"When I was a boy, I had a really wicked temper. It was short and it was brutal. I would get in fights every recess." With that personal beginning, Dr David Moffett-Moore escorts each student into their own personal study of The Spirit''s Fruit: A Participatory Study Guide.
We are called together as Christians to a fruit-filled life. While God blesses us with one or more gifts as He wills, none of us receive all the gifts. But all of us are encouraged to live a Christ-led life in which all the fruit of the Spirit may grow in abundance. Dr. Moffett-Moore gives us wonderful tools for discussion and prayer to break up any hard ground and pour Christ''s Living Water into our spirits so the study itself aids more fruitful growth. The Participatory Study Series from Energion Publications is designed to invite Bible students to become a part of the community of faith that produced the texts we now have as scripture by studying them empathetically and with an aim to learn and grow spiritually. Each author is free to emphasize different resources in the study, and individual students, group leaders, and teachers are encouraged to enhance their study through the use of additional resources.
