Most believers have a sincere desire to be like Jesus. However, they cannot accomplish this spiritual task in their own strength. Further, they fail to see the powerful help Jesus provided when He gave us the Holy Spirit.
Authors Dr. David Garcia and Dr. Larry Keefauver unlock the secrets contained in the fruit of the Spirit which transform defeat into spiritual dominance and impossible battles into unstoppable victories.
The workbook-style of this manuscript makes it “user-friendly” for both new disciples and seasoned veterans of the Faith. It is a joy to commend and recommend this book. It will help readers in their struggles to become more Christ-like through learning the fruit of the Spirit and living them out in everyday maturity and holiness!

“If your asked 1,000 Christians what Christian Character is, you would get 1,000 different answers based on every fleeting fad of ethical standards. I am so happy that my good friend Dr. David Garcia has so clearly identified Christlikeness as the true standard in his new book, “Being Christlike.” This book is so well written by first acknowledging we must live this life from the Spirit within us to govern our lives outside of us. He then follows with a marvelous teaching on the fruit of the Spirit with very practical application through a workbook like application to real life issues. I highly recommend this book to every true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

“When the Fruit of the Spirit is your sensor, your discernment is at its best. You instantly recognize the nature of God and a nature that is outside of the nature of God and you are matured by the Fruit of the Spirit to act accordingly towards both. This book will give you strategies to develop in the likeness of Christ!”
—Dr. Tim Hines, Evangelist
“As we ponder the political turmoil, racial unrest, and economic uncertainty of today, perhaps the path to reducing strife is this: Being Christlike.

“It is in the midst of a current Christian and cultural crisis that Rev. Dr. David Garcia’s book on the Fruit of the Spirit comes as a jolt to Christian consciousness.

“Pastor David Garcia is a master surgeon for the Body of Christ. He masterfully takes the scalpel of the Word of God and helps remove every hindrance to growth in the Fruit of the Spirit. This book will help you develop in your relationship with God as well as your relationships with others. I personally believe it is an excellent resource for use in small groups. Dive in and get ready to grow!”
