The book’s overall theme of growing spiritual fruit is broken into thirteen sections. The first nine deal with the fruit of the Spirit and the others are lessons from gardening, dealing with weeds, sowing and reaping, and the wonders of plants. Each section has readings for seven days, making ninety-one lessons enough for approximately a quarter of a year.
Each day’s lesson consists of two parts. The first part is especially for Dad and Mom and older children. It includes a suggested Scripture reading, a theme verse, and a devotional meditation on the topic introduced by the Scripture reading.
The second part consists of a reading from a continued children’s story related to that week’s theme. Each story is followed by questions for review and discussion, which provide opportunities for applying the theme to life.
