Be Mature (James): Growing Up in Christ by Warren W. Wiersbe My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Wiersbe's "Be..." series. Warren W. Wiersbe (16 May 1929 - 2 May 2019), pastor, bible teacher on "Back to the Bible Radio Ministries," and teacher of practical theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Though he was a dispensational and a Baptist, and I'm a post-millennial Presbyterian, nevertheless, he was a master communicator and Bible-explainer. These short books will add loads of clear-headed fodder to any study one does for sermons, bible studies, or devotions. I highly recommend "Be Mature" and the whole "Be..." series.

This short, sweet and simple book is perfect for hard-working preachers. The thirty three chapters range from two to five pages covering a wide ra...
