11.17.2023 | By: Texas Wesleyan University

Dr. Gladys Childs book, "Busting Barriers: Overcome Emptiness & Unleash Fruitful Living" is a 40-day devotional guide to breaking through psychological barriers that keep individuals from living out the fruits of the Spirit. With scripture, practical application, and self-affirmation statements, the reader learns tools to overcome the obstacles to achieving fruitful living. 

The book is divided into nine chapters, one for each fruit of the Spirit. Each chapter gives a brief definition of each fruit, along with a discussion of a popular myth surrounding the fruit. Then, there are five devotionals in each chapter.

Dr. Childs wrote the book for individuals struggling with some level of emptiness. "We are meant to live fully into love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The only way to do that is to identify where one is struggling and then take active steps to make changes and foster growth."

The book is available on Amazon and has already hit the #1 New Release status in four categories, including Inspirational Christianity and Men's Inspirational Spirituality.
