This book encourages me to daily seek the Spirit to help me obtain the fruits of the spirit. It has a soft tone and real life experiences that really encourages you. I love that the authors included excerpts from other authors about this topic, "The fruits of the Spirit".

This book really helped me to not be overwhelmed with obtaining the fruits of the Spirit or think that I'm less of a Christian., if I struggles in this area. Throughout the book information is clearly given as to why the fruits of the spirit are important and how to daily manifest them in my everyday life. It shows me how easy it is to obtain all the fruits... Just seek God and allow the Holy Spirit to work on my heart. On a different level, this book helped me to stop trying to obtain the fruits of the spirit in my own strength. It really encourages me to seek the Holy Spirit. There are scriptures all over this book, I love that !!!

This book is ideal for persons who think that the fruits of the spirit is too hard and you can't obtain them. It is also perfect for new believers, this book will really help you in your spiritual growth and drawing you closer to God. This was a peaceful and exciting read for me. I'm thinking of purchasing this book as gifts for others and using it in a book club.

I love this book so much... You will be missing out if you don't purchase a copy.

Thanks you to the authors, I really enjoyed this book and I have to read it again.

I certainly enjoyed this read but it did feel quite dated in some of its illustrations and statistics. I assumed this was an updated version of the original book but it seems it's just a new cover. Many of the stories or statistics and references to things like technology are from the mid 90s and early 2000s and would be much more effective if updated.
Overall though this was an easy read that summarized the biblical idea of fruit of the Spirit well and offered lots of practical tips. Would recommend to a new believer or anyone looking to teach on the subject.

"Would you like true fulfillment in your life? Health in your relationships? Victory over anxiety and conflict? You can have them—if you let God’s Spirit grow His fruit in your heart.'.

Ehh, I wanted so much to like this book. I was so excited to read. I am so disappointed it wasn't better. It just seemed the author spent more time quoting other books and authors than he did sharing his own opinion. The book jumped all over the place.
I am sure there is an audience for this book. I am not that audience which is unfortunate because I typically love Christian nonfiction books.
