What could be more delightful than a simple gift from the heart of the home...a loaf of strawberry bread or a potpourri sachet for a summertime guest...a jar of apricot-raisin jam or a tin of mochaccino mix for a friend on a rainy afternoon...a bottle of a special homemade cordial for the hosts of a holiday party... In From My House to Yours, John Hadamuscin not only captures the spirit of giving but also offers the perfect gifts as well. With his customary flair, he has created a year-round collection that's filled to the rim with delicious yet uncomplicated recipes, thoughtful gifts, and fond remembrances. From tea breads and marmalade in winter to springtime gifts of food using rhubarb and strawberries, from a summertime "thanks for a great weekend" gift of tomato chutney to a dried flower wreath in the fall and cookies, condiments, and confections for Christmas, here are dozens of homemade presents to give to anyone on any occasion. And more than 75 full-color photographs show the gifts themselves along with John's perfectly simple ideas for packaging and presentation. As warmhearted and attractive as it is useful, From My House to Yours is a wonderful gift in itself -- a gift that's brimming over with good ideas and best wishes.

How does life in each room of your home manifest the Gospel? The Christian gospel isn't just a spiritual reality. The Word became flesh and bone, and the gospel becomes our porch, dining room, bedroom, and kitchen. The driving desire of the gospel is "my life for yours." Our desire should be to have this love tranform everything we do, room by room. This book works its way through every part of the house, examining each part in light of Scripture. The claims of God are always total, and this is evident on the doorposts and in a sink full of dishes. Self-centeredness destroys in monotonously similar ways. Giving up life for another produces a harvest of kindness and mercy. Household questions should always begin with, "is this my life for yours?"

Find beauty and hope by facing and dealing with the messiness of family life. The family is an imperfect institution. Broken people become broken parents who make broken families. But actually, broken is normal and exactly where God wants us. In The Beauty of Broken, Elisa Morgan, one of today’s most respected female Christian leaders, for the first time shares her very personal story of brokenness—from her first family of origin to the second, represented by her husband and two grown children. Over the years, Elisa’s family struggled privately with issues many parents must face, including: alcoholism and drug addiction infertility and adoption teen pregnancy and abortion divorce, homosexuality, and death Each story layers onto the next to reveal the brokenness that comes into our lives without invitation. “We’ve bought into the myth of the perfect family,” says Elisa. “Formulaic promises about the family may have originated in well-meaning intentions, but such thinking isn’t realistic. It’s not helpful. It’s not even kind.” Instead she offers hope in the form of “broken family values” that allow parents to grow and thrive with God. Values such as commitment, humility, relinquishment, and respect carry us to new places of understanding. Owning our brokenness shapes us into God’s best idea for us and enables us to discover the beauty in ourselves and each member of our family.
