Award-winning Heart & Home Book Series adds third title that combines beautiful devotions, home decorating tips

‘Guard Your Heart & Home’ helps readers experience spiritual peace in family relationships, living space

NESBIT, Miss., September 13, 2021—In today’s Pinterest-perfect world with never-ending pressures and busy schedules, cultivating beauty and peace within our homes can feel unachievable. In her new gift book, Guard Your Heart & Home: Pursuing Peace in Your Living Space (End Game Press, September 2021), author and speaker Victoria Duerstock taps into her 20+ years of experience in the home furnishings industry to bring readers a beautiful gift book that will help create spaces they enjoy and a peaceful foundation for their family.

“Pursuing peace in our homes is often easier said than done,” says Duerstock. “It’s a challenge because we live in a world that is anything but peaceful, but Scripture teaches us that as much as we can control our reactions and our environment, we are to live in peace with one another.”

Featuring 60 days of devotionals paired with Scripture and decorating tips, Guard Your Heart & Home showcases beautiful photographs of living spaces that visually illustrate tangible beauty and peace and offers helpful tips for families, especially newlyweds.

Duerstock is available for interviews and can speak to:

  • Take the pressure off: stop focusing on “Pinterest standards” and follow these design tips instead
  • 3 practical tips for facilitating peace within your marriage and family
  • Finding beauty and peace in your everyday life
  • 6 tips to both simplify and elevate your home décor
  • How to decorate in a way that reflects the spirit of peace

“I wrote this partuclar volume during a season with little faith, hope or love in our culture,” says Duerstock. “It’s difficult to watch how divided and isolated we have become. I pray this book will inspire peaceful connection and community inside of our homes so that a watching world can observe the power and love of Christ.”

The perfect addition to any coffee table or wedding gift, the devotions and decorating tips in this beautiful book will encourage spiritual growth and equip readers to achieve the happy heart and home they desire.
