A Gardener Looks at the Fruits of the Spirit by W Phillip Keller and published.
From his unique perspective as a naturalist, and a lover of God’s creation, Phillip Keller takes a compelling and comprehensive look at what the fruits of the Spirit really mean on a day-to-day practical basis in the life of a believer. His approach to this book it based on both the Old and the New Testaments for within Scripture there are people of God who are likened to a carefully cultivated garden, watered and tended by the Lord Himself.
Beginning with a sensitive section on the four distinctive types of soul, available to the Great Gardener of our souls, the author moves on to a penetrating analysis of each of the nine fruits of the Spirit. He probes the realities of spiritual fruit in ordinary life, studying them from the perspective of both quantity and quality of fruit “production.” And by doing so, shares with the reader, the great basic principles of Spirit-filled living.
