I have one of the first editions of this book since the mid 80's and taught classes from it!
This is an amazing book on the study of the Fruit of the Spirit and living a godly life! It really made an impact on my life! It is now even more amazing for groups with the addition of the Study Guide and the AudioBook. I highly recommend this book and the study material!

A wonderful book that has helped me to understand the real depth of the fruits of the Spirit. The first few chapters were quite juvenile (that I almost stopped reading the rest of the book), but as the book went on, it started to get really interesting and challenging as a mature Christian. I love it! Bridges is one of my favorite authors for many reasons!

VERY GOOD! A great follow up to The Pursuit of Holiness, some really challenging and 'do-able' advice.

Very practical and easy to follow. This book is a must read for Christians who are serious about growing in godly character. A committed devotion to God is essential for a quality, Spirit filled, walk with the Lord. Jerry Bridges has done a tremendous job in showing his readers how to apply "The Practice of Godliness" in their daily lives.
