Fruit is not a result of the branch's effort; it is the responsibility of the vine. That is one reason Christ used the grapevine as a picture of the Christian's relationship to him. Andrew Murray looks closely at this metaphor in this classic work, exploring it in 31 gripping chapters. - Back cover ER -
