Did I get your attention? That is how I felt when I first saw a book with the title Naked Fruit! Naturally I wanted to know what it was about, and it was at the Christian book store after all so how "bad" could it be? Well I read the back, and saw that the author was Elisa Morgan the founder of MOPS so I decided to give it a go! A little background info on myself for those of you who do not know me very well is that I am a first born people pleaser. I want no conflict, everyone to get along, and most definitely everyone to be happy especially with me! So when I saw a book about having the fruits of the spirit (Love, Joy,Peace, Patience,Kindness,Goodness,Gentleness,and Self Control) but not about being nice I thought Hmmm! It was simply saying we should get past "nice Christainity, and use our own personalities bear the fruit of the spirit in a way we never have before! For those of you who do know me "nice" Christianity is something I truly can't stand, both it's characteristics and the people who posess them! (I'm sure saying this means there is some fruit I need more of, but I did learn I don't always have to be nice!)
It only took me two days to read this book, and I am now going through it for a second time a little slower! I highly reccomend picking this one up!
