The decision to be baptized into Christ represents the beginning of our walk with Jesus. As a part of the family of God, we are then responsible for setting a path for spiritual growth and maturity. Steven Cordle charts a course for all who would discover a closer walk with Jesus. God has graciously provided examples of those who have grown and matured in their faith. There are habits and characteristics that must be learned and incorporated into our daily lives. There are also those behaviors that hinder our growth which must be weeded from our lives if we are to develop into the likeness of Christ. Spiritual growth requires an intentional effort on our part. No one can "coast" to heaven. We must choose to have a closer walk with Jesus. STEVE CORDLE was born in Montgomery, Alabama and raised in Alaska. He became a Christian in 1985 after studying the Bible with a college roommate. He received his BA in Criminal Justice from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks in 1987 and graduated from the Bear Valley Bible Institute in Denver, Colorado in 1994. Steve has served churches in four states and Canada.

Doreth was born and raised in a Christian environment. Her parents were ardent Christians who taught their household about the mercies of God and his profound love and caring for mankind. Her parents emphasized the importance of studying and memorizing the Holy Scripture. Also writing God’s word on the table of their heart with the hope that when older that these words would not depart from them. From her early years, she was overwhelmed with the relationship that the man of God, Enoch, established with God while walking with him as Enoch developed a friendship and bond with God. It was difficult to understand God’s patience and profound interest in mankind. Although they exhibited such rebellious behaviour, ingratitude and preferred to worship idols, God contrived means to save and restore man back to him. The chosen whom He called to carry out his plans on earth, some of these men are in this book. As she researched the Holy Scriptures, Doreth was greatly blessed and her spiritual vision was enlightened.
