the stages of Christian development, and the training appropriate to each stage.
