"When I was a boy, I had a really wicked temper. It was short and it was brutal. I would get in fights every recess." With that personal beginning, Dr David Moffett-Moore escorts each student into their own personal study of The Spirit''s Fruit: A Participatory Study Guide.

We are called together as Christians to a fruit-filled life. While God blesses us with one or more gifts as He wills, none of us receive all the gifts. But all of us are encouraged to live a Christ-led life in which all the fruit of the Spirit may grow in abundance. Dr. Moffett-Moore gives us wonderful tools for discussion and prayer to break up any hard ground and pour Christ''s Living Water into our spirits so the study itself aids more fruitful growth. The Participatory Study Series from Energion Publications is designed to invite Bible students to become a part of the community of faith that produced the texts we now have as scripture by studying them empathetically and with an aim to learn and grow spiritually. Each author is free to emphasize different resources in the study, and individual students, group leaders, and teachers are encouraged to enhance their study through the use of additional resources.

Do the things we believe about God as creator make any difference in the way we act in the world?

Yes, what we believe about God as creator impacts our theology and action in many ways. In this book, Dr. David Moffett-Moore will examine some of these implications by looking at topics as diverse as quantum physics and chaos theory, hermeneutics, ethics, and how we tell stories of faith.

Can one accept the major theories of science, including evolution and still be a faithful believer? What do these findings of science mean for the way we do theology in the 21st century? Dr. Moffett-Moore not only believes that we can accept the findings of science and still be faithful Christians, he believes that discoveries in fields such as physics and biology can help us talk about God in a more relevant and compelling way than we ever have before. When we talk about God in this new way, we will also find a new call to live in a way that is faithful both to the wonders of the physical Creation, and also to scripture.

This study is designed for individual reading and study. Though it does not include questions and other traditional elements of a study guide, it would still be an excellent guide for small group study on these topics.

Can one be both an existentialist and a Christian?

Existentialism is a philosophical school of thought unique in being based on feeling and experience rather than on the traditional foundations of philosophy. Many of its proponents have been atheists or can be considered opponents of religion. With this history, can there be such a thing as a Christian existentialism?

Dr. David Moffett-Moore believes there can be. In this book he outlines the basics of existentialist thought and a path to a Christian existentialist viewpoint.

This book is short, but challenging. It provides a starting point for an extended discussion.

How can one approach the Psalms in order to get the most benefit from that study? There are many, many answers to that question.

In this guide, Dr. David Moffett-Moore approaches the Psalms with the mind of a scholar, the heart of a pastor, and the soul of a poet. He leads the student on a path of study that is directed toward changing one’s life and way of thinking, rather than simply coming to an intellectual understanding of what was said.

The book consists of seven weeks of lessons, each one covering a range of Psalms. These are selected to cover the various categories of Psalms, and the discussion is aimed at understanding how to make use of these Psalms in one’s personal spiritual life and also in corporate worship. Each lesson concludes with reflection, discussion, action, and prayer.

While this book is designed for small group study, it is suitable for individual study of the Psalms as well. It will also provide significant help to a pastor planning to preach from the Psalms.
