Fruit Full - 100 Family Experiences for Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit
This book would be a great guide during family devotion time. Whether you start your day with it, use it after a meal or right before bed, there are 100 devotions that expound on the fruits of the spirit. This book spends 10 days/devotions on each spiritual fruit, that is about two pages per topic. The devotion starts with a scripture passage, a relevant story, discussion starters, and ultimately ends with a prayer. 255 pgs, pb. ~Amber
It's common for kids to memorize the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, goodness, self-control, and all the rest. But that doesn't mean they understand what it means. Is peace just not fighting with your siblings? Does self-control mean resisting a second dessert? When Mom and Dad explain these concepts just in terms of morality, we miss the mark.
Christie Thomas is skilled at taking complex ideas and making them accessible to kids . . . and adults learn a lot along the way too. Each of her devotions is designed to help parents connect their children with the Holy Spirit through a Scripture passage, thought-provoking questions, ways to apply each verse, and a prayer. And for each fruit, parents can use the optional hands-on activities when there's extra time.
Perfect for kicking off the New Year as a family, these 100 devotional experiences include illustrated examples of each fruit of the Spirit. They demonstrate the hands, heart, and habits of Jesus and also teach children to spend time with the good God who loves them. By understanding how he covers them with his goodness and how his Spirit helps them grow their own beautiful, Jesus-reflecting character, the whole family will connect to the Vine and grow abundant fruit together.
