The Fruitful Life by Jerry Bridges
I have read several sections of books on the fruits of the spirit but none have been like what I read in The Fruitful Life by Jerry Bridges.
First all all this book is more of a guide on how to apply Galatians 5: 22-23 to your life rather than just simply telling you about the fruits of the spirit. Each chapter contains information that will enable you to apply these teachings in a real way to your own life in order to become more of what God has intended for each of us. Each section also has a set of questions at the end in order to help you to focus and reflect on what you have just read and to bring things more in perspective for you. This also makes it ideal for either an individual study or to use with a group. We have all been exposed to what the fruits of the spirit are and have had discussions on what each one means, but if you are like me, none have gone that extra step to guide you into applying the fruits to your own life as does the book The Fruitful Life. If you are truly looking for ways to enrich your personal relationship with God then this book is one that will help lead you on that path.

I’m visiting from the Crew. This looks like a very interesting book. I’ll have to get this one as it should be an awesome character study for our school. Thanks for sharing.
Stopping by on the tos crew blog walk. I love anything Jerry Bridges!
