Walking by Faith

{ 04:09 , 2008-May-15 } { 1 comments } { Link }
For the last ten years, customers and readers like you have been asking,  “When are you going to publish a book containing all your bread recipes and other family favorite recipes and information that you have been publishing in your catalog over the years?” (Our 39th catalog was just printed two months ago.).

Until a year ago, a hard copy of my book Fast and Healthy Menus for Busy Moms was still a dream and an ambition.  My husband, always my best cheer leader,  encouraged and sacrificed his time to format my ebook into a printable format for the first edition, a step of faith for us.  This edition sold out in less than a year.

Let me tell you a little more about how The Urban Homemaker evolved from my hobby to a family business. Nearly 18 years ago, my late husband and I were praying about whether we should continue with my small hobby-business, The Urban Homemaker.  At that time we just offered mills, mixers and related accessories. 

During our prayer time, the phone rang and we decided to answer it.  The caller was inquiring as to whether of not I would be available to do a whole wheat/Bosch bread baking demonstration for their support group.

We took that phone call as an affirmative “Yes” answer to our prayer.  We have continued with The Urban Homemaker as a family business for seventeen years, fifteen of which Duane devoted full-time to the undertaking.  In fact, The Urban Homemaker has always been the Lord's business and a business built and guided on faith in God Almighty despite the peaks and valleys; and twists and turns in the road we have experienced over the years.

In another step of financial faith, Duane had just completed the necessary revisions, formating, and arrangements with a printer for the second edition of Fast and Healthy Menus for Busy Moms just days before he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.

Starting today, we are taking pre-publication orders for Fast and Healthy Recipes for Busy Moms – Second Edition, which is dedicated to the memory of my late husband Duane, and includes eight bonuses worth over $70.00 retail altogether. 

The eight bonuses are as follows:

BONUS # 1 – Pre-school Activities in a Bag – ebook Sampler by Paula Reetz and Sherri MacLean.
$7.95 retail value.

BONUS # 2: The Get Organized Combo Set from Homeschooling with Index Cards. $7.95 retail value.

BONUS #3: Secrets of Successful Homeschooling by Paul and Gena Suarez, publishers of the The Old Schoohouse Magazine. $12.45 retail value.

BONUS #4: Steps to the Best Bread by Marilyn Moll. $7.95 retail value.

BONUS #5: Simple Tips for Successful Home Management - Volume 1 by Crystal Paine.  $5.95 retail value.

BONUS #6: The Joy of the LORD is my strength AND , Keeping Young Ones Happy and Occupied During School Time MP3 audios.  $5.00 retail value.

BONUS #7: ORGANIZING HAPPINESS Ebook by Lorrie Flem  $7.95 retail value.

BONUS #8:  Bulk Cooking for the Freezer: Ground Beef from Menus4Moms. $7.95 retail value.

The  pre-publication book price with bonuses is $12.95.  This offer, including bonuses, is worth over $70.00.  This limited time, steal of a deal offer, will only go through May 26.  We will begin shipping the books the week of May 27. 

This basic cookbook makes perfect gifts for yourself, friends, wedding gifts, shower gifts and your investment in this book will certainly be a tangible way of telling me and my family whether The Urban Homemaker should continue with it's mission to “teach old-fashioned skills for contemporary people” in the future.

International Order question

Hi Marilyn,
I am very interested in this. I really want one! But I am in New Zealand, so how much would the postage be?
Your bread is such a blessing to our family - we all love it, and I have been praying for you over these last few weeks.
