Growing Your Faith: How to Mature in Christ (NavPress, 2004) gathers into one book principles of Christian growth that, according to Publishers Weekly, the NavPress team felt were scattered across eight of Bridges's earlier books; Bridges called it "Christian Growth 101". The publisher's description names four practical areas: feeding the spiritual life through taking in Scripture, relying on the Holy Spirit in obedience and prayer, trusting God in the trials of life, and contributing one's spiritual gifts to serve others. J. I. Packer endorsed it. It is an introduction to the themes of his longer works rather than a new departure.
