In Season: Embracing the Father's Process of Fruitfulness

The farmer knows not to look for grapes in spring nor lament the barrenness of winter. Each season is critical in making his vineyard fruitful. The same is true for you. Fruitfulness is part of a cycle that includes promise and hope, perseverance and struggle,and even rest and refreshing. Recognizing that God works differently depending on what season you re going through will help you embrace his greater process and not strive so much in your own efforts. When Jesus wanted his followers to understand what it meant for them to be fruitful he took them to a vineyard and showed them how they could live in him like a branch lives in a vine. In this compelling book Wayne Jacobsen combines his experience of growing up on a vineyard, forty years of biblical study, and his own life-long relationship with Jesus to help unpack Jesus words so you can live free and full in him. In Season will help you embrace a dynamic, transforming relationship with Jesus, respond to what he is doing in you each day rather than just reacting to difficult circumstances, discover the fruitfulness that comes not from your own efforts, but from a fulfilled life in him, and engage a richer and more effectual conversation with him in your daily life.

WAYNE JACOBSEN wanders the planet helping people sort out how to live deeply in the life of Jesus. He has written and worked with others on many books about spiritual intimacy and relational church life including A Man Like No Other, He Loves Me, So You Don t Want to Go to Church Anymore, and The Shack.
