The Vinedresser's Notebook: Spiritual Lessons in Pruning, Waiting, Harvesting & Abundance

About this book

Scripture is filled with images and stories of grapevines and vine tending. Yet few modern people have any idea of what that entails and the deep levels of symbolism that were intended in the Bible. Written by a vinedresser theologian psychologist and nun this illustrated text centers on a visual meditation combined with short reflections about the spiritual life extending the spiritual metaphor of the vineyard the vinedresser and Jesus teachings. The words are simple and few the pictures clear and evocative as much a part of the meditation as the text itself. In reading this book and understanding how the vines work and what the role of the vinedresser is readers can explore more deeply what vine care means for their spiritual walk. The Vinedressers Notebook can be used as 40-day devotional in a group setting or as an inspirational book.
