Tangible acts of feasting and festivity have filled Lanier Ivester’s home for decades. Yet woven into that joy are the sorrows that have shaped her life–and her story reminds us that even in seasons of loss, we can still find wonder, hope, and glad and golden hours of celebration.

At its heart, Glad and Golden Hours embodies a rich theology of Creation–showing us what it means to live fully, even when life holds both grief and joy. It is a feast for the table and the soul, guiding you to anticipate the true Feast to come: the Kingship of Christ revealed in the seasons of Advent and Christmastide.

“This is not a manual or a how-to, or a glorified to-do list, but a companion, in the neighborliest sense of the word. The recipes and crafts in these pages, even the suggestions themselves, are merely that: suggestions to help you contemplate your own holiday with creativity and significance. It is, above all, an invitation, regardless of your age, marital status, or living situation, to experience Christmas as a place of rest–not in spite of, but in the very midst of the merriment of these glad and golden hours.” – Lanier Ivester

Bring beauty, meaning, and joy into your Advent and Christmas celebrations this year with Glad & Golden Hours.
