As the senior pastor of a church, I think Heart and Home is the perfect resource for busy women who love interior design and making their house a home. Victoria Duerstock makes the Bible practical and applicable to every reader and this book is well worth the read.

As soon as I read half of one article on Victoria’s website, I immediately texted that web address to my wife. Why? Well, the message of the article spoke specifically to several of the challenges Dawn is facing right now.

There’s quite a bit of devotional and teaching material out there for women at the moment. But finding an author that won’t simply offer easy answers but cuts through to the heart is rare. I recognized that in Victoria’s writing immediately. It’s hard to quantify just what those magical ingredients are, but you know them when you see them. And they are fully present and at work with Victoria.

I’m looking forward to talking over her writing with Dawn over the next days. And I have a sneaking suspicion my wife won’t be the only family member returning to Victoria’s pen for wisdom and spiritual insight!

This is an amazing creative concept that both calms the soul and encourages our individual identities in Christ.

Seldom do I discover a book which ministers to mind, body and soul, but Victoria Duerstock’s new “Heart and Home” is just such a jewel! I was immediately drawn to the unique design elements through color photographs, and especially the carefully selected accompanying Scripture, meditation and prayer. All of these work together to address one small element of life on which I can meditate all day long (and even bring into my own home through her practical suggestions.) While I am neither an interior designer nor DIY crafter, I am someone who embraced “hygge” long before I knew what the word meant – a beauty through coziness and care. You too? Good. My gift list for this special volume is already quite lengthy. . .

My friend, Victoria Duerstock, is a walking advertisement for all things lovely, which makes the blessing of holding this decorating book in your hands – a real treat. The essence of who she is, is reflected on each page. You’ll be challenged to celebrate all you have, while gathering new ideas to fill your home with the same beauty. Congratulations Victoria! Thank you for making our walls a better place to live!

As I read Heart & Home, I was captivated not only by the beauty and elegance on every page and in every word, but more importantly I was inspired to see how spaces can transform lives.

Creating a home is a sacred undertaking. Building a home or office that inspires, comforts, engages and transforms hearts leads to healthy individuals, families and communities. I was challenged to think about how our homes can be used to focus us on God; how every color, design and object can strengthen our soul.

I hope that Victoria’s book will also inspire you and refresh your heart and home.

— Robert Wallstrom, CEO Vera Bradley
