I liked this. Vintage Joyner.

Superficially it’s a traditional Bible study contrasting the “deeds of the flesh” and the “fruit of the Spirit” as found in Galatians 5:19-23. It also discusses how even believers may be lulled into thinking that they need not be concerned about seeking a life which over comes the one and cultivates the other.

A good read for both beginning Christians and for those who have been saved for years.

Great book!
The author is very direct but effective, using a very simple style, yet what he says is powerful!
He talks about the works of the flesh and the fruits of the Spirit, but in a way that is far from obvious or shallow, often quoting and clearly explaining the Bible and using practical examples and deep reflections that go beyond the specific topic.
It truly impressed me! I highly recommend it.
Thank you, Rick Joyner!
