"The format is simple, direct, full of supporting scripture and easy to read. I like the way Jimmie approached the Fruit of the Spirit as the primary responsibility of the believer to be aware of, check and make adjustments to his own vital signs. I think he has a winner here. It's a great personal or group teaching tool."Bishop Edward T. CookChurch of God In ChristOhio North First Ecclesiastical JurisdictionThis was very easy reading. I am a Visual Learner and the Biblical principles associated with life applications as Christians was vividly portrayed as I read. I envision your book as a 'must" for a new converts/new members class assignment.Mother Thelma H. Giles-ButtsJurisdictional Supervisor of WomenOhio North First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction"For those times when we need a spiritual "check-up" "Vital Signs" is the perfect remedy. It dispenses prescriptions from the biblical pharmacy that are guaranteed to heal the sin sick soul."Loretta McKinleyMusic Director, Mt Zion of OakwoodPastor Jimmie Hicks, Jr. gives us in this book the Biblical tools to diagnosis and maintain a healthy spiritual life, it's a must read.Cecil Gamble, Jr.Pastor.Greater Mt. Calvary C.O.G.I.C.Just as maintaining good physical health requires periodic monitoring of vital signs, maintaining spiritual health requires monitoring of spiritual vital signs. This very sound book by Pastor Jimmie Hicks, Jr., reveals the heart of true pastor. It unpacks the word in Gal 5:22-23 on the "fruit of the Spirit" to be used as a practical tool for periodically assessing one's spiritual well-being and growth. It is therefore, highly recommended, not as a book for a one-time reading, but as one that its readers will want to return to again and again as they seek the Lord for soundness and strength in their Christian life.Dr. Ernest L. Fields, Pastor Calvary Hill Church of God in Christ
