The Fruit of the Spirit

by James W. Knox

Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance... These are all attributes of the one true God. It is because our Lord is of such a holy character that our souls may be saved and our lives are blessed in ways too numerous to count. God the Holy Spirit dwells within each born-again child of God. He is willing and able to produce these same character traits in all believers. In this book we will learn how to yield to His control so that He might do a great work in conforming us into the image of our Savior.

About the author

James W. Knox was born February 26, 1958 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He grew up in New Smyrna Beach, Florida where he graduated high school in 1976. Over the next three years he earned degrees in English and journalism from the state university system of Florida, graduating with honors in 1978 and 1979.

He received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior on December 17, 1976 and began to preach the word of God in November of the following year.

Brother James is the founding pastor of THE BIBLE Baptist Church (1987) of DeLand, Florida, USA. The brothers and sisters in Christ at The BBC prayerfully distribute recorded sermons and Bible studies to 182 countries, with 3 million+ units having been sent out since 1988. In addition to the tape ministry, dozens of book titles in print, many of which are being translated into numerous languages, enable this ministry to be of instruction and encouragement to untold numbers around the world.

We would ask you to remember Brother James with the words of Romans 15:30:

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.

Reviews

[Abigail Jean · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has lots of wisdom in it to be digested, and I do recommend reading it. However it must also be stated that it must be read critically. It was written by man, and men are not perfect. Alongside the Bible verses and explanations, the teachings of how one might die to themselves to produce spiritual fruit, are underlying prejudices. The book preaches love, but it is written in such a way that it shows hate towards some groups of sinners. He has a particular disdain for "bums" I believe it is important that we all remember when reading this that we are not above any others in thia life, we are all vile sinners.
