Today, Roberta talks to Ava Pennington about her new book Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a Fruitful Life in Christ, available from Kregel publishers.

Bible teacher Ava Pennington reveals how to reclaim and defend the fruit of the Spirit from the Enemy
 
The fruit of the Spirit is promised to every Christian, so why do so many believers lack love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? For those dissatisfied with their level of spiritual maturity, those seeking tools and guidance to cultivate their relationship with God, and those looking to transform their lives, Flourish is the perfect resource, designed to help readers grow in their faith journeys.
With a grace-centered perspective on the fruit of the Spirit, author and Bible teacher Ava Pennington equips readers with biblical principles and practices to recognize Satan's attacks, shield their hearts, and recover what the thief has stolen. Readers will learn how to nurture growth in Christ, protect their fruitfulness, and share the harvest.
Instead of being cheated out of fully ripened godly characteristics, readers can fight spiritual battles with spiritual weapons and reclaim the fruit of the Spirit in their lives. With personal application and discussion questions at the end of each chapter, Flourish is a perfect small group resource.
