Prepare your heart and home to serve not only family and friends, but neighbors and strangers too! Make any space a haven of discipleship, connection, and comfort.

As Christians, we sometimes forget the power of an open door to a lost world. Using our homes to live out our faith in the true model of the Great Commission is challenging in our busy, over-scheduled lives. But having a home that is always open and available is key to living in community with others and being missional in our thinking. In this beautiful and inspiring book, wife, mom, and interior design enthusiast Victoria Duerstock offers simple and inspiring ways to prepare our hearts and homes to be open to friends, neighbors, and strangers.

You don't need an immaculate or professionally decorated home to be hospitable. In fact, there is beauty in being honest with others about our lived-in spaces, and great value in being humble enough to live life together in the midst of imperfection. But it'll be a blessing to you and to your guests to create a space that reflects the beauty, peace, and joy of life in Christ.

Whether you have a tiny apartment or a big old farmhouse, you can learn how to:

•Declutter common areas•Bring hygge to your guest room (or even just to your couch, if that's allyou've got!)•Create a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere•Schedule in regular housecleaning•Prepare freezer meals for no-stress last minute dinners

More importantly, be encouraged to have your heart in the right place, to engage in meaningful discussion with guests, and to take time to be a "Mary" in our works-driven "Martha" culture. Allow the Holy Spirit to overflow from your heart into your homes and community as you let your guard down and invite people into your lives.

Victoria Duerstock has worn many hats in the interior design industry over the last twenty years, including assisting with home and condo design, serving virtually as executive assistant in one of the largest furniture stores in the country, and being involved, along with her husband, in the wholesale side of product design, development, and sales. She enjoys ministering to other women in her church and is also a blogger, speaker, and social media consultant. She's mother to three nearly grown children and lives with her husband in Nesbit, Mississippi.

A charming Christmas picture book that teaches the joy of giving and points to Jesus, the greatest gift of all

Badger tells the animals that he has a very special way to celebrate Christmas Day this year. He asks them to pack up the finest foods they can find and some special gifts—they are going to journey to another area of the forest for a celebration. But when they arrive, the animals are confused why they can’t begin tearing open gifts and enjoying all the foods . . . until Badger introduces them to the neighboring animals who live there and they experience the joy of sharing with those who don’t have as much.

A Christmas Journey for Jesus is the follow-up to the heartwarming Christmas storybooks, A Birthday Party for Jesus, Everyone Is Invited to Christmas, and A Christmas Pageant for Jesus.

Beautifully illustrated by Lee Holland, this picture book will offer young children a fun, relatable story of forest friends who discover that it is truly more blessed to give than to receive.

This year she's planning something unique, and she's not sure how the community will respond.

On the evening of the play, everyone is in for a surprise, including Lizzie and Laura.

The final novel in bestselling Amish romance writer Linda Byler's Sadie's Montana Trilogy!

Sadie may be married now, but she's as spirited as ever, and her life is no less tame. In fact, soon after she and Mark are settled into the farmhouse which Mark is renovating, she's visited by three FBI agents who question her about the two children who mysteriously appeared one day at the Ranch. Before the agents leave, they warn Sadie that her beloved horse, Paris, is highly valuable, and that she and Mark may be in grave danger because of Paris.

This news, on top of Mark's unexpected black moods, leaves Sadie sometimes wishing she could go home, "lay her head on Mam's shoulder, and ask why she hadn't warned her." But when Sadie is kidnapped at gunpoint by two men in ski masks, her stubborn strength is tested beyond her imagining. Mark disappears emotionally without warning.

Now Sadie has disappeared, leaving Mark and her family wracked with worry. And Anna, Sadie's youngest sister, desperate for Neil Hershberger's attention, refuses to eat, plagued by an eating disorder as she fades away. And yet, Mark's younger brother Timothy appears, bringing unexpected life and hope to the family.

Mercifully, healing and courage reappear in unexpected times and places in this concluding volume of the Sadie's Montana series.

