Heart & Home: Design Basics for Your Soul and Living Space by Victoria Duerstock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

First of all, I am not a design guru or anything like that. I can watch all the design shows and see all sorts of intriguing designs. But at the end of the day, I just am not into actually investing the work. It’s not my forte.

Interestingly enough, however, the idea for the book is captivating and pure genius! I was intrigued with the fact that the author made a devotional that incorporated design ideas and elements all inspired by Scripture. The photos included made the book come alive for me, and I was totally enraptured, as was my mother.

The best thing about this book is that it can be a devotional that is non-threatening. If you have a lady in your life who loves decorating her home or maybe would like to be inspired to decorate her home, this is the ideal book to give to her, no matter her spiritual condition. It is not overly preachy, and it is a beautiful book in every sense of the word. In fact, I am passing along my copy to my sister-in-law who just loves decorating her home. I believe it will inspire her in more ways than just design. I pray it will inspire her to delve deeper in her relationship with the Lord.

By the way, I am very excited for the Christmas book coming out later this year!!
