Doing What Comes Spiritually - Paperback

by John M. Drescher (Author)

How do we know if we have the Holy Spirit in our lives? Are spiritual gifts a sure sign of the Spirit? No. Gifts can be counterfeited. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control--this is the fruit whose growth in our lives indicates the Spirit's presence. Doing What Comes Spiritually is a revised and updated edition of John Drescher's popular study of the Holy Spirit. Ten printings of the first edition were issued from 1974 through 1991 under the title Spirit Fruit and received wide affirmation. ""It is simply written, avoiding theological terms with a style and format that make it adaptable for daily devotions, group study, and sermon support."" --Church and Synagogue Library Association ""Solidly Bible-based, Christ-centered, and warmly life-related."" --Mennonite Brethren Herald John M.
