The Litmus

What does your fruit say about you? The Litmus is a call to stop measuring your walk with God by outward religion and start measuring it by inward character. Jesus said you would know people by their fruit — not by their words, not by what they perform on a Sunday morning, but by what actually grows in them when no one is watching. Through each Fruit of the Spirit, author Jacklyn M Johnson leads readers through a piercing test: a question to sit with, a contrast to recognize, and a truth to confront. This is not a book about performing better. It's a book about becoming real — and it doesn't stop at self-examination. Two closing chapters confront the cost of a divided life, the hypocrisy of performing faith publicly while living differently in private, and the loving discipline of a God who brings hidden things into the light. A warning book and a restoration book at once, The Litmus calls believers toward the kind of character that survives when the audience disappears.
