Set aside tradition and reexamine what Joseph Smith received from the Lord. A trilogy that asks what the restoration restores, requires, and promises.
The Story of the Vineyard
What Was Begun—What Remains—And What Will Come
The True Graft, The Watersprout, and The Graft Returns trace the story of the Lord’s vineyard—from its original planting, through scattering and long labor, to what remains and what was promised.
This work invites you to walk with Joseph Smith—not through the traditions built around him, but through the revelations the Lord actually gave him. It is a return to the vineyard itself: its beginnings, its purpose, and the Keeper’s voice.
Walk Through the Vineyard
Short reflections, restored patterns, and insights from the vineyard—written for those who seek the Keeper’s voice and desire to walk His path with understanding.
On Sale Now!
An accessible doctrinal walk-through of what the Lord restored through Joseph Smith—without the noise, the drift, or the layers of tradition. Built for readers who want plain answers, scriptural definitions, and a clear invitation back to the gate.
Not a controversy book—a clarity book.
The second volume follows the vineyard’s branching—how a living work can be redirected, how language can be repurposed, and how sincerity can be used to carry something foreign. This book is intentionally introduced with restraint.
Some departures don’t announce themselves.
The closing volume faces the promise: what the Lord said would come, what must be gathered, and what a restored people actually looks like. It’s written to strengthen faith, sharpen discernment, and prepare hearts for what is ahead.
The vineyard’s end is not loss—it’s return.

"I find myself awed at Michael's inspiration and boldness to go to the teachings of Joseph Smith to make sense of the allegory. Michael's book is full of unique and startling takes on the gospel subjects you thought were "settled science." His writing style is simple and direct and very easy to read. If you are unafraid of new ideas, you will enjoy this read."
"This book feels like sitting in a room with your best friend - talking, searching, and finding confidence in truths you may have carried quietly for a long time. It expanded what I already felt was right and gently cleared away what I wasn't sure of. I will read it more than once, and it left me eager to read the second volume. Hurry up with Book Two!"
