I think this book would be excellent for a new believer or someone wanting to work on their faith walk.

Finding a path with God is often a varied and chaotic route. Each has to find their own way, ultimately. Daryl Dash has compiled a timely and easy to understand guide to help one who wants to learn and grow, incorporating God into daily life – not just a Sunday routine. His suggestions are thought provoking. His methods easily understandable.

His use of scripture to support his advice lends credence to his work. His clear prose and solidly expressed suggestions could well be invaluable to those new to the faith or looking to move closer to Him.

This book is a keeper. It will serve as an anchor point when one wanders from the path.

I love books that are written in a conversational and readable style. This book examines the gospel, and our relationship with it, but without too much deep theological language that can sometimes bog us down. Highly readable and relatable.

Good basic info, would be helpful to pass on in select cases. Some similar books out there. May purchase a copy or two to pass on

I am always looking for resources to give to people that helps them once they have chosen to walk with Christ. This is an excellent resource that tackles some critical things for new believers to embrace, while keeping everything centered on the Cross. I love that. This is a book that as a pastor, I am buying and giving out to people that I know who have just started walking with Jesus. Good stuff!!!

Title: How to Grow: Applying the Gospel to All of Your Life
Author: Darryl Dash
Genre: Christian
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

I want to call you to do ordinary things that will make an extraordinary difference, not just in your life but in the lives of others.

This quotation sums up the entire book in one simple sentence. This isn’t a complex book, full of convoluted to-do lists. Instead, the author offers simple, basic tenets of faith—praying, reading the Bible, involvement in a church—to build a foundation on, followed by “extra” things that can be added on after the basics are mastered. (Hint: the basics are never completely mastered.) The conversational tone and examples from the author’s life make this easy to read and apply. I highly recommend it.

Darryl Dash is an author, pastor, and church planter in Toronto. How to Grow is his new book.

How To Grow is a great book to that tells you all about how to get a deeper relationship with CHRIST. If you are feeling like you want to get closer, deeper in your relationship or even start one with CHRIST this is the book for you. We have forgotten, in the church, about discipleship. We are so excited about the birth of a relationship with CHRIST but do we follow up with them to help them grow in CHRIST - to be a disciple in CHRIST? Do we yearn and ache to be a disciple in CHRIST? The author states, “God made us to grow. It’s important to understand what growth is, and the pathway He’s designed for growth.” Isn't that the truth. Do you grow daily or are you stagnate? This is definitely one fantastic book to read for all believers - new or old.

Pretty good little book on how to grow holistically.
The fact that the author references James K A Smith and Dallas Willard is a great sign as well.

The author does a good job laying down a foundation of how habits are to be used in the spiritual life and has lots of practical application. Worth a read.

How To Grow by Darryl Dash

I really enjoyed this spiritually inspiring book because it is written in such a humble, conversational style. The author engaged me to want to grow spiritually and wasn't the least bit preachy or heavy handed. It was appreciated by me that the author who is a pastor writes very practical and easy steps to incorporate growing my spiritual side. My favorite quote from the book was: "We tend to believe nobody's watching, They are. Never give into the lie that you're too invisible to shape the lives of others. You are already influencing people more than you know."

I also liked that he discussed habits. He talks about how to shrink down a new habit you want to form so it is so easy you can manage incorporating it into your life by only doing it for one minute. I found this valuable because we are on auto pilot going through our habits most of the time. I find it appealing to motivate myself to give my self permission to just do a goal for one minute. I know I can succeed for one minute each day until I reach my goal.

Thank you to Net Galley, Darryl Dash and Moody Publishers for providing me with my ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

You get a bit of here and there in Christian living books. You apply a bit of this and that, but it's not very satisfying. Dash takes us through the application of the life and principles of Jesus for all areas of life.

That makes it a book worth reading. It's simple (almost simplistic sometimes), so you can read it without having to wade a thicket of theological language. It's an encouraging manual for discipleship groups

or for those trying to figure out this life of faith without friends to bounce ideas around with. Hey, if that's you, go find some friends! This life with Jesus is meant to be lived in community, right?
