This book is one of the most beautiful gift books...great for any household coffee table. More than that, it is full of the beauty and riches of God and how He works in the lives of His children. The author's personal experience growing up on a Vineyard gives him the expertise to help the reader understand the spritutal aspects through the explanation of the practical. It is most definitely one of my favorites and a great gift to give to anyone...whether a believer or not. For the believer it will enrich and enhance his/her walk with God. For the unbeliever it will give a glimps of the God who loves him/her.

Insight.

I absolutely love this book. I don't read a lot, but this is a book that I belive will help people who want to, to understand more about the Lord Jesus Christ and The Father in the role of Vinedresser... It is wonderful.

The vine must be carefully tended in order to bear fruit...

The message in this book touched my heart, If you struggle to understand God's perfect plan read this book. The analogies are so beautifully illustrated. You will know how beloved you are by our Father, and how carefully He tends to us, throughout the stages of our spiritual growth. We need tending in order to bear fruit!

"In My Fathers Vineyard" should be in every library

Wayne has beautifully captured the Love of our Father in his book "In My Fathers Vineyard". The book should be strategically and prominantly placed on every persons coffee table who calls him or herself a "Christian" of virtually any denomination or persuasion. Wayne uses the example of a vineyard to show God's love for all of us. The seasons, natural growth progress and grape harvesting processes are all used as warm examples of things that might or do happen in the life of any person.

A deeply insightful book

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is searching his heart for ways to grow closer to God. The book primarily revolves around Jesus' teaching in John 15. Like most people, however, I do not have much experience with or knowledge about vineyards, so this author's profound insights taught me many wonderful things about my Father that I would have never otherwise learned. The author does a wonderful job using the situation God placed him in to teach his fellow Christian family.
