What this book will change for you
The book and its 63-day journal, together at last.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits." But how, in practice, do we recognize an aligned man or woman? Konan Kalou answers with the nine flavours of the fruit of the Spirit, and with a method to cultivate them.
Book One — By Their Fruits. Twelve chapters: the nine flavours, then the fruit in the family, the business and the community. For each one, real-life cases in Abidjan and in the village of Koyarabo, a Bible study, a simple protocol and reflection questions, to read alone or in a group.
Book Two — The Nine Flavours Journal. Nine weeks, one flavour per week, one page per day: a verse, a gesture to make, a question, and the evening indicator. With a review at the end of each week and a guide to leading a group.
For believers, families, prayer and Bible study groups, leaders and everyone who wants their faith to be seen in their actions.
