Gentleness: The Way of Life

In a world that prizes speed, achievement, and self-assertion, gentleness can feel like a forgotten virtue. Yet the Bible calls believers to display this Christlike quality in every relationship and circumstance. How do we live this out in the chaos of everyday life? What hope is there for those who speak before they think or react before they pray?

In Gentleness, R. D. Norman unpacks Scripture’s teaching on this often-overlooked fruit of the Spirit, showing why it matters and how it transforms the way we engage with others. Winsome, practical, and rooted in God’s Word, this book invites you to reflect the heart of Christ—strength under control, guided by love.

R. D. Norman serves as a missionary in Romania, where he is involved in evangelism, discipleship, counseling, and teaching. He is joyfully married to his wife, Ema, and together they have a daughter, Abigail.
