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!

Practical and inspiring! Gives you actual things to apply. Do read Pursuit of Holiness as well!!!! Top 3 book outside the Bible to impact me....

This is a great study, for new Christians and also for the older Christian. It gives you explanation of the fear of God, fruit of the Spirit, and lots, lots more. Great Great Study!!!

I use this book for small groups in my church. This book is readable and challenging but not divorced from the power to change: the Holy Spirit, the gospel, and the love of God. Read all his books.

As Jerry Bridges talks about Devotion in the first few chapters of the book, he emphasizes the importance of having the proper motivation and how to arrive to that place. Each chapter thereon focuses on godly traits, namely: humility, contentment, thankfulness, joy, holiness, self-Control, faithfulness, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, goodness and love. All these godly traits is not new to any of us. Even non-Christians are familiar with all these. But the lovely thing about this book is how Bridges is able to articulate the practical guidance on how we can develop that. It is downright amazing!
