Thousands of copies sold!An Infinite Journey is a labor of love from the heart of a faithful pastor who dearly loves his people. It is a marvelous treatment of the doctrine of sanctification and a call to grow in Christlikeness. It is biblically grounded, theologically rich, and practical in application. It felt like I was reading a modern Puritan. Do not be hesitant to delve into this treasure because of its size. The precious nuggets of truth that leap from its pages will make the investment a wise one indeed."Dr. Daniel L. AkinPresident Southeastern Baptist Theological SeminaryAfter weve come to faith in Christ, God leaves us in this world for a very clear purpose: His own glory. But how are we to glorify God for the rest of our lives? The Bible reveals that God has laid before every Christian two infinite journeys which we are to travel every day: the internal journey of growth into Christlike maturity, and the external journey of worldwide evangelism and missions. An Infinite Journey is a road map for the internal journey, laying out how we are to grow in four major areas: knowledge, faith, character, and action.In An Infinite Journey, well learn how God grows us in knowledge, faith, character, and action. Well also discover that spiritual knowledge constantly feeds our growing faith, faith will transform our character, our transformed character will result in an array of actions more and more glorifying to God, and our actions will feed our spiritual knowledge. This upward spiral will lead us to become more and more like Jesus Christ in holiness. And not only will this book help us understand Christian growth in detail, it will also give us a passion to grow every day for His glory.Rarely have I read a book on sanctification that is simultaneously serious and fresh, at once reflective and accessible. Andy Davis combines analytical astuteness with pastoral passion. Those who think of themselves as Christians but who have no desire to grow in holiness need this book; Christians who want to be increasingly conformed to Christ will cherish this book.Dr. D. A. CarsonResearch Professor of New TestamentTrinity Evangelical Divinity SchoolI love Andy Davis extraordinary mind. I love the breadth of his reading. Most of all, I love his terrific understanding of the Christian life and his grasp of the gospel. He is a faithful brother, and this book is a gift to the church.Dr. J.D. GreearLead Pastor of The Summit Church and author of Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart and Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity RevolutionaryBesides the Bible, it would be difficult to find any other single resource with more biblically sound, theologically rich, pastorally helpful, and practical insight about Christian growth than this book. Moreover, its not just a book about progress in Christlikeness, for I know Andy Davis and I can affirm that theres a life of growth in grace behind the book. I recommend it to anyone on the Infinite Journey.Dr. Don WhitneyAssociate Professor of Biblical SpiritualitySenior Associate Dean for the School of TheologyThe Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryNow this is a good book. A really good book. It is exactly the kind of book a reviewer loves to discover: A title from a minor publisher that arrives with little fanfare and completely blows him away. And that is what I found in An Infinite Journey: Growing Toward Christlikeness by Andrew Davis.Tim ChalliesPastor at Grace Fellowship Church and author of The Next Story: Life After the Digital Explosion
