The Old Schoolhouse magazine will be publishing a review of the Homestead Blessings Collection, Volume 2 in their March issue. Here’s part of what they’ll be saying:
“With these DVDs, you too can learn about growing herbs, gardening, and canning while enjoying some homespun hospitality and southern charm with Vicki, Jasmine, Hannah, and CeCe West, a delightful mother/daughter(s) team from Tennessee.”
“Their obvious love for family and home is truly a blessing.”
“The DVDs are well worth the money for what you get—a storehouse of knowledge and practical skills that can be used for a lifetime. Priceless.”
“I already own and have enjoyed the Homestead Blessings Collection: Volume 1 covering bread baking, candle making, and soap making. Now I am thrilled to have Volume 2 on my shelf as well as a resource that I can use over and over again. Highly recommended!”
In Her Words
Monday, December 19, 2011
Today we join people around the world who are mourning the loss of Denise Sproul. And we are also celebrating a life well lived.
To that end, we want to share 14:00 minutes with you.
A few years ago, we were producing a television series with Joni Eareckson Tada. Joni asked us to do an episode entitled “When Disability Hits Home”, featuring her friends Charles Colson and R.C. Sproul, both “titans of the faith” who are grandparents of children with disabilities. This assignment took us to Washington, D.C., coastal Massachusetts, Orlando, and yes, to southwest Virginia, to the home of R.C. Jr. and Denise Sproul.
Here is a link to that episode. The segment on the Sprouls begins at about 14:00 minutes (although you may also be encouraged by the Colsons in the first half of the episode).
http://www.joniandfriends.org/television/when-disability-hits-home/
The Sprouls are, simply, an encouragement to those of us who hope to walk well when we face life’s inevitable hardships. Our friend Mickey Sobeski (the father of Hannah, whose story we’re preparing to tell in a feature film) says often that we all need to be prepared for life’s storms - that Hannah was prepared for the storm she faced.
We are saddened by the loss of Denise. But we are encouraged by her, and by her family. We hope the words of R.C., R.C. Jr., and Denise Sproul in this short television segment might help strengthen each of us today.
