The Grace-Filled Homestead: Lessons I've Learned about Faith, Family, and the Farm

by Lana Stenner

Overview

These charming snapshots of life on the farm invite readers to incorporate the heart of homesteading—slower living rooted firmly in faith and family—into their everyday lives.
 
For nearly two decades, Lana Stenner and her family have been living their version of the simple life on their small Midwest farmstead—following God, chasing goats, and tending gardens. Join Lana as she shares heartwarming stories, hearty recipes, and some of the valuable lessons she’s learned in her homesteading journey, including:      

• Chase your dreams over, under, or through that fence. Persevere.
• Intentional living brings joy. Laser focus on what’s important.
• Hard work is holy work. No job is beneath you.

Though you may not be ready to pack up and move into a 120-year-old farmhouse like Lana, you can experience more grace and authenticity right where you are when you learn to seek beauty in your surroundings, cultivate bonds with those you love, and work hand in hand with God.
