About this ebook

We want to live loving, joyful, anxiety-free lives. Yet how can we live in grace when we're so busy battling our old patterns of behavior?

Jerry Bridges, author of Trusting God and Respectable Sins, explores the nine aspects of the "fruit of the Spirit" described in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities of character can truly mark our lives if we devote ourselves to a twofold pursuit: God-centeredness and God-likeness. Jerry shows us how to practice the fruit in daily life.

When The Fruitful Life first released, Jerry said, "It was the book I had wanted to write that included everything I forgot and/or learned since The Pursuit of Holiness." Offering deep, biblical wisdom in a conversational style, this book includes:

An exploration of our responsibility vs. God's role in spiritual formation
Practical advice for cultivating the godly character traits listed in Galatians
A discussion guide for small groups or personal study

Learn how to live a vibrant and abundant life through the power of the Holy Spirit.
