Effective Christian Living

Jack Selfridge Β· 1994
91/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Jack Selfridge spent 38 years as an evangelist and Bible teacher across Africa before putting his accumulated wisdom into this 24-study workbook on the fruit of the Spirit. That experience shows: the examples he uses are practical and cross-cultural, the reflection questions are genuinely challenging without being academic, and the scriptural grounding is consistent throughout. For believers looking to move beyond head knowledge into lived discipleship, this is a focused, manageable tool β€” short enough to complete but substantive enough to matter. The caveat is that its appeal is rightly limited to practicing Christians, and some of the missionary-era cultural framing may feel dated. Within that audience, though, it's a reliable small-group or personal study resource from a well-credentialed author.
