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?"
