Glad And Golden Hours
$35.00
This companion for Advent and Christmastide is a guide to celebrating the season through a narrative of renewal and its attendant cavalcade of recipes and craft ideas, all exquisitely written by Lanier Ivester and lavishly illustrated by Jennifer Trafton.
Tangible acts of feasting and celebrating have suffused Lanier Ivester’s home all her life. But alongside her love of festivity, she’s wrestled with profound losses that have reshaped the landscape–both around her and within her.
These coexisting forces of great grief and great joy come together in a place called the Ruff House, where Ivester’s story (lavishly illustrated by Jennifer Trafton) not only reminds us of the inescapable presence of sorrow, but shows us how to celebrate and anticipate the return of glad and golden hours in the midst of it.
Like Robert Farrar Capon’s Supper of the Lamb, this is a book that defies the trappings of a mere cookbook or a collection of craft projects. It’s an embodiment of a rich theology of Creation, of what it means to be human when everything is both falling apart and coming back together.
At its heart, Glad & Golden Hours is a companion that will lead you through the seasons of Advent and Christmastide, illuminating the deep reality of the Kingship of Christ and our invitation into the richness of the Feast to come.

On the brink of losing her beloved business, Amy’s life is only made more complicated by a phone call from her father’s retirement home. Her father, who had been unexplainably absent from her life for 15 years, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and is now being kicked out of his home. Frustrated and callous, Amy tries to shake the interruption off, but is surprised by her father’s rambling admission of a large sum of money he stole and hid in a remote cabin many years ago. In a desperate act, Amy busts her father out of the retirement home and sets off to track down the missing money and save her bar. What she doesn’t bank on is an enlightening trip that will bond her to her father and stir up her own need for faith, forgiveness, and honesty.

Love is at the heart of Christmas-it’s the reason behind all our gathering and gift-giving at this time of year. In this Advent devotional, Dr Sinclair B Ferguson refreshes our hearts as we reflect on the source it all-love incarnate, Jesus Christ.Over the course of December, this devotional walks through 1 Corinthians 13 phrase-by-phrase, showing us that “love is” the Lord Jesus himself.
Sinclair Ferguson brings the rich theology of the incarnation to life with his trademark warmth and clarity. Drawing on stories from the Gospels, we’ll see what “love” looked like in the life of Christ, and be challenged us to love like him. Each day’s reading finishes with a question for reflection and a prayer.
However you’re feeling-weary or frantic, lonely or lovesick-your heart will be refreshed as you wonder again at the truth that love came down at Christmas in the person of Jesus Christ.

Let There Be Joy A Christmas Devotional
$15.99Add to cart“Let There Be Joy!” is a 25-day Christmas devotional that will enable the reader to navigate the busy-ness, the joy and the meaning that solely belongs to this miraculous season. Each day of this December journey presents either a true story that reflects the richness of the Christmas season or teaches a riveting lesson from the treasury of Christmas scriptures.
Some days the reader will laugh…other days the reader will weep…and hopefully, every day of this Yuletide devotional, the reader will be challenged to embrace the eternal message and meaning of the season that causes the world to stop in awestruck wonder.
In addition to the daily devotional readings, each day also presents Bible reading suggestions as well as the opportunity for practical and personal application.“Let There Be Joy!” is created to gently pry the reader’s heart away from its focus upon the Western 21st. Century materialistic display of dancing elves, calorie-laden fruitcake and year-long debt rationalized by self-fulfilling giving. This devotional is a heart-stopping reminder of the deepest and most eternal meaning of the season. It embraces the sincere manner in which God intended the recipients of His most precious gift to celebrate in all epochs to follow.
It is my desire that this book will not only present the loveliness of Christmas through the written-word but that the illustrations of the book will also visually present the singular and breath-taking beauty of Christmas. “Let There Be Joy!” has been written to envelope the reader in the glory and in the joy of the season when the world pauses to celebrate greatest the gift that has been given.
