"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5: 22-23a NIV). Galatians 5: 22-23 are well-known verses amongst Christians, and yet there is relatively little teaching on this subject. Whilst there is an abundance of literature on the Person of the Holy Spirit and a great emphasis placed on His gifts, especially in charismatic circles, the fruit of the Spirit (equally if not even more important than the gifts) has been somewhat neglected. In Growing in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit, Elena Arnaudova looks at each of the nine fruits of the Spirit, underlining their fundamental importance to us in our Christian development. These simple, down-to-earth, and practical studies are the result of some of the insights and revelations Elena has received through her own devotional times over twenty years as a born-again believer. In reading this book, it is Elena's hope and prayer that you will be blessed, encouraged, and helped to grow into the fully mature character and person God created you to be. Elena Arnaudova was born and grew up in Kent in England. A qualified Secondary School and English Foreign Language teacher, she has taught for a number of years in the UK, as well as in France and Bulgaria. She also spent seven years working as an administrative assistant for a church in Hastings. In 1998 she married Deyan, and in 2007, at nearly forty years of age, she gave birth to a beautiful daughter, Rebeka.

Drawing on a particular emphasis within the phenomenological tradition as exemplified by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Eugene Gendlin, this book considers the role of the lived body as a way of knowing and being within three practical contexts that illustrate some of the nuances of embodied enquiry: qualitative research, psychotherapy, spirituality.