Keep the Focus on Jesus this Christmas with 24 Family Devotions for Advent! The flurry of shopping, gift giving, recitals, and parties adds a certain amount of tension to a season meant to be infused instead with awe and wonder. Ask most families what the focus of Christmas really is and they will readily answer that it is the birth of Christ, yet so many of us find ourselves overwhelmed with activities, travel plans, hosting, and more. Trying to prepare our hearts and our families to celebrate His birth becomes secondary while we try to survive the busyness! Victoria Duerstock wants to support families in their desire to make Christ the focus of all their celebrations this Christmas. Each day of this family devotional includes not only a Scripture and short short reflection for the twenty-four days leading up to Christmas, but also inviting full-color images and simple Christmas crafts that can be done as you focus on the rich meaning of this season. Whether the craft is to help decorate the tree with handmade ornaments and garlands or create gifts that kids can make for giving their family and friends, the items needed for each craft should be easy to find or gather and the emphasis remains directly on the reason we celebrate. Each devotional through the four weeks of Advent is focused on the themes of Hope, Preparation, Joy, and Love and is meant to be read with the entire family, or by the older child who needs something just for them in this special season. Advent Devotions and Christmas Crafts for Families will be your new favorite holiday tradition. It makes a wonderful early Christmas gift for kids, parents, or grandparents! Victoria Duerstock, wife and mom of three almost grown children, has always enjoyed one-on-one time with her children. Memories of the years of homeschooling and crafting with her own family have reminded her once again the joy that can be found in the slower pace and focused festivities an intentional look at the manager can bring. She is also the author of Hearth & Home, Hearth & Home at Christmas, and Biblical Hospitality. She lives in Nesbit, Mississippi.

Do you have five minutes a day? Read a Bible verse and reflect on one question a day for five years. Write just a line each day and watch how you grow and change over the years. This beautiful guided journal requires little commitment—just 5 minutes a day or less. But it yields a big reward as you focus your thoughts on God's Word and briefly respond to a thought-provoking question. A simple and meaningful addition to your quiet time or morning devotions, watch as your responses change over the years and reflect on how God has shaped your heart and life circumstances. Featuring scriptures from the Old Testament and New Testament, the questions are meant to inspire, convict, and draw you closer to God. Examples include:

•"In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul." —Psalm 94:19 Are you delighting in God’s goodness, or are you looking for other ways to calm, distract, or accept yourself? •"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." —Galatians 6:2 How are you feeling about the people needing you or asking for your help? •"Jesus said to him, 'I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.'" —Matthew 18:21–22 Is there someone God is asking you to forgive and, if so, what might that look like?

Maybe your response is a brief confession, a line about a challenge you're facing, a proclamation of praise, or even just an "amen!" or "Lord help me." With a minimal time investment, track your spiritual and emotional growth as well as your seasons of life as you watch how God is moving, coordinating, and gradually completing the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).

Gehring is the author or editor of more than a dozen books including Back to Basics, Homesteading, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Country Living, and The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Natural Remedies.

MONTH: November

From beloved Amish writer Linda Byler, comes a heartwarming Christmas romance set during the Great Depression.

It’s 1931, and times are tough for the Miller family, who are raising eight children in the midst of the Great Depression. When Eli Miller passes away unexpectedly, and then a fire destroys their barn, Annie has no idea how she’ll make ends meet.

The Amish community rallies around her and the children, as is their custom, but as days turn into weeks and then into months, Annie’s friends and neighbors return to their own routines and seem to expect Annie to do the same. Annie knows she needs to stay strong for the children and figure out a way to keep everyone warm and clothed and fed, but she is heartbroken and exhausted. She reminds herself that God will provide, but every day feels like an uphill battle.

When Annie receives a letter from a widower with six children of his own, she tries to put it out of her mind. Her critical mother reminds her that it's too soon to start a new friendship with a man, and warns her that blending a family will be complicated.

In the weeks and months to follow, Annie must learn to make her own decisions—and accept the consequences, good and bad—face her past, and embark on a new journey that will transform her and her large, complicated family.

When life seems especially complicated one summer, she finds herself saying that by Christmas everything will start to come together, but she has no idea the challenges—and ultimately blessings—headed her way.

Linda Byler grew up Amish and is an active member of the Amish church today. She is the author of several bestselling fiction series, all set in the Amish world: The Dakota Series, Hester’s Hunt for Home, Lancaster Burning, Sadie’s Montana, and Lizzie Searches for Love. She has also written several Amish Christmas romance novels including A Dog for Christmas, Mary’s Christmas Goodbye, Little Amish Matchmaker, and Becky Meets Her Match. Linda is also well known within the Amish community as a columnist for a weekly Amish newspaper. She lives near Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
