Introduction

I have been led by the Holy Spirit to write a book that teaches each of the nine fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23. This book is not only to help you understand the nine fruits of the Spirit, but how to apply them to your life.

This book also has some journaling sections within it. Please feel free to write in them or use your own journal.

God Bless!
