Spiritual Fruit

The Fruitful Life by Jerry Bridges

This Fruitful Life takes you on a journey through each of the fruits of the Spirit as described in Galatians 5. This book dedicates a chapter to each and offers insight into how we can cultivate each one in our life.
I liked this book because the author addresses the important fact that while the Holy Spirit does the work in us, we have work to do also. He offers insight and wisdom into what each fruit ‘looks like’ in our lives and how and why it is important in our walk with God. There is a brief study section at the end of each chapter.
I would recommend this for small groups and for individual study.

Prophecy Answers



The Prophecy Answer Book by David Jeremiah is a small, compact easy to read book. I was intrigued by the title so I chose to read this book. The book consists of questions and answers. It is divided into sections that help the reader find the answers they are looking for.

If you are looking for an in-depth book about answers to the prophecies in the Bible, this isn't the book for you. It is simple and straight forward. While there are not answers to every question about prophecy, this book does provide basic answers to the most asked questions. I would recommend this book for a quick reference.
