My Review :
Fruit of My Spirit is memoir written by the author: Deanna Nowadnick.  She tells about her Christian walk, human mistakes, and God's faithfulness and love throughout her life.  She takes the reader through her life by sharing some personal experiences she has faced.  This book is like a Bible study mixed with personal experiences, and each chapter ends with a familiar hymn.  I enjoyed reading through this book, and will continue to read, reread and share it with others.  The book is pretty well-written with a few instances where it could have been edited better.  There were a few times I had to stop and reread through a paragraph to try to fully understand what the author was trying to say.  Overall a nice book to share with family or friends, and keep handy on the coffee table or nightstand.
