Book Cover & Preview Text
“All seeds that I plant bring some kind of harvest. If I plant apple seeds, I will harvest delicious apples. If I plant flower seeds, I will get a harvest of beautiful flowers. If I plant weed seeds, I will get a weed harvest. All our words, thoughts, and actions are the seeds we plant. If we plant seeds of love, we will harvest love. If we plant seeds of anger, we will grow anger. If we plant seeds of kindness, we will receive kindness in return. Whatever we plant and water will grow.”
Growing God’s Fruit guides children in making God-centered choices and shaping their character. Focusing on mental and spiritual health of our youth, Growing God’s Fruit gives children a concrete way to practice their thoughts and grow perseverance as they practice the Fruits of the Spirit in their everyday lives. Comparing these healthy habits of mind with the growth of an apple tree provides children with a concrete model on which to base their practice.

About the Book
Growing God’s Fruit teaches children about the growing cycle of apples from seed to harvest and relates the apple growing cycle to the growing cycles of the Fruit of the Spirit. Children will understand that their words, thoughts, and actions are the seeds they plant and if they plant seeds of love, they will harvest love. If they plant seeds of anger, they will grow anger. If they plant seeds of kindness, they will receive kindness in return. Children will be inspired to think about what they are planting and what they are harvesting in return. Bonus activities to reinforce these messages are included.
