Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Comfort Foods Cookbook: More Than 200 Recipes That Taste Like Home and Love: Brunstetter, Wanda E: 9781636099736: Amazon.com: Books

Wanda Brunstetter is an award-winning romance novelist who has led millions of readers to lose their heart in the Amish life. She is the author of over 100 books with more than 12 million copies sold. Many of her books have landed on the top bestseller lists, including the New York Times, USA Today, Publisher's Weekly, CBA, ECPA, and CBD. Wanda is considered one of the founders of the Amish fiction genre, and her work has been covered by national publications, including Time Magazine and USA Today.

Wanda's fascination with the Amish culture developed when she met her husband, Richard, who grew up in a Mennonite church, and whose family has a Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Meeting her new Mennonite sister-in-laws caused Wanda to yearn for the simpler life. In their travels, she and her husband have become close friends with many Amish people across America. Wanda's desire to explore their culture increased when she discovered that her great-great grandparents were part of the Anabaptist faith.

All of Wanda's novels are based on personal research intended to accurately portray the Amish way of life. Many of her books are well-read and trusted by the Amish, who credit her for giving readers a deeper understanding of the people and their customs.

Wanda's primary attraction to the Amish is their desire to live a devout Christian life that strives to honor God, work hard, and maintain close family ties. Whenever she visits her Amish friends, Wanda finds herself drawn to their peaceful lifestyle, sincerity, and close family ties, which is in stark contrast to the chaos and busyness that plagues so many modern "Englishers." Time and time again, Wanda loses her heart in the Amish life, and she hopes her readers will, too. For more information, visit: www.WandaBrunstetter.com

My Thoughts...

This cookbook with recipes from many people from the Amish community would make a great gift this season. It would be great for those who love to cook and those just learning. It's all easy recipes and the ingredients are in your pantry already.

Take a Seat at the Table Anthony Oneal

The table has always been the spiritual, emotional, and relational center of a life well-lived. It's where the real work of life--from the mundane to the magnificent--is dreamed up, planned out, prayed over, accomplished, and celebrated. And the metaphor of the table is critical throughout Scripture.

Yet most people aren't intentional about taking a seat at the table of their own lives--let alone prioritizing the important things that happen around the tables in their homes, at work, and beyond. Utilizing his trademark humor, compelling stories, and lessons from his life, including both his successes and failures, Anthony O'Neal helps readers

• become empowered to make the best financial, career, health, emotional, and relational decisions;
• identify the keys to foster strong relationships with friends and family, build a "work tribe that will help you achieve your goals, and develop a vision for thriving in every phase of life; and
• discover an eternal quality of life filled with meaning, true abundance (including financial freedom), and joy.

Just about every significant decision, conversation, prayer, celebration, affirmation, or critical decision takes place around the table--are you ready to take a seat at the head of your own table?
