Flooding the Soul helps followers of Jesus to live the Christ-life. Embracing the common message in the New Testament epistles that calls for spiritual maturity in those redeemed by Jesus Christ, pastor and author Phil A. Newton unpacks key practices for living the Christian life to the fullest. By investigating biblical teaching on spiritual maturity, assurance of salvation, union with Christ, confession of sin, mortification, and the Spirit’s fullness, Newton shepherds readers in developing daily rhythms for the Christ-life.
The book works well for personal and small group discipling, with biblical content, pastoral application, and questions for discussion. Theologian Sinclair Ferguson writes that this book “not only spells out what we need to know but explains the ways in which the Lord transitions us from what we were by nature to what he means to make us by grace.” Flooding the Soul encourages readers to live in the joy and fullness of union with Christ.
