This book discusses the fruits of the spirit and its nature with the help of 27 women’s bibliographies. Each fruit is seen as a separate chapter, with three godly women as examples to understand the various attributes of the fruit in our daily life. The collection of women includes women from the bible such as Sarah, Rachel etc., as well as modern women who made a difference in this world such as Elizabeth Fry, Fanny Crosby, etc.,
The author splendidly shares her unique perspective on these women and how they defiled their odds to be their true self. The author uses versatile characters from the bible that are less widely known such as Jochebed, Lydia, Anna, Abigail to understand the importance of the fruit of the spirit. The author explains gorgeously that acquiring this nature, is to be achieved not in the absence of its counterpart but in the presence.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review on my honest thoughts regarding this book.
The author has done an excellent job of discussing the Biblical fruits of the spirit in depth. It gives a short biography about women in the Bible who embodied each fruit of the spirit. It also gives a short biography on important women who lived in recent centuries that embodied these fruits of the spirit. The women each used their fruits to do great things for God and for humanity. The book was well presented, well researched and well written.
I'm79 years young. I've heard many comments on how women are not equipped for certain positions or inability to conquer main stream lifestyles. This short book has amazing true Biblical stories of women's lives and ladies of the Path century Lives.
