The Gifts & Fruit Of The Holy Spirit by Bruce H. Becker

A 21-chapter Christian Bible study exploring the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit, paired with companion sermons for each major theme. The book opens with a foundational overview of spiritual gifts - their divine origin, purpose, and the unity-in-diversity model Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 12 - before moving chapter by chapter through individual gifts (Love, Tongues, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, Fear of God, and additional gifts of service). The second half shifts to the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5, devoting a full chapter to each: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. Every chapter is grounded in extensive Scripture citation and is followed by a ready-to-preach sermon on the same theme, making the work suitable both for personal devotional study and for pastors or small-group leaders preparing teaching material. The overall arc moves the reader from understanding what God gives (gifts, for service to the Church) to what God produces in the believer's character (fruit, as evidence of a Spirit-filled life).
