MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Measuring Spiritual Maturity: A Process to Move People from Spiritual Babies to Spiritual Adults": a riveting handbook designed to allow readers to examine one of many approaches to disciple-making. "Measuring Spiritual Maturity: A Process to Move People from Spiritual Babies to Spiritual Adults" is the creation of published author Randy Tompkins, a writer who has been in Christian ministry since 1975 and has been a member of the church ministerial staff at ten churches in Oklahoma and Texas. He also served on the staff of two denominational agencies and served as an interim minister for six churches in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Tompkins writes, "Jesus commissioned His apostles—and, by extension, the church—to make disciples. Many church leaders have concluded that attending worship services and Bible study classes will result in making disciples. A review of statistical reports indicates a majority of church members and attenders do not believe this process will work, or they have come to the conclusion they do not want to become disciples.
"The 2010 US Religion Census report indicated 79% of the 150,686,156 members, children, and other attendees did not attend worship services. It also reported over 60% of the same group did not attend Bible study classes. In 2014 one of the major denominations in the United States reported 63% of church members did not attend worship services and 62% did not attend Bible study classes.
"There are thousands of spiritual surveys available to church leaders. A majority of these surveys develop conclusions based on a single survey being administered or two surveys being administered several months apart. If a disciple-making process is to be effective, there needs to be a method of measuring the progress of individuals moving toward spiritual maturity. This type of measurement would produce a visual of spiritual growth, spiritual decline, or spiritual non-growth. The only way to measure the spiritual progress of an individual is to create a measurement of the various elements of the spiritual life.
"The process of measuring spiritual maturity in this book is self-contained within the participating church, and the responses of the participating individuals are highly confidential and warehoused by the participating church."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Tompkins's new book shares an unforgettable reading experience as this book allows them to know the process of measuring spiritual maturity so they could also learn how to assess themselves as a Christian.
With this book, the author hopes that this book will be beneficial both to individuals and entire church congregations.
