Fruit of Goodness

Book Cover & Preview Text
No one is perfect, that we do know,
But with GOODNESS in our hearts, we are sure to grow.
What God doesn’t want from our imperfection,
Is to mistake evil for GOOD and lose our direction.
Isaiah 5:20 What sorrow exists for those who say that evil is good and good is evil...
GOODNESS is to share, and it makes you shine so bright.
It comes from knowing God and making Him your light.

About the Author
Yira Jones is the creator and author of the Fruity Friends books series. She is a dedicated wife to her husband, Marlon, and mom to her three angels on earth, Jase, Anaya, and Zailey. Yira was inspired to create this collection after a year long bible study she attended focused on the Fruit of the Spirit. God impressed it upon her heart to write children's books and thus, Fruity Friends was born!
With an extensive background in corporate sales and many years as a stay at home mom, Yira never imagined that she would be traveling down this road, as a writer. She is loving the adventure, while amazed and humbled at God's plan, purpose, and creativity working through her. Her biggest aspiration is not only to share God's word and love through these books, but to bless and bring hope in a mighty way to children all around the world through it. Her motto is: To Him be the glory!
