What does it really mean to grow love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control?
In Living in the Spirit, children and families discover that the Fruit of the Spirit are not just good behaviors-they are the beautiful character qualities God grows in us through His Holy Spirit.
Through gentle explanations, real-life examples, thoughtful reflection questions, and simple prayers, this devotional-style picture book helps children understand:
- What each Fruit of the Spirit means
- What it looks like in everyday life
- Why these qualities matter
- How God grows Christ-like character in our hearts
With soft watercolor illustrations centered around a symbolic olive tree, this book gently reminds children that spiritual growth takes time-and that God is the One who helps us grow.
The final pages include a Grow Deeper Scripture guide, encouraging families to open their Bibles together and explore verses about each fruit.
Perfect for:
- Family devotion time
- Homeschool Bible lessons
- Sunday school classrooms
- Christian schools
- Bedtime faith conversations
Help your child understand not just what the Fruit of the Spirit are-but why they matter, and how God uses them to shape a life that reflects Jesus.
