Picture, if you will, a verdant valley .On a small hillside, the owner had planted a beautiful vineyard. He had laboured at this, choosing the very best vines to produce a bountiful crop. Few know the training the vines undergo-the cutting, pruning, twisting the branches out of the normal way of growth-training the vine to do its owner's bidding to get a good crop, a precious vintage. We, the church, are the vineyard of the Lord. Yet many in the church have abused this right, harming the vulnerable among them and, in doing so, causing the precious Name we bear to be despised. And as Israel was judged in the book of Isaiah, so, too, is the church in need of judgement. So we need to submit to the cutting, the training, and the pruning in order to produce the fruit He intends. That's what this book is about.
