How People [I] Grow

I figured I would at least blog something since I have some free time on my hands in between reading. The book I am reading, How People Grow by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend is a really good read. What the book talks about in how people grow in every aspect of their life is all spiritual growth as well. It has really hit home for me and many areas and I am taking my time in reading it so I can soak in as much as I can, even though I will probably re-read this book many more times. 

What this book talks about seems almost simple and very basic. However, I think we forget these basic things and get caught up in the more "advanced" ways of growth and living. In reality, if we forget the basic things then doing the advanced things just will not work. It is like playing guitar. You cannot learn how to play a solo or a riff if you can barely strum a chord. Everything you play is built off of a very basic skill you must learn and never forget in order to play correctly.

I am only a little ways into this book and there is a lot more to read. So it looks like the advanced things are covered as well as the basic... I hope.
