Fruitful Living

What do your relationships and actions say about your spirit?

What does it mean to live a good Christian life? Being friendly? Wanting to be liked so you’re always painting on a smile no matter what’s going on behind the scenes? Or maybe you see faith as a warm, cozy blanket that shields you from the worries of the world.

But is that what being Christlike is really about?

In this practical, insightful book, accept the invitation to have Jesus permeate every area of your heart and interactions with others by exploring what each fruit of the Spirit looks like in your everyday life.

With relatable testimonies, questions for personal reflection or group study, and grounded biblical truth, cohost of the God Hears Her podcast Elisa Morgan encourages you to peel past the niceness of Christianity and let God transform you into something truly sweet!

As you attach yourself to God as the source of fruitful living, He will grow your love, joy, peace, patience—a life that can truly make a difference.
