When he first envisioned becoming a farmer, author Emmet Van Driesche never imagined his main crop would be Christmas trees, nor that such a tree farm could be more of a managed forest than the conventional grid of perfectly sheared trees. Carving Out a Living on the Land tells the story of how Van Driesche navigated changing life circumstances, took advantage of unexpected opportunities, and leveraged new and old skills to piece together an economically viable living, while at the same time respecting the land's complex ecological relationships. From spoon carving to scything, coppicing to wreath-making, Carving Out a Living on the Land proves that you don't need acres of expensive bottomland to start your land-based venture, but rather the creativity and vision to see what might be done with that rocky section or ditch or patch of trees too small to log. You can lease instead of buy; build flexible, temporary structures rather than sink money into permanent ones; and take over an existing operation rather than start from scratch. What matters are your unique circumstances, talents, and interests, which when combined with what the land is capable of producing, can create a fulfilling and meaningful farming life.

Fan-carving is the process of slicing wood into thin blades (feathers) and then twisting and interlocking them to create a 3-dimensional design from one piece of wood. Fans and birds are the most popular items made. Legends and customs associated with the fan bird are of a religious and spiritual nature. With the help of European museums, the Nyes have traced the history and migration of this Old World folk art from the ancient Russian region, through Europe, to North America. Preserving this folk art is the purpose of this book. It contains easy to follow step-by-step instructions on how to make fans and birds. Full color photos accompany each step. Also included are six full-scale templates: a fan, plus five birds. This book contains a comprehensive chart of twelve species of wood, each evaluated for its performance. Fan-carving is an entry level project to woodcarving. Within three hours a novice can create a very respectable bird. The story about fan-carving is as interesting as making a bird.

A short non-fiction book about an accidental kitchen witch and the "spells" she has concocted for her life at home! His face was red, his mouth a sneer. I don't remember specifically what the fight was about, but I do remember one thing he said. Angry, grounded, and lashing out, my son reached deep into his bag of insults and produced: “You're a witch, Mom!” A look of triumph twinkled in his eye. What a sick burn. I was supposed to be hurt, I'm sure. Instead, I laughed. “You're going to have to try harder than that.” As he seethed, I tried not to smile. “A witch is a wise woman. She's crafty and learned. She's seen a lot of things, and not much scares her. Yes, son. Your mom is definitely a witch.” I never thought I'd say that. Ever. "What a wonderful book! Between the recommendations, the recipes, the advice, and the laughs, MY LIFE AS A KITCHEN WITCH left me magically refreshed. If you need to show your self some care without neglecting you responsibilities and loved ones, you need this book." ~ reviewer Marian A. "Creative and insightful. A fantastic reminder to not be so hard on myself while still striving for unlimited potential. Can't wait to try the spells. Especially Bacon Love Spell." ~ reviewer Michelle F.

Seldom does one pick up a book where the author was not only led by God to write it, but was provided by Him with her pen name, the book title, the names of the editors, the picture for the front cover, and the publishing company by which He wanted the book published. Such is the book that you are now holding in your hand. Nora Kendall has presented some simple, yet faith-enhancing stories of how God moved in her life for the benefit of others. She tells of the moments in her life when God called her into action and then provided all that she needed to carry out His work. Having never written a book before, Nora relied completely on God, not only for help in writing the manuscript, but to bring this book to publication. She makes it very clear that this book is not hers, but rather God's book, written by her hands. "Behold I stand at the door and knock." (Rev 3:20 KJV) If you feel moved by this book to respond to God's calling in your life, then go and answer the door.
