God's Good Fruit: A Study Course on the Fruit of the Spirit

God's Good Fruit is a study course - for group or individual use - based on St Paul's metaphor of the fruit of the Spirit. The order of the nine virtues is reversed, so we are led on a spiritual journey from the 'foothills' of Self-control, Gentleness and Faith­fulness to the 'mountain peak' of Love, and as each virtue is examined we are able to see it is a reflection of the very nature of God wherever it is found. There is an introductory session to explore the general idea of 'fruit' or 'harvest'. For each of the nine remaining sessions, there is an in-depth study of one of the virtues, followed by a group activity, a focus for reflection, questions for discussion and suggestions for prayer.
