Doing What Comes Spiritually

By John M. Drescher

Book Overview

How do we know if we have the Holy Spirit in our lives? Are spiritual gifts a sure sign of the Spirit? No. Gifts can be counterfeited. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control--this is the fruit whose growth in our lives indicates the Spirit's presence. Doing What Comes Spiritually is a revised and updated edition of John Drescher's popular study of the Holy Spirit. Ten printings of the first edition were issued from 1974 through 1991 under the title Spirit Fruit and received wide affirmation.

Customer Reviews

Great book.

There are 9 "fruits of the spirit". The first time I read this book, I kept re-reading each chapter. It took me 3 months to finish it. There are multiple sermons in each chapter. The book is very easy to read. Things are simple. However, the richness of this book causes you to want to savor every thought given. A good Christian book causes us to want to read the Bible. This book has that effect. Buy it & read it...slowly, eating every word.

Excellent

The edition of this book I purchased was published by Herald Press (1993 updated from Spirit Fruit 1974). It was a bit cheeper than this particular publisher's list price. However, the book is worth it! The book is broken down into sections (chapters) with subsections of a few pages. At the end of each subsection there are several reflection questions. The subject matter is clearly, simply, cogently put. Each type of fruit is reviewed in each chapter. It makes a great bible study or a great personal devotion. Where several pages can be read every day and the bible verses reviewed for deeper thought and reflection.
