I liked the contemporary examples Warren used to illustrate his points in the book. I haven't read a spiritual book since (okay, probably never) and I think this book gives a good overview of the steps you need to take if you want to change your life (be more joyful, peaceful, worry less and so forth) with God's Power.

If you are expecting the something as revolutionary as a Purpose Driven Life you will be disappointed, but if you are just looking for a good inspiring Christian book you will be pleased. The book is based on the fruits of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, gentleness... He gives a chapter for each of the fruits in which he gives steps to help incorporate each of the fruits in our life, while also clearly explaining that the fruit is a work of the Holy Spirit

This book is about the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control). It's short and easy to read. Guess which fruits I need to work on most? Well, I'll help you out. I was really convicted by the need to work on gentleness and self-control, and in second place, I want to work more on patience and kindness. I love the practical advice on these topics.

This would be a good book to start the new year with. I read it as part of a women's Bible study. I really enjoyed it. It is a very powerful read. Very eye opening...I learned a lot about myself. I would recommend it to any Christian reader.

I HIGHLY recommend reading this book!!! I've read and reread it MANY times!!! I'm working on a reread right now!!! Based on the Bible's Fruits of the Spirit in Galations chapter 5. Words to live by--regardless of what you believe!!! :)

An absolutely wonderful book. I wish I could read it daily to keep his points very fresh in my mind. Potentially very life changing.

This was a simple but powerful read. Just makes you stop and think about why we are stuck sometimes wanting to change and yet we don't. What can you do to get through it? It also boils down many of the issues we resolve to work on every year and talks through those as well...patience, self-control, etc

I love the way Mr. Warren thinks. That said, I got much more out of his last book.
