Similar to Wilkinson's previous book "The Prayer of Jabez," this book ("Secrets of the Vine") is short and to the point. Reading the entire book in one sitting, I felt it read like a sermon -- a study on the text and its application on John 15.
Throughout the book, Wilkinson presents clearly on how to achieve an abundant life as taught by Jesus. The author talks frankly and shares his (and others') life experiences. Indeed, God deals with his children progressively based on the season of the child's life. I believe the book is theologically sound with a strong sense of evangelicalism.
If you are "chart" person, you will probably find the chart in chapter 5 (compare and contrast of disciplining and pruning) is surprisingly helpful.
