5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Gift Book, Full of the Riches of God, July 30, 2001

By 

Marian T. McFadden (Lake Forest, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In My Father's Vineyard (Hardcover)

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.

By A Customer

This review is from: In My Father's Vineyard (Hardcover)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A deeply insightful book, July 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In My Father's Vineyard (Hardcover)

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.
