Jill Novak has just recently finished writing her new book, The Gift of Family Writing. Our Featured and Random bloggers this week will each receive a copy of this unique product. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this and I just recently reviewed it on my blog - you can read my review here. When I shared my review with Ms. Novak, her response was, "Oh, Kris, I cannot thank you enough! You have captured the spirit of The Gift of Family Writing. Thank you so much for expressing it so well." 

From the Gift of Family Writing website comes this description (click on the image above to read more!)

A Learning Lifestyle for the Whole Family

The Gift of Family Writing isn’t an activity, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a way of seeing and thinking, a way of appreciating the little things in life, a way of savoring everyday moments and valuing the individuality of family members. Written by Jill Novak and published by Remembrance Press, The Gift of Family Writing will show you how to connect your family’s hearts on paper and nurture family relationships.

This items comes in THREE versions ... an e-Book for $17.95, a paperback for $24.95 (plus s/h) and a paperback and instructional cd for $34.95. I encourage you to take a serious look at this product. As I stated in my review, "In the 21^st century, our lives are full of so much hustle and bustle and we often float through each day without really paying attention to what is going on inside our own homes. The Gift of Family Writing encourages us to take the time to savor those lovely moments, the funny comments and the silliness that only a family can enjoy. What a gift we would be giving to our children, our descendants, and ourselves if we took the time to write our life stories!"

The paperback and instructional cd is also available in The Schoolhouse Store which offers FREE SHIPPING on every purchase!

In addition, Jill Novak is now calling for submissions for the New Girlhood Home Companion - details here.

New Girlhood Home Companion!

Dear Daughters, Mothers, and Grandmothers,

     Sometime ago my daughter Claire and I made a wonderful discovery. We became aware of a period in a girl’s life that is quite lost to our culture. We made this discovery mainly through our exposure to the Elsie Dinsmore Series: Elsie’s Childhood, Elsie’s Girlhood, and Elsie’s Womanhood. We realized there was no Elsie’s Teenagehood, because there was no such thing as teenagers or adolescence in Elsie’s day. What a relief! We both could enjoy girlhood without feeling that it was over so soon. As far as we can tell, girlhood was anywhere from age ten to age eighteen or twenty.
     Years ago, we began collecting old books on various subjects including virtuous living, etiquette, home-making, sewing, and paper dolls. The Lord gave us a vision to include excerpts from those books in a publication called The Girlhood Home Companion. It is our desire to share the timeless wisdom of yesterday’s writers with you.
    We also like to include new articles and stories from daughters, mothers, and grandmothers on godly character and homemaking, so feel free to submit all devotionals, stories, poems, and articles for the new Girlhood Home Companion to the link below. We look forward to hearing from you.
