Foreword
Small irritations and problems can eat away at the beauty and love relationship of life," says author, W. Barry Miller.
In Little Foxes That Spoil the Vines, Miller points out the danger of ignoring "little sins" and allowing them to grow.
These peccadilloes are skillfully portrayed metaphorically in six foxes, from the gray fox of hurtful words to the black fox of doubt. Such little foxes can ruin our vineyards and destroy our lives if left to run wild.
Miller offers practical suggestions for capturing and controlling these foxes before damage is done.
I commend this book for the strengthening of our life with God, with self, and with others. This wisdom will help us hunt down those pesky foxes and be set free to keep bearing fruit for God.

Foreword
Little Foxes That Spoil the Vines could be called a book for spiritual renewal. It probes deeply into our attitudes and the subtle sins of the spirit, which spoil life's meaning, effectiveness, and relationships with God and others.
Here is an insightful look at these inner temptations which so easily overtake the strong as well as the weakespecially the strong. "If you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall" (1 Cor. 10:12).
However, there is more. The chapters are biblical and Christ-centered. For each sidetracking allurement, there is a solution. Miller shows the way toward deliverance and healing from these harmful attitudes and sins of the spirit.
