Growing God's Fruit

By Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

Growing God's Fruit — The Fruit of the Spirit for Kids — walks through the nine fruits of Galatians 5:22–23 in ten chapters written to be read aloud, one short chapter at a time: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness and goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Its central teaching is that the Holy Spirit grows this fruit in children who stay close to Jesus, the way branches stay close to the vine (John 15:5) — not by trying harder. Every chapter ends with a Do — one small, simple action — and a Pray — a short prayer a child can say out loud. Scripture quotations are from the ESV Bible, and the back matter includes "A Special Invitation: Give Your Life to Jesus," with The Sinner's Prayer. Written from a Christian worldview — Scripture first.
