Beautifully boxed for gift giving! This “Fruit of the Spirit” devotional and journaling set is top quality and easy to use. Each journal starts out with a lovely “Introduction” and “Reflection” of each one of the Fruit of the Spirit. This is followed by a “Daily Scripture Reflection” with a passage from the Bible already printed out and then some daily questions, insights, and opportunities for journaling and prayers.I love that each journaling notebook is small and can be placed in a purse or backpack without taking up almost any space. The covers are thicker so they will hold up to such packing as well.At the end of each journal, they make suggestions for further reading to expand your Christian walk.Lovely set and worth the price. Wouldn’t hesitate to give this set as a gift! Great product from Crossway!

This is such a beautiful set of devotional journals that thoughtfully guides you through each of the fruits of the Spirit. I love all the questions, passages, and cross-references throughout that are so helpful in meditating on each unique trait. The books themselves are beautiful and nice quality. Highly recommended.

This set comes with a magnetic closing storage box full of paperback devotionals for the Fruits of the Spirits. It is exactly as shown in the description pics. Each separate journal is done with a single fruit (self control, joy, etc. ).. they have devotionals and questions inside.. there are areas to write and take notes. They are pretty durable and the pages aren't easily ripped, especially since I keep them in the storage box.I love that it includes the matching verses to each section, so I can get my Bible out and read along with it. Each journal is a paperback, but they are really cute. Not flashy bright colors, more neutral calming colors that fit for reading.I have really enjoyed these journals, they have helped me in certain areas that I didn't realize I needed to work on. It helps you really examine yourself with the Word, as well as learn what God says in the process.This would make a great gift for a friend around the holidays, for any teen girl or woman that loves Jesus.It is a little pricey, but totally worth it. I highly recommend this box set.

These devotionals feel nice in my hands and I love how they like journals too.

This is a wonderful resource for anyone struggling to get into the word. I started one of the books and it is so simple yet helpful. The book has you sit in a passage that relates to the specific fruit of the spirit. It asks you to contemplate and consider the parts that stood out to you and to really think about the passage. I have really felt near to God through this study. I would highly recommend these for anyone or even a women's small group study.

I really like this gift set. It is very nicely packaged and each fruit of the spirit has its own distinctive journal cover. The journals have plenty of space to take notes and put in your prayers. The applicational bible passages are spot on and my daughter really likes them as the are thought provoking and challenging to her where she can put these into practicing walking in the fruit of the spirit and displaying Christlike character to the people that she interacts with. A great gift for those you care about.

This set of nine devotional journals is a nice guide for reflecting on Bible passages. I love journaling and these provide the perfect space to explore my faith and record my thoughts and reflections. This would make a very nice gift for the holidays as we reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
