Do you long for rest and peace? For even a short break in the midst of your busy day? Then put up your feet, drink some tea, and travel into Ellen Stouffer’s countryside, where gardens bloom with snowdrops in March and asters in October. Where friends gather to share good food and easy conversation. Where beautiful paintings of pastoral landscapes and colorful gardens hearken back to a simpler time--a time of quiet contentment.

As you enjoy these inspirational stories, paired with lovely art that will stir your soul, you’ll be reminded of the things in life that really matter--faith, love, peace, the joy of home, family, and friends--and the many blessings we all enjoy every day.

A Country Sampler of Simple Blessings is a gift book that combines charming scenes of country living with inspirational stories about how God speaks to us through everyday miracles. Celebrating the everyday moments of life, each heartwarming story shares a lesson learned and a Scripture verse. The book features the art of Ellen Stouffer, a folk artist whose lovely and unusual paintings will stir your heart and reawaken memories of faith, love, peace, and days gone by.
