Fruitful - Leslie C. Poston

. .

Résumé :
Lacey Marie is doodling through another church service when she is stopped by the words of a visiting evangelist who tells the congregation about Jesus teaching that compares people to trees. Some appear to have fruit but prove to be unfruitful. Others bear good fruit; some bear bad fruit. Soon Lacey begins to wonder, What kind of tree am I? Although Lacey usually feels free after leaving a service, she departs feeling as if she has an obligation. As the nagging thought of being likened to a tree leaves her with a deep desire to learn more about them, Lacey embarks on an adventure of spiritual growth as she decides to plant a seed and grow her own tree. But when things do not turn out as she expected, Lacey turns to a spiritual mentor for help. Will she ever succeed in achieving her goal? Fruitful is a moving story filled with moments of passion, hunger, and humility that ultimately points the way to fulfilling a deeper relationship with Christ.
