2.0 out of 5 stars Whithered Grapes, April 28, 2008

This review is from: Fruit of the Spirit (Lifeguide Bible Studies) (Paperback)

This bible study was highly disappointing. My study group was often confused how the verses selected applied to the stated title. Lessons were composed primarily of observation questions and rare application questions. This means the book fails in helping the reader understand, apply, and appreciate the fruit of the spirit.

The study guide is also written with a definite gender bias against male readers. Several group members complained that it was a difficult study to do because of the mindlessness of the questions. To add injury to insult, the study shows signs of not having been properly proofread as incorrect homonyms show up in several of the lessons.

Purchase something else.

After reading the reviews for this study I reluctantly decided to use it for our ladies group. I introduced it as bible study "light". Although the Q&A is brief we have had some very in depth discussion on each topic. You can make it worth your while if you have a mind to.

This review is from: Fruit of the Spirit: Growing in the Likeness of Christ : 9 Studies for Individuals or Groups (Lifeguide Bible Studies) (Paperback)

Glad to find this one here however needed 6 copies for a group study and had to order from six different seller.
5 of the books came in different days within two weeks from the order. Got refund for the one that did not arrive.
Did not like the feeling that I had to check the mail box everyday. I did reorder the one last one from a different seller. It arrived within a few days. The book were new and in good condition. Overall happy with the book and frustrated with the waiting.Fruit of the Spirit: Growing in the Likeness of Christ : 9 Studies for Individuals or Groups (Lifeguide Bible Studies)
