Oak Lawn, IL — Dr. Maritza Rivera, Worship Director at Christian Assembly Rios de Agua Viva Church, has released her new book, Grow Up Already, a profound exploration of spiritual growth and maturity through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This inspiring work invites readers to think differently, act differently, and respond more deeply to their relationship with God.
In Grow Up Already, Dr. Rivera offers practical insights on what it means to be transformed in mind, soul, and spirit, guided by the Holy Spirit. Drawing on the Apostle Paul’s metaphor of a veil being lifted, Rivera illustrates the journey of becoming more like God as believers mature. The same Spirit that moved through Paul, Peter, and the early church continues to be alive and active today, she explains, working within each of us to encourage growth, if only we let Him.
Dr. Rivera’s book is filled with relatable guidance and encouragement for anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual journey. Readers will discover that the Holy Spirit is not distant or passive, but present and available to empower them to become who God intended them to be. With passion and clarity, Grow Up Already delivers a message of hope: spiritual growth isn’t just possible, it’s an adventure open to everyone.
