Secrets of the Vine: Breaking Through to Abundance

Similar to Wilkinson's previous book "The Prayer of Jabez," this book ("Secrets of the Vine") is short and to the point. Reading the entire book in one sitting, I felt it read like a sermon -- a study on the text and its application on John 15.

Throughout the book, Wilkinson presents clearly on how to achieve an abundant life as taught by Jesus. The author talks frankly and shares his (and others') life experiences. Indeed, God deals with his children progressively based on the season of the child's life. I believe the book is theologically sound with a strong sense of evangelicalism.

If you are "chart" person, you will probably find the chart in chapter 5 (compare and contrast of disciplining and pruning) is surprisingly helpful.

Eipphany-OviedoELCA library section 5: Devotions and Prayer. This book explores John 15, explaining why Jesus is the vine of life, and the four levels of "fruit-bearing," or doing the good work of God. It's a helpful analogy. I find it makes more religious sense than Wilkinson's other book, The Prayer of Jabez.

As much as I don't want to recomend the Jabez series, I thought this book had something healthy to offer.
