The Vinedresser's Notebook. Judith Sutera

Аннотация:

Scripture is filled with images and stories of grapevines and vine tending. Yet few modern people have any idea of what that entails and the deep levels of symbolism that were intended in the Bible and comprehended by an agrarian people. <p>&nbsp;</p> Written by a vinedresser, theologian, psychologist, and nun, this illustrated gift book centers on a visual meditation combined with short reflections about the spiritual life, extending the spiritual metaphor of the vineyard, the vinedresser, and Jesus&rsquo; teachings. In some ways&nbsp;it is&nbsp;akin to the adult picture books in the vein of such classics as <em>Hope for the Flowers</em>. The words are simple and few, the pictures clear and evocative, as much a part of the meditation as the words. <em>The Vinedresser's Notebook</em> can be used as 40-day devotional, in a group setting, or as an inspirational book. <p>&nbsp;</p>
