Lessons from a Venetian Vinedresser

Lessons from a Venetian Vinedresser by Stiner, Robert Scott. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780882708812.

With Robert Scott Stiner you are about to walk out into a vineyard in Northeastern Italy in a little, obscure hill-town name San Germano. Nestled in the heart of these hills of San Germano in northeastern Italy lives a family named Bruzzo, whose lives revolve around their vineyard and where only the father is the vinedresser. The heart and passion of Aldo Bruzzo’s work in his vineyard consumes him. His love for what he does, from taking care of the branches to putting his name on the bottles, caused the author to see with unparalleled clarity, his identity in Christ. Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches, and My Father is the vinedresser." When He spoke those words to His disciples and also to us today, he was telling us that He, the disciples and the Father stand in the exact relationship as the vine, the branches and the vinedresser.
