Pups of the Spirit puts a whimsical and child-friendly twist on the biblical Fruit of the Spirit attributes in this new board book illustrated by Deborah Melmon. Nine lovable canines romp through the pages of this picture book displaying important traits such as Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Patience, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control. Max is filled with love and likes to greet people with a sloppy smooch; Pete the basset hound is so peaceful he falls asleep; Gigi is soft and gentle with God's creatures.
Poetic rhyming text and playful illustrations show the pups in various activities, demonstrating their qualities and helping young readers to learn these important spiritual traits.
