Grit, Grace, & Grinnin': Life, Laughter, and Lessons from the Vine Dresser

What if the pruning isn’t punishment… but preparation?
What if the waiting isn’t delay… but divine design?

In Grit, Grace, & Grinnin’, Mandy Salisbury invites readers into the faith-filled journey of three friends building a vineyard one step of obedience at a time—through laughter, hard-earned lessons, and the unmistakable fingerprints of God. Through true-to-life stories, prophetic moments, and the kind of faith that’s forged when life doesn’t go according to plan, this book reveals what it looks like to trust the Vinedresser through every season and keep moving with child-like faith..

Written with heart, humor, and honesty, these pages are for anyone who has ever felt stretched, tested, or called into something bigger than they could manage on their own. It’s for the ones learning how to keep believing when the promise feels distant… and how to keep smiling when the only thing you can do is stand.

Inside, you’ll find stories of:

• Faith that grows in unexpected places

• Signs, confirmations, and God’s quiet direction

• Learning to trust the process when the path is unclear

• Pruning seasons that produce lasting fruit

• Courage to keep going—one “yes” at a time

Woven throughout the book are reflections and discussion points designed to encourage deeper connection with God, making this a perfect companion for personal reading, small groups, women’s gatherings, and anyone walking through a season of transformation.

This isn’t just a book about vineyards.
It’s a book about your life… and the faithful Father who is cultivating something beautiful in it.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that God wastes nothing—
not the storms, not the setbacks, not the stretching—
this book is for you.

Grit. Grace. And a whole lot of grinnin’.
