“Just wanted to let you know we really enjoy your magazine. My husband and I say, ‘These people think how we think!’ You seem to realize the blessings and joy that go with homesteading and taking time to enjoy the little things in life. The adoption stories are so interesting. May God bless all those parents and siblings who reach out in God’s love in giving those little ones a home where they are loved. Rory’s articles are another favorite. God’s blessings to all!”

“Blessings to each one of you and your family, friends… I am truly excited to obtain your magazine! Even if for a moment, to immerse myself in the time with a much slower pace of living and connect myself with people who put God first in their life. It’s still good and comforting to know people are living Simply to the world’s measures, yet Richly to God’s measures—the only “measures” that truly matter.”

“We absolutely love the Plain Values magazine and pray for your organization as you educate us and help children through your organization. What a much kinder, gentler, and better world this would and could be if our society returned to the Lord and practiced these “plain values” daily.”

About Marlin Miller, Publisher of Invited

After walking the path of infertility for five years, Marlin and his wife began the adoption process. Today they have four children … Bryson is on the Autism spectrum, Adelaide and Bennett both have Down syndrome, and Miles has Mosaic Down syndrome. Ten years ago, they started a print magazine called Plain Values that stands on a few pillars: sharing the gospel with the Amish across the country, homesteading, the beauty of adoption, and shining a light on the dignity of kids with special needs. Over the years, they have welcomed many “non-Amish” folks as readers. At heart, Plain Values is about cultivating and living in authentic community with our neighbors.
