God promises to grow spiritual fruit in all who belong to Christ. Looking back at my early years as a pastor, a number of factors chipped away at my godliness: the rigors of ministry, a hunger for numerical growth, and the lack of fervent prayer--to name just a few. My sin patterns were neither public nor scandalous, but they were real. I had yet to learn that the ministry God gave me is not nearly as important as the triune God who saved me. I knew all of this with my head, but I desperately wanted to experience it in my heart. Do you? Whatever your ministry may be, you can't work well unless the fruit of the Spirit is growing in you. Consider this book a firm but gentle nudge to meditate on the pieces of the fruit of the Spirit and to reflect on your need to shepherd in light of Galatians 5:22-23. -Aaron "My friend Aaron Menikoff provides both challenge and encouragement to the undershepherds of the Great Shepherd. This book will serve church leaders well." -Daniel L. Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
