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.

If, like many other people, you have questioned whether there is something more to Jesus church than the religious institutions we ve inherited after two thousand years, you ll want to read Finding Church. Here is straight talk from a man who has sought authentic New Testament community for more than fifty years and who has discovered it in the most unlikely places. Now Wayne wants to help you find this incredible bride Jesus is shaping by looking at the church as God sees her and by recognizing her as she takes shape around you. His church is a living temple, springing up in the individual heart and then knit into a worldwide community of people whose very relationships put God s glory on display. There s no way human effort can build it or sustain it, which is why our attempts fall so woefully short. She is the fruit of a new creation of men and women who live beyond the human conventions of society and share a life in Jesus that satisfies their most ardent hunger.

Finding Church: What If There Really Is Something More?

People are abandoning our religious institutions in droves. In the last few decades sixty-five million Americans who once attended a local church, no longer do. About half of those no longer self-identify as Christian, but over thirty-one million still do and are seeking a more relevant faith beyond Sunday-morning Christianity. What do we make of this exodus and how will it affect the future of the church? Does it portend the end of Western Christianity? Wayne Jacobsen doesn t think so. Having met with thousands of people around the world who are done with religious institutions, he is more hopeful than ever that this phenomenon might help revitalize the church Jesus is building. Whether you attend a local church or you're done with it, how we respond will have repercussions for generations to come. This is our opportunity to embrace God's work in a wider way than any single institution can contain.
