In this powerful follow-up to his bestseller The Prayer of Jabez, Dr. Bruce Wilkinson explores John 15 to show readers how to make maximum impact for God. Dr. Wilkinson demonstrates how Jesus is the Vine of life, discusses four levels of "fruit bearing" (doing the good work of God), and reveals three life-changing truths that will lead readers to new joy and effectiveness in His kingdom. Secrets of the Vine opens readers' eyes to the Lord's hand in their lives and uncovers surprising insights that will point them toward a new path of consequence for God's glory.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
That They Might Have Books More Abundantly In The Prayer of Jabez, Bruce Wilkinson took a single passage of Scripture and expounded on it so powerfully that Multnomah has just gone back to press for a total ofgulpfour million copies in print. The publisher is hoping that history will repeat itself with Wilkinson's follow-up, Secrets of the Vine: Breaking Through to Abundance. Here, Wilkinson takes on John 15 and divulges three secrets of "bearing fruit" more abundantly for Christ. Wilkinson has that special talent for making readers feel that his books speak directly and personally to them. Multnomah plans an initial release of 250,000 copiesand after that, who knows? ( Apr.)
Customer Reviews
ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL.
I loved every detail of this book!
Short, sweet, encouraging
I loves this little book. I read it one night on my iPhone and it gave me visually the perfect message for the struggle I was/am having with brig disciplined by God. Great read for someone feeling cut down to realize that God is lifting you up.
Better Than The Prayer of Jabez
This is another Wilkinson book I read nearly a decade ago. It is linked with the Prayer of Jabez and explores John 15 (1-2, 5, 8) - "I am the true vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit." Secret #1: If your life consistently bears no fruit, God will intervene to discipline you. Secret #2: If your life bears some fruit, God will intervene to prune you. Secret #3: If your life bears a lot of fruit, God will invite you to abide more deeply with Him. We are created to glorify God so we must cooperate with His ways and respond in obedience and trust. Although Secrets of the Vine was not as popular as The Prayer of Jabez, I feel it is a much better book.
