Homespun Devotions: Volume Three is Now Published!

 "Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary: praise Him in the firmament of His power. Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet: praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
Psalm 150:1-6

This is the Psalm that resonates most with me tonight! A Psalm full of praises to our awesome God, in whom "we live, and move, and have our being." Acts 17:28

Homespun Devotions: Volume Three is now published,  and the Kindle version is available to purchase on Amazon! Lord willing, the paperback version will be available as soon as it has completed the review process—hopefully within the next day or so.

Remember when I asked you in this post to guess what was different about Volume Three, based on the book cover? Now that it is published, I can tell you the secret!


Homespun Devotions: Volume Three has over 50 recipes included! These are recipes that are on rotation in our home. Some I came up with, others I have altered or accumulated over the years, and I am so thrilled to be able to share them in this book!

If you have so graciously offered to help us launch and spread the news about the book, Kevin, Zach, and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Lord willing, we will be mailing your signed copy to you just as soon as possible.

If you haven't already joined the launch and are willing to help us get the word out and/or leave us an Amazon review, please email us your name and mailing address at homespundevotions@gmail.com, and we will add you to the list.

ALL glory to our gracious and loving God for helping me persevere through some pretty tough circumstances to finish the book and get it published. And a huge thank you to Zach for creating another wonderful book cover and to our dear friend, Kalen, for doing the formatting for us. God is so good and so dear to my heart. I can't thank Him enough.

Publishing these books is such a dream come true. My prayer is that each person who reads them will find comfort, encouragement, renewed hope, and a closer walk with Jesus with the turning of each page. He means everything to me, and each word was written with the desire to exalt Him. He is so worthy of our praise and gratitude! I am overwhelmed by His faithfulness and goodness to my family and me.

May He bless each person who will ever read these words.
