Publisher's summary

Every Christian wants to grow into the person God made him to be. Every Christian has a healthier, more spiritually mature version of herself in mind. Every Christian looks upon the future's horizon and imagines a relationship with God ever-increasing in vibrancy and strength.

But how does a Christian get there? How does a sapling with good intentions actually become an oak of righteousness?

You might think the answer is "regularly read the Bible, pray often, and share the gospel consistently." And those practices are certainly part of it. But in this book, Mason King expands your thinking beyond basic spiritual practices (which typically emphasize what you must do) into a more holistic picture of what a full and flourishing life with God can look like when it is cultivated well (focusing instead on who you might become).

In this book, learn how you can become a vibrant, healthy Christian by regularly offering to God three main dimensions of your life—your attention, your emotions, and your limits—for when you are disciplined in cultivating these environments at the root, you will grow into the right kind of tree.

Practical and concise wisdom!

It was so refreshing to be lead to consider how our everyday decisions about how we choose to spend our thoughts and time cause us become more Christlike. The author goes beyond the typical Church, Bible, Prayer, and explores the impact of many critical but often overlooked decisions which impact our hearts and others. Far from a prescriptive regimen, we are challenged to consider what God would have us do in each of these areas.

Classic Christian Self-Help

Normally, when I find another self-help book, I put it down before ch3 because they are all discussion books and not Christian books (about and for the person and not about God or exposition of the Scriptures to promote Christian growth). Had to finish this one.
It is a classic self-help focusing on all of the ‘how can you be better?’ type questions. Surprisingly, had 2 decent theological points in 2 different chapters. However, they are mentioned in passing and aren’t part of a focused discussion on the general failings to encourage people, pastors, or churches to improve their sanctification process or ecclesiology.

If 1 million people read this, it might help some weak brethren for a time, but won’t push them to become strong.
