Harvesting Spiritual Fruit: Following God's Path to True Love, Joy and Peace [Paperback]

Jonathan Niemeyer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2002

In this short book, first time author and attorney Jonathan Niemeyer takes us beyond prayer to Christian living through a practical application of Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit of the spirit. He maintains that, especially in a new America frought with fear and anger over September 11, two simple verses of Paul's letter to the Galatians hold phenomenal promise for those of us who truly employ the fruit of the spirit -- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control -- in our relationships with God, our spouses, our children, our friends and our neighbors. Faithfully applying the fruit of the spirit to our lives is much easier said than done, but the rewards -true love, joy and peace -- can be everlasting!

Review

Niemeyer focuses . . .[Galatians 5:22-23] . . . in a personal style that feels as though he is speaking directly to you. -- Cincinnati Enquirer May 7, 2002

From the Publisher

Jonathan Niemeyer's first effort is a winner. This book is a concise and enlightening application of the fruit of the Spirit that is heavily based on scripture. American society is frought with excess, materialism, anger and hatred. It can all too often lead us down a path away from God's word and leave a void in our lives. In 'Harvesting Spiritual Fruit', Jonathan Niemeyer provides the fruit to fill that void. This book captures the spirit of true happiness. A great 'read' for anyone seeking to focus on true happiness and what truly is important in one's life! --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing book, June 2, 2002

This review is from: Harvesting Spiritual Fruit: Following God's Path to True Love, Joy and Peace (Hardcover)

I was so pleased to read a book that emphasizes practical, holy living as God intended us to live. So many Christian books written today put great emphasis upon the gifts of the Spirit, but very little upon the fruits of the Spirit. Jonathan Niemeyer has done a superb job in correlating and integrating the truths of God's Word into practical settings for family living, as well as for other relationships. The book is concise and easily read. The message is one we all need to hear and to heed. Everyone needs to read this book. The message it contains has long been overdue for the times in which we live in today.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN INSPIRATIONAL TREASURE, May 9, 2002

By 

Earl Steffes, PhD (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harvesting Spiritual Fruit: Following God's Path to True Love, Joy and Peace (Paperback)

Reading "Harvesting Spiritual Fruit" is a vibrant and uplifting experience. Inspirationally written, it blends spiritual wisdom with life experience in an easy to read style. As one reads, it inspires the reader to look at themselves as they are and how they can enrich their life and those around them. In essence, it is motivational; leading to greater fulfillment and joy in life.

It is spiritual and biblical, but in a `real world' manner; rather than pithy sermonizing. It is a book to be read, internalized, and reviewed periodically to keep a person `on track'. It is uplifting in it's content and inspires hope and a positive belief in that which it presents. It is a book from which every reader will benefit if they put the message into practice. I would give it six stars if I could!

I finished the book last night, and LOVED it! I am sure I will read again, positive that I missed something. Normally when I read, I have a hard time understanding, plus it's hard to put into everyday life, especially when it come to GOD! This is easily understood and you can apply daily. I will be informing people in my life about this book.
