Putting Away Childish Things

We can all agree that human development evolves through different stages. Shakespeare describes the physical aspects as the "seven ages of man," psychologists have documented emotional stages, and Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived addressed the seasons of our lives. Maturity and taking responsibility go hand in hand. Consider the American author and critic Marya Mannes' statement, "the process of maturity is an art to be learned and an effort to be sustained..." This book challenges you to engage in the "art of maturity." Putting away childish things is a part of that process. It is the pathway to Spiritual maturity, the most critical part of human growth -yet the part that is most neglected. How can we neglect the most critical area of this art?
