Book review — Deep Roots, Good Fruit

Book: Deep Roots, Good FruitAuthor: Kristin Elizabeth CouchPublisher: The Good Book CompanyRetail Price: £8.99 (buy now)
Review by Jonny Raine1 minute readJuly/August 2025, page 28

Deep Roots, Good Fruit

This exploration into the fruit of the Spirit is one of the most wonderfully written books I’ve read in a long time. As the author shares stories and experiences alongside truths from the Bible, it’s like taking a scenic stroll in a forest by a meandering river rather than a sprint along an urban street. As such, some readers might find the style a little slow in getting to the point, but for those who enjoy reading, this will be ideal.

Each of the nine chapters meditates on one of the nine aspects of the fruit in a biblically faithful and Christ-centred way that explores the practicalities of Christian living.
