"It's popular for the modern woman to resent being a housewife," says Ella May Miller. Many seem to feel that it is a second-rate profession. Mrs. Miller goes on to say that dissatisfaction is causing unrest and discontent in many homes today, not excluding many Christian homes. Homemakers are taking second looks at their job. Many are giving it up for "greener pastures," they say. Being a homemaker can be a rewarding and fruitful task, and especially enjoyable when the homemaker joins hands with God. This task takes devotion, patience, and time to do well. From her "Heart to Heart" radio program, which originates at Mennonite Broadcasts in Harrisonburg, Virginia, Mrs. Miller has compiled some of her talks into Happiness is Homemaking. This book will give you inspiration, insight into homemaking, and a new, refreshing understanding of your homemaking task. In twenty chapters, she talks of creativity, identity, prayer, fatigue, tension, mistakes, love, and other important topics relative to homemaking. - Back cover.

The Lost Arts of Hearth and Home is not about extreme, off-the-grid living. It’s for city and suburban dwellers with day jobs: people who love to cook, love fresh natural ingredients, and old techniques for preservation; people who like doing things themselves with a needle and thread, garden hoe, or manual saw. Ken Albala and Rosanna Nafziger Henderson spread the spirit of antiquated self-sufficiency throughout the household. They offer projects that are decidedly unplugged and a little daring, including: * Home building projects like rooftop food dehydrators and wood-burning ovens * Homemaking essentials, from sewing and quilting to rug braiding and soap making * The wonders of grain: making croissants by hand, sprouting grains, and baking bread * Adventures with meat: pickled pig’s feet, homemade liverwurst, and celery-cured salami Intended for industrious cooks and crafters who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, The Lost Arts of Hearth and Home will teach you the history and how-to on projects for every facet of your home, all without the electric toys that take away from the experience of making things by hand.
Far more than a guide to homemaking and being a fine host—although it is definitely all that too—The Inviting Life is about how to live each day with a desire and determination to turn the ordinary into something lovely. It’s also a book about why we should bother. Whether the subject is décor, ambience, shopping, feeding weary travellers, mixing cocktails, planning dinner parties, or getting yourself motivated for spring cleaning, Laura Calder affirms the value of our everyday activities and shows how beauty, creativity, and delight have the power to change the world. This one-of-a-kind book is both a page-turning narrative about Laura’s own hosting and home-making adventures and an invaluable work of reference. It’s a spur to ideas for everything from creating a welcoming living space and making a respectable salad, to putting guests at their ease and writing a thank-you note worth receiving. Written with candour and humour in Laura’s inimitable and engaging voice, The Inviting Life offers empowering guidance for anyone looking to take more pleasure in their life and home.
