Martyrs And Chickens
$21.95
gr?-no-l? adj: Term Gen Xers and Elder Millenials use to connote an eco-conscious, peace-lovin’, homemade, slightly unwashed vibe. me-n?-nit noun: Oh, dear, where to start? Not with bonnets and buggies, certainly, or the denominational conferences and non-conference conferences. Not with Yoders in my family tree. Once upon a time in the sixteenth century . . .
Raised to believe in peace, woodstoves, and homemade bread, Kirsten Eve Beachy embarks on married life with a Mennonite boy from a dairy farm in this memoir of collected essays. As they dabble in homesteading, care for aging relatives, discover more about their family and denominational history, and overcome infertility, she learns to trust her voice as writer and mother of twins, one with Down syndrome.
With authenticity and wit, Beachy wonders what a martyr heritage means for herself and her children, celebrates the complexities of simple living, and seeks balance as artist and caregiver. Along the way, there are apocryphal Mennonite cookbook recipes, corn day, a farm auction, butchering up close and personal, a doctrine of backyard chickens, surprising genealogical discoveries, an alphabet of infertility, tragedy in the beehive, midnight chantings of a breast pump, dancing through a pandemic, and fresh takes on Amish and Mennonite histories of the Hochstetler massacre, the White Stutzman, and the Civil War.

Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limits and limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: Can I set limits and still be a loving person?

This updated and expanded edition specifically addresses boundaries in the digital age, online dating, single parenting, and the workplace.
Boundaries are personal property lines that define who you are and who you are not, and influence all areas of your life – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
Unpacking ten laws of boundaries, Drs. Cloud and Townsend show you how to bring new health to your relationships. You’ll discover firsthand how sound boundaries give you the freedom to walk as the loving, giving, fulfilled individual God created you to be.
