The grace that stimulates the fruit and maturity of a sanctified life comes to us through Jesus Christ. We bear much fruit only as we abide in Him. In A Vine-Ripened Life , author Stanley Gale points us to Jesus, the Vine of life of John 15, in whom we, as branches, must live and grow to bear the fruit of a grace-grown life. He explains, "Having begun in Christ we remain in Christ, continuing to draw our life from Him and maturing in grace." With pastoral sensitivity and an engaging style, Gale teaches readers both about the fruit of Christian character and how to cultivate it. Questions at the end of each chapter make this an ideal study for individuals or groups.

Stanley D. Gale (MEd, MDiv, DMin) is the author of over a dozen books on living the Christian faith. He is the husband of one wife, father of four, and grandfather of ten. He lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania, where he likes to play tennis and delight others with his puns.
