Lifesizing® Your Holidays
Holiday Deliciousness — Your Free Guide to a More Joyful Holiday Table
In my lifetime, I have spent more hours than I could possibly count in the kitchen. On holidays, those hours seemed to multiply — and eventually I found myself asking whether there was a better way to bring something delicious and nourishing to the table without sacrificing the precious time I actually wanted to spend with the people I love.
Holiday eating has changed. Our lives are busier, our families look different, and the way we think about food and wellness has evolved. What has not changed is the desire to gather, to share a beautiful meal, and to make memories around the table.
That is exactly what inspired me to create Holiday Deliciousness — a free guide to simplifying your holiday cooking while bringing a little more intention and a lot more joy to everything you serve.
So pull out your favorite apron, preheat the oven, and let's make the holidays delicious.

I’ve been asked to write testimonials for many books, but I’ve never had an experience like the one I had while reading The Door to Restoration. I read the entire book from cover to cover in one sitting! My mind and heart were bursting with overwhelming excitement, and I hate to admit, some jealousy of your (and Bob’s) incredible tenacity! I was mesmerized by your writing, the photos, and the significance of God’s Word in your journey. I especially appreciated your sharing how your inspiring story interweaves with America’s story. I’m not sure what I can say about your book that would begin to communicate the significance of your concept of “Lifesizing®” to architecture and design, and ultimately to happier and healthier lives.

How could a hideously neglected house ‘one crying for a teardown’ change one’s life? Interior designer Mitzi Beach tells the story of how she felt called by God to renovate this Kansas house she and her husband had dubbed “Cypress.” Full of practical ideas for aging -in -place, Beach also takes us on a deep spiritual journey sharing how this project changed her heart, her marriage and her outlook on growing older. This is a must reading for all baby boomers who want to enjoy their home in peace and safety, and more importantly, want to understand the restoration God is working in their own life.
