Life Letters: The Fruit of the Spirit
Women of the Bible Write from Their Hearts to Ours

by Becky Doughty



Dear Sister,
I have been asked to tell you my story in my own words...

A beautiful princess and her prince charming...who turns out to be not so charming after-all.
A tormented outcast watching life pass her by.
A wealthy society dame slumming...and loving it.
A mother waiting for her son to come around.
A brutal kid-napping gone right.

How well do you know the stories of the women in the Bible? Have you ever really considered how difficult life must have been for the renown prostitute, Rahab? What about King David's wives? How did they feel about sharing one of the greatest men in history with each other? Have you ever tried to imagine what it must be like to helplessly watch your child suffer at the hands of an evil spirit?

In my new book, Life Letters: The Fruit of the Spirit, I have reconstructed in letter form the memoirs of several women from Biblical history. Life Letters: The Fruit of The Spirit is a collection of letters introducing us to nine of these women whose lives demonstrate what it means to produce the character traits of a believer; the "fruit" of the Spirit. Each letter focuses on one of the fruit listed in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, while expressing the joys and sorrows, the blessings and hardships, of being a woman, regardless of generation, culture or status. It is my prayer that by giving each one a voice of her own, these matriarchs of the faith will speak into your life as they share from the their hearts.

You are invited to break open the seal on these memoirs and take a personally-penned journey into the past. May the testimonies of these women motivate and inspire you to discover what it means to produce the fruit of the Spirit in your own life.

He lives!
Becky
