Synopsis

Home. It is an elegant word, at once both simple and far-reaching. Home is a place to live in and feel comfortable, but it is much more than that.Home is where we are nurtured, where we live, and where we love. The language of Home is universal. It is where we find the eternal in the everyday.But the Home has been neglected. To millions of women today, there is nothing worse than being a “homemaker.” If only they knew the supreme value (and reward) of giving loved ones a place to call Home.  Written by two wives and mothers, Theology of Home is a simple guide to help reorient all of us toward our true home, allowing us to think purposefully about how to make our own homes on earth better equipped to get all those living in them to the Father’s house. Featuring more than 100 beautiful (and inspiring) photographs from homes around the country, profound words from the saints and other literary figures, and in depth commentary on the theological and spiritual underpinnings of our love for Home, Theology of Home offers readers a tour of the both the Home and the human heart.

Goodreads review by Jennifer on July 24, 2020

So I enjoyed the book but there were a few things that I didn’t like. First, I was under the impression it was going to give tips of decorating your home to reflect your beliefs. It really didn’t. Secondly, I wish different types of families would have been represented. It was the same type of famil......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on February 23, 2021

Beautiful and thoughtful. I’m not a Catholic but one of the things I appreciate about their doctrine the most is their approach to sacramental living. As a Protestant Evangelical I find the emphasis on liturgy, spiritual discipline, and the sacred approach to the mundane refreshing. One worth readin......more
