A Movement for Spiritual Flourishing in Any Season of Life
The Book
Return to Abiding in the Vinedresser
In a culture that measures fruitfulness by productivity, The Art of Vinemaking offers a countercultural and deeply compelling invitation: to return to the slower, sacred rhythm of abiding.
Through the rich metaphor of John 15, author and artist Bette Dickinson weaves biblical insight, personal story, and 17 original hand-drawn illustrations —creating a deeply visual and embodied reflection on what it means to be rooted in Christ in every season.
