I just finished an incredible book called 12 Keys to Developing Spiritual Maturity. It was INCREDIBLE!!! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Near the end of the book, it gives a Spiritual Maturity Quiz. It really helped me to see where I am at and where I need to improve. It was a very self-reflective activity and so I thought I would share it with all of you. So here it goes...
1. Have you ever read the entire Book of Mormon?
2. Have you received a personal witness by the Spirit of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
3. Do you have daily personal prayer?
4. Do you study the scriptures daily?
5. Do you live worthy of having a temple recommend?
6. Do you attend the temple regularly?
7. Do you obey the commandments to the best of your ability?
8. Have you ever fasted for a full twenty-four hours without food or liquid?
9. Do you magnify your Church callings, including that of home teacher or visiting teacher?
10. Do you have regular family home evenings?
11. Are you more interested in receiving the Lord's approval than you are in earning the praise, wealth, and glory of the world?
12. Do you avoid contention, harsh feelings, and anger?
13. Do you resist being critical of others, especially family members and those in authority?
14. Do you keep your mind and actions clean and pure?
15. Is your language appropriate for a person who has made a covenant with God?
16. Do you faithfully keep the Word of Wisdom?
17. Have you truly repented of your sins?
18. Do you serve others?
19. Do you love your family? Are you faithful to your spouse, both physically and emotionally?
20. Do you receive promptings from the Spirit? And do you follow those promptings?

Melissa,
I was searching the web to see if there have been any reviews of my book since it was released last August. I did not find any, but I found your blog and it made my day. Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
